Imagine a scene: the 1970s, the Philippine jungles, and the horrors of war being captured by a visionary director named Francis Ford Coppola in "Apocalypse Now."

However, what Coppola didn't realize was that chaos was hiding behind the palm trees. The cast and crew were pushed to their limits by the shooting conditions, which were as brutal as a battle.

A boiling point was reached in the clashes between Coppola and the brilliant Martin Sheen, who portrayed Captain Willard, when Sheen suffered a heart attack, abruptly halting production.

It's truly a heart-stopping drama!
