Plot summary
Interviews and archive material cover the five films of the original Planet of the Apes series, made to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the first. The account opens with the French novel that drew a producer's interest and his work to bring it to a studio. Each film's making follows, with how the casts were chosen, the costumes designed and the locations shot. A live-action series and an animated one for children also belong to the history. Home movies from the sets and early makeup tests fill out the story.
