| Synopsis
Taylor and two other astronauts come out
of deep hibernation to find that their ship
has crashed. Escaping with little more than
clothes they find that they have landed
on a planet where men are pre-lingual and
uncivilized while apes have learned speech
and technology. Taylor is captured and taken
to the city of the apes after damaging his
throat so that he is silent and cannot communicate
with the apes. |
