2029... Astronaut Leo Davidson (Mark Wahlberg) boards a pod cruiser on a space station for a routine reconnaissance mission. But, an abrupt detour through a space-time wormhole lands him on a strange planet where talking apes rule over the human race. With the help of a sympathetic chimpanzee activist named Ari (Helena Bonham-Carter) and a small band of human rebels, Leo leads the effort to evade the advancing gorilla army led by General Thade (Tim Roth) and his most trusted warrior, Attar (Michael Clarke Duncan). Now the race is on to reach a sacred temple within the planet's forbidden zone to discover the shocking secrets of mankind's past and the key to its future... |

| PLANET OF THE APES
depicts an upside-down world – a brutal, primal place where apes
are in charge and humans scavenge for subsistence, hunted and enslaved
by the tyrannical primates. The sudden appearance of one man, alien
to the present order and unaffected by its oppression, serves as a
challenge to the status quo and a catalyst for revolutionary social
change. This film, unlike the original, does not take place on Earth;
its many surprises lie elsewhere. “We’re definitely not in Kansas anymore,” declares screenwriter William Broyles, Jr. (Fox’s “Cast Away” and Oscar-nominated for co-writing “Apollo 13”), who credits the 1968 film as “an extraordinarily original movie.” Broyles says, the new film presents “a sense of possibility and adventure. It speaks to the value of following your heart, of putting yourself on the line for what’s important.” Broyles adds that PLANET OF THE APES “makes us look at people who we think are across some deep divide – be it cultural, racial, intellectual, national or religious – and then look at those people in a different way.” More info |
