The story of the truly apocalyptic filming of one of the 20th century's greatest movies.

The Philippines, March 1976: shooting begins on a film that will forever go down in Hollywood history. Typhoons, stars getting fired and throwing tantrums, an atrocious climate, tropical illnesses, the main actor suffering a heart attack, the director deep in depression and paranoia, an out-of-control budget and a freewheeling crew… The hellish shoot that created a film classic: Apocalypse Now!
