In an effort to find the missing astronaut Taylor, Brent goes on a rescue mission to the planet of the apes. Using the information he receives from the ape village that Taylor escaped from, Brent locates him in an underground fortress in the forbidden zone guarded by telepathic humans.
Astronaut Brent is sent to rescue Taylor but crash lands on the Planet of the Apes, just like Taylor did in the original film. Taylor has disappeared into the Forbidden Zone so Brent and Nova try to follow and find him. He discovers a cult of humans that fear the Apes' latest military movements and finds himself in the middle. Tension mounts to a climactic battle between ape and man deep in the bowels of the planet. Sequel to "Planet of the Apes." Film 2 of the series of 5
This is THE best out of the entire Planet of the Apes series (although the first one was not too far behind this one) and had a very powerful message about the rediculous and often tragic result of religion claiming to be peaceful and even preach "love your brother" yet give no second thought to slaughtering their fellow man, even MEMBERS OF THEIR OWN FAITH!!, on the battlefield!! (This is one of the reasons why I belong to the faith I do today, the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, because they aren't involved in warfare.) People have bemoaned this movie because of the flaws that existed. Okay, there were a few flaws, however they seemed to be nicely glossed over with a powerful theme-- a message that is even more pertenant today than it was thirty years ago when this movie came out.
Beneath The Planet of the Apes (1970) belongs in that list of sequels that could have been as good or even better than the original film. The first sequel to Planet of the Apes (1968) has two strikes against it. The film had only half the budget of the original film and Charlton Heston has a supporting part, while the screenplay was clearly written with his character as the lead. In those days a star did not do sequels, but apparently he was grateful for the success of Planet of the Apes that he did a cameo and donated his salary to charity. Heston became a science fiction icon and would go on in the seventies starring in the SF classics The Omega Man (1971) and Soylent Green (1973). The writers Paul Dehn and Mort Abrahams and director Ted Post took Beneath The Planet of the Apes serious enough and did excellent work despite these limitations. A couple of years later Ted Post would direct another sequel: Magnum Force (1973). The first Dirty Harry sequel which could also be rated as a sequel almost as good as the original. The first 30 minutes of Beneath The Planet of the Apes is a quick rerun of the plot of the original film, but when the lead characters get underground (hence the title), we get a first rate science fiction parable. The underground ruins of New York city are inhabited by mutated humans with psychic powers and worship an atom bomb as a God. This story line does make the ape race secondary characters in the second half. The ending is very nihilistic and seems like a very definitive ending to the series. But because of success at the box office and the ingenuity of the writers, we got three more sequels/prequels. All of them are very enjoyable, but nowhere near as powerful as this first underrated sequel.
The original Planet of the Apes is a hard act to follow, and Beneath the Planet of the Apes isn’t really up to the challenge.
Following the trajectory made by Taylor's spaceship, another astronaut named Brent (<a href="/name/nm0002082/">James Franciscus</a>) crashlands on the planet of the apes in the year 3955AD and goes in search of Taylor (<a href="/name/nm0000032/">Charlton Heston</a>), who has gone missing in the Forbidden Zone. While trying to escape from a band of gorilla soldiers led by the war hungry Ursus (<a href="/name/nm0339834/">James Gregory</a>), Brent and Nova (<a href="/name/nm0365709/">Linda Harrison</a>) stumble upon a subterranean fortress where a cult of humans are hiding. Meanwhile, the gorilla army has decided to invade the Forbidden Zone and kill all remaining humans, because "the only good human is a dead human!" Beneath the Planet of the Apes is a sequel to <a href="/title/tt0063442/">Planet of the Apes (1968)</a> (1968), which was based on the 1963 novel La Planète des Singes by French writer Pierre Boulle. The screenplay for Beneath the Planet of the Apes is credited to Paul Dehn and Mort Abrahams. A novelization of the film by American writer Michael Avallone was released in 1970. Beneath the Planet of the Apes was followed by three more sequels: <a href="/title/tt0067065/">Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971)</a> (1971), <a href="/title/tt0068408/">Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972)</a> (1972), and <a href="/title/tt0069768/">Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973)</a> (1973). Besides Taylor and Nova, chimpanzees Zira (<a href="/name/nm0001375/">Kim Hunter</a>) and Cornelius (<a href="/name/nm0914569/">David Watson</a>) put in an appearance as does orangutan Dr Zaius (<a href="/name/nm0263052/">Maurice Evans</a>). The gorilla army discovers the subterranean passage and descends upon the city of mutant humans, clubbing or gunning down everyone who gets in the way. Still confined in their cell, Brent, Taylor, and Nova hear the gunfire and break out. While sneaking down the corridor, they come face-to-face with a gorilla, whom they are able to kill but not before he guns down Nova. Brent and Taylor make their way to the cathedral where Zaius and the gorilla army are confronted by Mendez (<a href="/name/nm0724268/">Paul Richards</a>), who introduces them to his God...the doomsday bomb. He activates the bomb but is unable to hit the detonator before being gunned down. Ursus orders his gorillas to pull down the bomb with rope, block, and tackle, and the bomb begins to emit steam. Brent detracts Ursus when he goes to hit the detonator in an attempt to stop the steam. Zaius notices Taylor hiding behind a pillar, and Ursus shoots him. Brent then shoots Ursus. Crawling toward the detonator, Taylor asks for Zaius' help, but Zaius refuses. "Man is evil...capable of nothing but destruction," he charges. Brent picks up a gun and shoots down a few gorillas but is ultimately shot dead by them. In the final scene, Taylor reaches for the detonator and pushes it. The screen goes white, and a voiceover says: In one of the countless billions of galaxies in the universe lies a medium-sized star. And one of its satellites, a green and insignificant planet, is now dead. a5c7b9f00b
