Inspired by Joseph Conrad's 1899 novella 'Heart of Darkness,' this Vietnam War epic had a notoriously problem-riddled film set. What's the name of the movie?

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