Sinopsis: George Taylor forma parte de una tripulación de astronautas a bordo de una nave espacial -en una misión de larga duración- que se estrella en un planeta desconocido y aparentemente carente de vida inteligente. Sin embargo pronto se da cuenta de que el lugar está gobernado por una raza de simios inteligentes que esclavizan a los seres humanos, que carecen de la facultad del habla. Cuando su líder, el doctor Zaius, descubre con horror la facultad de hablar de Taylor, decide que lo mejor es exterminarlo. (FILMAFFINITY)
----------------------------------------
Todo un clásico de la Ciencia-Ficción que, a pesar de haber trascendido como una película "intelectual" sobre la condición del hombre, no es sino una entretenidísima película de aventuras con uno de los finales más comentados de la historia del cine. Excelente diseño de producción y gran fotografía de Leon Shamroy para un film que obtuvo dos nominaciones al Oscar (mejor vestuario y mejor banda sonora) y un considerable éxito de taquilla (en USA fue el 7º con mayor recaudación del año 1968). (Pablo Kurt: FILMAFFINITY)

"Una de las mejores películas de Ciencia-Ficción hechas hasta la fecha. Mantiene todo su esplendor, sobre todo por su apocalíptico final: si no sabes cómo acaba la película tienes toda mi envidia" (Javier Ocaña: Cinemanía)
In the year 3978A.D. a spaceship with a crew of 4 crashes down on a distant planet. One of the crew members had died in space and the other 3 head out to explore the planet. They soon learn that the planet is much like their own. They then find the planet is inhabited by intelligent apes. One of the men is shot and killed and the others are taken to the apes' city. There, one undergoes brain surgery and is put into a state of living death. The other befriends some of the apes but is feared by most. After being put through ape trial he escapes with a female human native to the planet. After helping his ape friends escape a religious heresy trial he escapes out into the wilderness with the female. There he learns the planet might not be so distant after all... (IMDb)
AMG SYNOPSIS: Originally intended as a project for Blake Edwards, the film version of Pierre Boule's semisatiric sci-fi novel came to the screen in 1968 under the directorial guidance of Franklin J. Schaffner. Charlton Heston is George Taylor, one of several astronauts on a long, long space mission whose spaceship crash-lands on a remote planet, seemingly devoid of intelligent life. Soon the astronaut learns that this planet is ruled by a race of talking, thinking, reasoning apes who hold court over a complex, multilayered civilization. In this topsy-turvy society, the human beings are grunting, inarticulate primates, penned-up like animals. When ape leader Dr. Zaius (Maurice Evans) discovers that the captive Taylor has the power of speech, he reacts in horror and insists that the astronaut be killed. But sympathetic ape scientists Cornelius (Roddy McDowell) and Dr. Zira (Kim Hunter) risk their lives to protect Taylor -- and to discover the secret of their planet's history that Dr. Zaius and his minions guard so jealously. In the end, it is Taylor who stumbles on the truth about the Planet of the Apes: "Damn you! Damn you! Goddamn you all to hell!" Scripted by Rod Serling and Michael Wilson (a former blacklistee who previously adapted another Pierre Boule novel, Bridge on the River Kwai), Planet of the Apes has gone on to be an all-time sci-fi (and/or camp) classic. It won a special Academy Award for John Chambers's convincing (and, from all accounts, excruciatingly uncomfortable) simian makeup. It spawned four successful sequels, as well as two TV series, one live-action and one animated. -- Hal Erickson
AMG REVIEW: Mike Wilson and Rod Serling's script plays heavily (and sometimes simple-mindedly) on the conflicts between faith and science, while the paradoxically inverted relationship of man to apes allows the filmmakers to drive home some rather pointed attacks on racist behavior and intolerant attitudes on our planet. Charlton Heston's performance is not particularly subtle, but, between contorted grimaces and hollered epithets, he does create sympathy for his lost and angry character. The most compelling performance is by Roddy McDowell, who must spend the entire movie hidden in an ape costume. Director Franklin J. Schaffner (Patton, Papillon), along with his set designers, art directors, and makeup artists, creates an intriguing alternative world, with rabbit-warren-like habitations and cold, clinical ape masters. Planet of the Apes has an undeniable camp appeal -- several lines of dialogue are both intentionally and unintentionally hilarious, gender roles are badly dated, and the ape costumes have not aged well -- but the final scene holds up as a stirring and evocative moment of self-realization. John Chambers won an honorary Oscar for his innovative makeup. -- Dan Jardine
