Three hundred years after the death of Caesar. Apes hunt humans for sport. Apes keep humans as slaves. Apes rule the world.

A bright-eyed young chimpanzee, Noa, senses something’s not right and sets out to bring some balance to this new natural order. However, tyrant bonobo leader Proximus only wants more oppression, even turning on his own kind and experimenting on captured humans in a chilling reversal of our animal testing reality and the distressing scenes that started this film series.

Wes Ball, director of The Maze Runner trilogy, reignites the franchise with a bold new vision that stands alone from the recent film trio, yet remains connected to it and furthers its legacy. Expect more jaw-dropping visual effects, striking cinematography, and another beautifully-composed score in a cinematic world that’s still ripe for more big screen battles and adventures. The exciting new cast includes Kevin Durand, Freya Allen, William H. Macy, Peter Macon, and a new lead. As Noa, Owen Teague was mentored by motion-capture pioneer Andy Serkis – who wowed audiences as Caesar – to create a compelling new ape messiah.

In a world where apes are the dominant species, it’s Noa’s compassion, curiosity, and unlikely companionship with captive human, Mae, that enables him to dream of a more inclusive world. Together, ape and human must work together to take down Proximus and lead the fight for freedom.
