This behemoth box set features all five PLANET OF THE APES movies, beginning with the 1968 original in which a group of astronauts find themselves stranded on a world where apes evolved from humans. Spaceman Charlton Heston is nonplussed--none too pleased, even--to learn the shocking surprise about humanity's future. The series continues with BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES, ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES, CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, and BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES, each of which offers a combination of smart, satirical writing, sci-fi adventure, and endless ape action. Included among the copious deluxe supplements are vintage behind-the-scenes footage, make-up tests, commentaries, featurettes, a 1967 N.A.T.O presentation, the feature-length documentary BEHIND THE PLANET OF THE APES hosted by Roddy McDowell, and much more. See individual titles for more information.

Distributor Notes: The compelling and classic 1968 Planet Of The Apes stars Oscar-winner® Charlton Heston (Ben-Hur, 1960) as an astronaut who crash lands on a planet ruled by apes who use a primitive race of humans for experimentation and sport. Beneath The Planet Of The Apes tells the story of a daring rescue mission that leads to a subterranean city where mutant humans worship a weapon capable of destroying the entire planet. In Escape From The Planet Of The Apes, two futuristic simians who have traveled to present-day Earth enjoy celebrity status - until a government plot forces them to run for their lives! In Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes, apes have been domesticated and trained as pets and personal servants - until their continual mistreatment leads to a spectacular revolt. In the final Apes chapter, Battle For The Planet Of The Apes, an idyllic society of man and ape is threatened by both a militant gorilla and a tribe of still-intelligent mutant humans.
