DOUBLE FEATURE! The rise of and resulting PLANET OF THE APES is captured in dual classics 40+ years apart.

Andy Serkis delivers a revelatory motion-capture performance as Caesar the ape alongside James Franco (127 Hours) in RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. A substance designed to help the brain repair itself gives advanced intelligence to a chimpanzee who leads an ape uprising in the first of an unforgettable trilogy.

Charlton Heston stars in Oscar-winning science-fiction classic PLANET OF THE APES. Complex sociological themes run through this franchise-starter 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.
