How it all began

To say that Caesar and his apes have been through a lot is something of an understatement. Torn from the jungle in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Caesar learned first hand the remarkable scope for both kindness and cruelty at the hands of his human captors. As one civilisation began to fall apart, the young ape lost both his original and adoptive families only to fight for the creation of a new one.

Then, there was the dawn

There was a glimmer of hope in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes that the survivors of the old world, both ape and human, could coexist and even help one another survive. That hope was extinguished from within Caesar's own ranks thanks to the human-hating Koba. Ultimately Caesar was victorious, but knew that war was coming as rumours of new human military might surfaced.

So, what’s next?

If you hoped our hero had earned a little respite then prepare to have those hopes dashed as we introduce you to the new human menace in the form of the Colonel:

We’re not worried so much whose side you’re going to be on this time out, but there are real stakes to keep you on the edge of your seat as the third movie in the franchise unfolds on an unprecedented scale. “Bold”, “phenomenal” and “with gravitas and real depth”, War for the Planet of the Apes is getting reviews that summer blockbusters never get. Don’t miss this spectacular conclusion on the big screen.
