THE SAGA BEGINS! Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowall star in the fascinating first entry of this extremely popular series. This introductory story features Heston as astronaut Taylor, who crash lands on a distant planet. The world is similar to earth, but here intelligent apes rule, hunting primitive speechless humans for sport and conducting scientific experiments on the ones they don't kill. Soon Taylor himself is among the hunted, his life depending on a benevolent chimpanzee scientist (McDowall). Nominated for two Oscars and highlighted by the award-winning makeup that became a trademark of future sequels, PLANET OF THE APES is a first-rate adventure that both thrills and poses some soul-searching questions. It is grand entertainment, from its visually arresting beginning to its chilling, provocative last moment. 112 Minutes.
