Lionsgate is releasing Apocalypse Now on blu-ray for the first time ever, and we’ve got three copies to give away!
In the Vietnam War epic, Martin Sheen stars as Army Captain Willard, a troubled man sent on a dangerous
top-secret mission into Cambodia to assassinate a rogue Green Beret, Col. Kurtz (Brando), who has barricaded
himself in a remote outpost. As Willard ventures deeper and deeper into the wilderness of the jungle, he embarks
on a strange journey that leads him to Kurtz – but also forces him to come face to face with the terrifying vision of
the heart of darkness in us all.
