Wes Ball directs Owen Teague, Freya Allan and Kevin Durand in this sci-fi adventure where a teen chimp has to free his peaceful tribe from enslavement while protecting a mysterious human who may unlock both the past and the future.

Refreshes one of the most satisfying franchises out there with a simple but often astounding quest. The unfussy plot leaves bags of room for risky set pieces, muscular characterisation and believable world building. Stand-out villainy from Durand’s tyrant bonobo. Caesar is dead, long live Caesar!
