Colorful, futuristic sets, a relentless pace and an action-packed climax highlight the fourth episode of the legendary Apes saga, starring Roddy McDowall and Ricardo Montalban. The time is the near future. Apes have supplanted dogs and cats as household pets, and replaced servants as personal assistants - until their continual mistreatment provokes one advanced ape from the future, Caesar (McDowall), to lead a spectacular revolt. It's thrilling science fiction that offers both a serious message and stirring entertainment.
"The best of the series." Fred Topel, About.com
"Some of the series' finest writing and certainly Roddy McDowall's best performance!" The SF, Horror and Fantasy Film Review
"A hard-edged thriller featuring a sleekly sinister look and a disturbing tone that's quite different from any of the other films in the series." TV Guide
Editor's Note
An intelligent ape from the far future leads an Army of monkey servants in a revolt against their human masters. The fourth film in the PLANET OF THE APES series features the most explosive subtext of any film in the series, and a sleek, futuristic production design. Followed by BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES.
Plot Summary
This fourth film in the "Planet of the Apes" series picks up the action a few years after "Escape from the Planet of the Apes" left off.| At the end of the third movie, the ape Cornelius and his wife Zira were murdered by humans when they traveled back in time. However, their son, Caesar, remained behind with kind-hearted circus owner Armando, who kept the ape's existence a secret.| "Conquest of the Planet of the Apes" opens in 1991, after an epidemic has wiped out the dog population, and talking apes have become humans' favorite pets. But the primates endure a horrible existence, chained-up and forced to perform slave labor.| Governor Breck, who rules the land with an iron fist, despises the apes and attempts to find the now fully-grown Caesar. The villainous leader's plan is to kill Caesar before the simian can cause any trouble and help his fellow apes take over the world.| Caesar turns out to be a lot more intelligent than Breck expected, however, and won't put up with the governor's abuse. Before long, Caesar convinces those of his kind to stage a massive revolt against the human race...
