In this 1968 science-fiction film, a space mission ends in disaster when a group of astronauts crash-land on a distant, unfamiliar world. What initially appears to be a barren planet soon reveals a rigidly ordered society where intelligent apes dominate and primitive humans are treated as lesser beings. As the lone surviving astronaut struggles to survive captivity, he encounters complex social rules, scientific inquiry, and religious authority that challenge his assumptions about civilization. The film explores survival and power dynamics without revealing the full nature of the world he has entered.
