In the 1968 Sci-fi Classic The Planet of the Apes, three astronauts are marooned on a futuristic planet where apes rule and humans are slaves. The trio discovers that these highly intellectual simians can both walk upright and talk. They have even established a class system and a political structure. The astronauts suddenly find themselves part of a devalued species, trapped and imprisoned by the apes. But one, Taylor, manages to break out and, aided by a pair of compassionate chimps, makes his escape to an uninhabited section of land. However, during the trek Taylor makes a startling, unsettling discovery about the planet--and realizes he's come full circle. PLANET OF THE APES is based on the novel by Pierre Boulle with a screenplay co-written by Rod Serling. The movie was well received by critics and audiences, launching a film franchise that includes 4 sequels, a short-lived television show, an animated series, comic books, various merchandising, and eventually a remake in 2001. |
