Short description
The fifth and final episode in the Planet of the Apes series. After the collapse of human civilization, a community of intelligent apes led by Caesar lives in harmony with a group of humans. Gorilla General Aldo tries to cause an ape civil war and a community of human mutants who live beneath a destroyed city try to conquer those whom they perceive as enemies. All leading to the finale.
What's left behind the scenes
- Initially, it was intended that Gary Rhodes, who played McDonald in 'Conquest of the Planet of the Apes' (J. Lee Thompson, 1972), would reappear on screen, but the actor declined, and his brother, played by Austin Stoker, was written into the plot.
- The role of Mandemus, responsible for the arsenal, was played by Lew Ayers (1908-1996), known for his anti-war beliefs.
- In the original ending of John William Corrington’s story, it was proposed to show children of both races (human and ape) peacefully playing in a playground. Paul Dehn insisted on a more ominous finale, but his suggestion was rejected.
