It is the third screen adaptation of the novella, following a 1958 television adaptation for the anthology series Playhouse 90 starring Boris Karloff, and 1979's Apocalypse Now with Marlon Brando, which loosely adapted it and updated it to the Vietnam War.
The film was filmed as a co-production with Ted Turner's Turner Pictures, and then aired by his TNT network on March 13, 1993.
