Review Summary
The social commentary is only the backdrop of one man's survival story. This movie has one of the best ending in motion picture history.
Gwen S., Resident Scholar

The Mother Of Them All! Astronauts land on strange world where humans are the slaves of apes. Inventive sci/fi epic (co scripted by Twilight Zone creator, Rod Serling), with a historic and unforgettable ending. A true classic. Followed by 4 sequels.
