Astronaut Taylor crash lands on a distant planet ruled by apes who use a primitive race of humans for experimentation and sport. Soon Taylor finds himself among the hunted, his life in the hands of a benevolent chimpanzee scientist.
A stranded astronaut discovers a nightmare world where intelligent apes rule and humans are reduced to mute, caged animals. This reversal of the natural order turns a survival mission into a terrifying struggle for dignity.
