Escape from the Planet of the Apes
About
The world is shocked by the appearance of three talking chimpanzees, who arrived mysteriously in a spacecraft. Intrigued by their intelligence, humans use them for research - until the apes attempt to escape.
Roddy McDowall radiates a frantic, desperate intelligence that makes the sudden shift from scientific curiosity to planetary survival feel genuinely urgent. This clever inversion of the original franchise swaps conquering conquerors for a family of refugees just trying to outrun human cruelty.
