Planet of the Apes is an American science fiction media franchise about a world in which humans and intelligent apes clash for control.

Its 1968 film adaptation, Planet of the Apes, was a critical and commercial hit, initiating a series of sequels, tie-ins, and derivative works. Four sequels followed the original film: Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970), Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971), Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972), and Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973).

Heston returned for the second film, as well as Hunter, while McDowall was replaced by David Watson. Both McDowall and Hunter reprised their respective roles in Escape from the Planet of the Apes, while McDowall starred as a different character, Caesar, in the fourth and fifth films. A remake was released in 2001, starring Mark Wahlberg as Leo Davidson, with Tim Roth as General Thade and Helena Bonham Carter as Ari.
