Charlton Heston & Roddy Mc Dowall star in this legendary science fiction masterpiece. Astronaut Taylor (Heston) crash lands on a distant planet ruled by apes who use a primitive race of humans for experimentation & sport. Soon Taylor finds himself among the hunted, his life in the hands of a benevolent chimpanzee scientist (Mc Dowall). Winner of an Honorary Academy Award' for Outstanding Make-up Achievement & nominated for two Oscars, (1968 Best Costume Design & Best Original Score) Planet of the Apes is grand entertainment from its visually arresting beginning to the chilling last moment. A message in a bottle is the last thing Phyllis & Jinn expect to find when they're sailing through space. But it provides them with the most sensational holiday reading under the suns. Contained within is the extraordinary story of Ulysse Merou, Earth-dweller. In the year 2500, or thereabouts, he & his fellow scientists discover the far-flung planet which so closely resembles their own. But there is one essential difference on Soror. The race of beautiful naked people whom the incredulous cosmonauts first encounter are seemingly incapable of speech or reason. & the beings by whom Merou & his crew are swiftly & efficiently taken prisoner are creatures who walk, talk, dress & behave exactly as the rulers of Earth. Except they are apes...
