Astronaut Brent (James Franciscus) crash lands on a strange planet in search of the crew that disappeared on an earlier mission. He discovers that not only have thousands of years passed but that he is on a planet ruled by apes. Bad, right? Things get even worse when he discovers a subterranean group of creepy mutant humans (spoiler: he’s on Earth) who worship a nuclear missile capable of wiping out what’s left. Can he and Taylor (Charlton Heston) stop them? A strange, dark, and campy cult classic. (95 mins., 4K DCP)
