Plot
Tim Burton's big budget "reimagining" of the original 1967 SF classic. In the year 2029, intersteller reconnaissance missions are relegated to chimpanzee pilots from the Space Station Oberon in deep space. On such a mission, a chimp loses communication and vanishes from the radar. Fearless astronaut Leo Davidson (Mark Wahlberg) launches a rescue mission and, following a malfunction, lands on a jungle-like planet not unlike Earth. To Leo's astonishment, English-speaking apes and primitive humans inhabit the planet. Following his capture by the apes and subsequent escape, Leo assembles a band of defiant humans and empathetic apes in an attempt to re-establish contact with Oberon, but his focus changes following an unexpected discovery. Armed with his new information, Leo leads a rebellion against an overpowering ape force that will result in freedom or complete annihilation.
