Complex sociological themes run through this science-fiction classic, about three astronauts marooned on a futuristic planet where apes rule and humans are slaves. The stunned trio discovers that these highly intellectual simians can both walk upright and talk. They have even established a class system and a political structure. The astronauts suddenly find themselves part of a devalued species, trapped and imprisoned by the apes. But one, Taylor, manages to break out and, aided by a pair of compassionate chimps, makes his escape to an uninhabited section of land. However, during the trek Taylor makes a startling, unsettling discovery about the planet--and realizes he's come full circle. Based on the novel by Pierre Boulle with a screenplay co-written by Rod Serling.

    To rinjiro: you sounded like a credible reviewer right until you mentioned Planet of the Apes being a product of the pessimistic 70s. The movie was released in 1968. Please make sure your facts are correct before posting a review. Anyway, the movie s...peaks volumes on so many different levels that even if you weren't born or raised in that time period, you can see the parallels in today's society and also the sometimes idiocy of mankind. Aside from a few misplaced jokes, this movie is pretty much perfect. It has definitely made me want to read the book and compare between the two. I hope that the new film does the old one justice.
