Planet Of The Apes

Jet, July 30, 2001 by Sylvia P. Flanagan

Rated (PG-13) (Twentieth Century Fox)

A pilot crash lands on a strange planet, finding himself in a brutal, primal place where apes are in charge and humans are hunted and enslaved by the tyrannical primates. This, the premise of Pierre Boulle's classic novel of the same name, has become one of the most recognized and provocative concepts in the canon of science fiction literature and cinema. In addition, this film, unlike the 1968 original that also was based on Boulle's novel, does not take place on Earth; its many surprises lie elsewhere. Starring Mark Wahlberg, Tim Roth, Helena Bonham Carter, Michael Clarke Duncan, Evan Dexter Parke, Kris Kristofferson, Paul Giamatti, Estella Warren, and many more.
