Released in 1968, Planet of the Apes is a ground-breaking movie which, in the tradition of great science fiction, reflects, conflicts and questions our own society. The film tells the story of an astronaut crew which crash-lands on a dystopian planet in the year 3978, about two millennia after their departure on a near light-speed voyage. In a desolate landscape, the surviving crew members, led by Taylor (played by the late Hollywood star Charlton Heston), discover a society in which apes are the dominant species with human-like intelligence and speech. Organized in a strict caste system, the apes treat humans like vermin who are hunted to be killed, enslaved or used for experiments.
