Planet of the Apes
19681 hr 52 min
Charlton Heston stars in this sci-fi classic which spawned a franchise lasting more than 50 years. Heston plays an astronaut whose crew crashes on a planet in the distant future where intelligent talking apes are the dominant species, and humans are oppressed and enslaved. The original PLANET OF THE APES boasts a brilliant script, amazing production design, impressive makeup effects, and one of the most memorable endings in film history.
