Planet of the Apes stars Hollywood legend Charlton Heston as Taylor, one of three space explorers who crash land on a bizarre planet in the future. They search the new territory for evidence of life, and discover a rabble of mute human savages, but all too quickly they are captured by a group of apes on horseback! To their horror they discover themselves in a bizarre reverse universe where simians rule and humans are caged and used for experimentation. The incarcerated Taylor finds hope in the form of Zira (Hunter) and Cornelius (McDowell), two benevolent chimps whose job is to study human behaviour. Noticing Taylor’s superior intelligence, they endeavour to help him escape, but first they must overcome notorious human-hater and ape leader Dr Zaius. The film won an Honorary Academy Award for Outstanding Make-up achievement and was nominated for 2 more (Costume Design and Original Score).
