Based on Joseph Conrad's 1899 novella 'Heart of Darkness,' this Vietnam War epic had a notoriously problem-riddled production. What's the name of the film?

The film's production was beset by so many difficulties that director Francis Ford Coppola once said, "My film is not about Vietnam, it is Vietnam." The problems included the severe weather destroying their Philippines-based set, Brando arriving overweight and unprepared, then refusing to be on set at the same time as Dennis Hopper, Martin Sheen having a nervous breakdown, followed by a near-fatal heart attack. Nevertheless, they persisted... and the film was awarded the Palme d'Or at Cannes.
