Apocalypse Now is one of the most important war movies of all time. A war-weary Captain goes on a secret mission to take out a rogue Colonel and along the way the film paints a portrait of the violence and futility of the Vietnam War. But what most people don't know is that the gonzo character of Colonel Kurtz played by Marlon Brando, was inspired by real-life Colonel Robert B. Rheault. In Vietnam 1969, nothing was more important than intelligence, so when a special forces A-Team discovers that they might have a double agent in their midst they have to play it just right. Secret meetings, covert ops, brutal ambushes and murder are all on the table as trust disintegrates and soldiers turn on one another. You think you know the story of Apocalypse Now, but this is The Shocking Truth.
