In the midst of the Vietnam war, Captain Benjamin Willard embarks on a perilous mission to eliminate a rogue Green Beret Colonel. As he navigates the treacherous jungle, he confronts the darkness within himself.

His goal is to locate - and eliminate - a mysterious Green Beret Colonel named Walter Kurtz, who has been leading his personal army on illegal guerrilla missions into enemy territory.
