BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES
- BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES
Film (1973). Apjac/20th Century-Fox. Dir J. Lee Thompson, starring Roddy McDowall, Claude Akins, Natalie Trundy, Lew Ayres, John Huston. Screenplay John William Corrington, Joyce Hooper Corrington, based on a story by Paul Dehn. 86 mins. Colour.
The fifth and last of the series beginning with PLANET OF THE APES (to which this is a "prequel") and the most disappointing. Established in their own Ape City after the near destruction of mankind in WWIII, the social-democrat chimpanzee people, still led by Caesar (from
ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES), become involved in a three-way struggle with a community of radiation-scarred human survivors and the militant gorilla people. There is a feeling of pointlessness about this simplistic film's attempt to squeeze a few more dollars from the series. The novelization is Battle for the Planet of the Apes * (1973) by David GERROLD.
