PLANET OF THE APES (1968)
Charlton Heston stars as Taylor, an astronaut who crash-lands on a mysterious world where intelligent apes rule - and hunt primitive, speechless humans for sport. Soon, Taylor's life depends on the kindness of the chimpanzee scientists Cornelius and Zira (Roddy McDowall and Kim Hunter) and his escape to the Forbidden Zone, where he uncovers an earth-shattering secret that may hold the key to his own destiny.
Featuring a screenplay by Rod Serling (The Twilight Zone), and Winner of an Honorary Academy Award for Outstanding Make-up Achievement, PLANET OF THE APES is grand entertainment from its visually arresting beginning to the chilling last moment.
BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES (1970)
In the acclaimed sequel to Planet Of The Apes, another astronaut (James Franciscus) crashes through the time barrier searching for Taylor (Charlton Heston). The daring rescue mission leads to a subterranean city where mutant humans, who practice mind control, worship a weapon capable of destroying the entire planet. Both an action-oriented sci-fi adventure and a wry commentary on today's world, this second Apes installment is imaginative entertainment for fantasy buffs of all ages.
ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES (1971)
Roddy McDowall and Kim Hunter reprise their roles form the original Planet Of The Apes in this third chapter of the Apes saga. Two intelligent simians from the future, Cornelius and Zira, travel to present-day Earth. They become instant sensations, wined and dined and treated like celebrities - until a high-level plot forces them to run for their lives! Featuring Ricardo Montalban and Sal Mineo, it's a delightful blend of humor, social commentary and suspense.
CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (1972)
Colorful, futuristic sets, a relentless pace and an action-packed climax highlight the fourth episode of the legendary Apes saga. The time is the near future. Apes have replaced dogs and cats as household pets, and servants as personal assistants - until their continual mistreatment provokes one advanced ape from the future, Caesar, to lead a spectacular revolt. Starring Roddy McDowall and Ricardo Montalban, it's thrilling science fiction that delivers both a serious message and stirring entertainment.
BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES (1973)
Roddy McDowall and Claude Akins star in the final chapter of the legendary Apes saga. Set in 2001 A.D., an idyllic society of man and ape is threatened by both a militant gorilla (Akins) and a tribe of still-intelligent mutant humans. Finally, simmering tensions dividing the primates erupt in an apocalyptic climax. When the smoke clears, the carnage is everywhere, but there is hope for a new beginning for man and ape.
