Released in 2019 to celebrate the original film’s 40th anniversary, Apocalypse Now: Final Cut is Francis Ford Coppola’s preferred version of his anti-war masterpiece, featuring an extended runtime and a 4K restoration of the original film.

In Vietnam in 1970, Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) takes a perilous and increasingly hallucinatory journey upriver to find and terminate Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), a once-promising officer who has reportedly gone completely mad. In the company of a Navy patrol boat filled with street-smart kids, a surfing-obsessed Air Cavalry officer (Robert Duvall), and a crazed freelance photographer (Dennis Hopper), Willard travels further and further into the heart of darkness.

“Final Cut will be screened theatrically … and it demands to be seen there, both by longtime admirers and by young viewers lucky enough to have their first viewing be in a theater. … This is an overwhelming sensory experience, with deep colors and nuanced sound amplifying the film’s hypnotic effect.” John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter
