With enhanced sound and picture quality, Planet of the Apes comes to video for a whole generation. Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowall star in this legendary science fiction masterpiece.

Astronaut Taylor (Heston) crash lands on a distant planet ruled by apes who use a primitive race of humans for experimentation and sport. Soon Taylor finds himself among the hunted, his life in the hands of a benevolent chimpanzee scientist (McDowall). Winner of an Honorary Academy Aware for outstanding Make-up Achievement and for two Oscars, (1968' Best Costume Design and best original Score) Planet of the Apes is a grand entertainment from its visually arresting beginning to the chilling last moment.
