Milius became interested in adapting Heart of Darkness Apocalypse Now Now a Vietnam War setting, and initially began developing the film with Coppola as producer and George Lucas as director.

The third-generation West Point graduate could have pursued more conventional command assignments to eventually rise to four-star general. Weeks later, the PBR reaches the remote U. Army outpost by the Do Lung Bridge. Willard and Lance enter the outpost after nightfall, seeking information on what is upriver and receive a dispatch bag containing official and personal mail. Unable to find any commanding officer at Do Lung, Willard orders the Chief to continue as an unseen enemy assaults the bridge.

The PBR arrives at Kurtz's outpost, located on the site of a long abandoned Angkor Empire temple compound, teeming with Montagnards and strewn with corpses and severed heads. Willard, Chef and Lance are greeted by an American freelance photojournalist, who manically praises Kurtz's genius. As they wander through, they come across a near- catatonic Colby, along with other US servicemen now in Kurtz's renegade army.

The novellabased on Conrad's experience as a steamboat captain in Africa, is set in the Congo Free State during the 19th century.
