Planet of the Apes

Charlton Heston stars in this science-fiction classic about an astronaut who crash-lands on a planet where civilized apes rule and humans are mute savages living in the wild. Entertaining, allegorical and an instant cultural phenomenon, the film inspired four sequels, a live-action and cartoon TV series and other spin-off material.
