Storyline
It is the year 2029: Astronaut Leo Davidson boards a pod cruiser on a Space Station for a "routine" reconnaissance mission. But an abrupt detour through a space time wormhole lands him on a strange planet where talking apes rule over the human race. With the help of a sympathetic chimpanzee activist named Ari and a small band of human rebels, Leo leads the effort to evade the advancing Gorilla Army led by General Thade and his most trusted warrior Attar. Now the race is on to reach a sacred temple within the planet's Forbidden Zone to discover the shocking secrets of mankind's past - and the key to its future. Written by Tim1370

Trivia
Tim Burton himself insisted that this movie was not a 'remake', but a 'reimagination' of Planet of the Apes; it uses the idea of an ape-inhabited planet from the same source material as the 1968 movie, but ultimately tells a very different story. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The monkey in the pod that is launched at the beginning is shown in a full spacesuit except he is not wearing any gloves. See more »Quotes
