The 1979 film "Apocalypse Now" has the line: "Horror has a face, and you must make a friend of horror". These are specific words which are spoken by Colonel Walter E. Kurtz (Marlon Brando). Colonel Kurtz is a fictional character and the main antagonist of the film "Apocalypse Now". He employed barbaric methods not only to defeat his enemy but also to send fear. At the first Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV), the senior officers in Kurtz's chain of command did not object to his tactics, especially as they proved successful. This soon changed when Kurtz allowed photographs of his atrocities and horrible conduct to be released to the world.

"Apocalypse Now" is an epic war film that was directed and written by Francis Ford Coppola. Coppola had great help with the writing from John Milius. In the film, it follows Captain Benjamin L. Willard (Martin Sheen) on a dangerous mission to assassinate a renegade Green Beret who has set himself up as a god of a band of brutal guerrillas in the jungles of Cambodia. The film is one that is a very loose adaptation of the 1899 novella 'Heart of Darkness' by Joseph Conrad.
