“Planet of the Apes” is a 1968 American science fiction film starring Charlton Heston, Roddy McDowall and Kim Hunter. Directed by Franklin J. Schaffner, “Planet of the Apes” tells the story of three astronauts marooned on a futuristic planet where apes rule and humans are slaves. The astronauts soon end up finding themselves trapped and imprisoned by the apes. This role reversal movie takes you on a journey into the future and makes you think, “what if.” Rated G.
