“Director Wes Ball breathes new life into the global, epic, franchise set several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign, in which apes are the dominant species living harmoniously and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.”
Following on from thecritically acclaimedPlanet of the Apestrilogy, which was comprised ofRise of the Planet of the Apes,Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and finallyWar for the Planet of the Apes, the epic saga continues with another long title,Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
Set many years after the conclusion of the modern trilogy, the follow-up finds many ape societies having grown from when the Moses-like Caesar brought his people to an oasis, while humans have been reduced to a feral-like existence. Some groups have never heard of Caesar, while others have contorted his teaching to build burgeoning empires.
When one ape leader begins to enslave other groups to find human technology, another ape, who watched his clan be taken, embarks on a journey to find freedom. A young human woman becomes key to latter’s quest, although she has plans of her own…
