Unfortunately, they've landed in the middle of a grim situation. Two astronauts from our time have landed here, retracing the path of their lost comrade, Captain Taylor (Charlton Heston). The mass of humanity has descended into speechless savagery, kept as captive animals by the talking apes who have inherited the world. The second-and most horrifying-of the five Planet of the Apes movies, this film goes where few end-of-the-world movies ever dare tread.
