The Planet of the Apes franchise spans nearly 50 years, starting out as a novel, written by Pierre Boulle in 1963 called ‘LaPlanète des Singes’. This novel was developed into a film in 1968 called ‘Planet of the Apes’ and starred Charlton Heston, Kim Hunter, and Roddy McDowall amongst others.
The plot of this film following an astronaut crew that crash-lands on a planet in the year 3978A.D. In this dystopian future, intelligent, talking apes are the dominant species, who have enslaved and oppressed the humans.
There have been various spinoffs and sequels, but some of the most popular films came from the reboot in 2011. The more recent trilogy includes 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes’ (2011), ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ (2014), and ‘War for the Planet of the Apes’ (2017).
This trilogy follows a chimpanzee named Caesar (Andy Serkis), who gains human-like intelligence and emotions after being given an experimental drug. Scientist Will Rodman (James Franco) and a primatologist Caroline Aranha (Freida Pinto) raise Caesar like a child until he is taken away from them and placed in an ape sanctuary, where he assembles a simian army using the same drug he was given.
The Army of Apes then battle it out against the Humans over the following films and are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth's dominant species.
The series of films has been hugely popular over the years, and it’s no surprise that the films have been nominated for several Academy Awards such as for Costume Design, Original Score, and Visual Effects.
