Synopsis
Planet of the Apes follows astronaut George Taylor (Charlton Heston) who awakes from suspended animation to find his ship crash-landing on a mysterious planet. He soon discovers that the planet is inhabited by talking apes, who have enslaved their native human population. As the only human with the capacity for speech, he resists the oppressive ape regime, all the while hoping that he can eventually find his way home.

The original and best, Planet of the Apes has no sense of irony whatsoever, and that's what makes it great. Inseparable from the sexism of its age, Planet of the Apes nevertheless has a striking visual identity that couples with the iconic twist ending to tell a surprisingly dark story.
