A Saigon, durante la guerra in Vietnam il capitano dei corpi speciali Benjamin Willard riceve dai superiori l'ordine di trovare ed eliminare il colonnello Walter Kurtz che uscito con i suoi soldati dai ranghi dell'esercito americano, sta combattendo una guerra personale ai confini fra il Vietnam e la Cambogia. Scortato da alcuni uomini, Willard risale un fiume a caccia del colonnello. Dopo varie peripezie il capitano individua Kurtz all'interno di una sorta di reggia-tempio protetta dalla vegetazione e da numerosi indigeni armati. Willard non sa che fare, ma è lo stesso Kurtz che lo induce ad eseguire la condanna.
