Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowall star in this legendary science
fiction masterpiece. Astronaut Taylor (Heston) crash lands on a planet ruled by
highly intelligent apes who use a primitive race of humans for experimentation
and sport. Soon Taylor finds himself among the hunted, with his life in the
hands of a benevolent chimpanzee scientist (McDowall). This action-packed
time-travel adventure was loosely-adapted from Pierre Boule's 1963
science-fiction novel La Planète Des Singes (Monkey Planet), with a
script developed by The Twilight Zone's Rod Serling and Michael Wilson.
