Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes on Disney+



The world's fate is at stake when the stunning new entry into the Planet of the Apes franchise makes its streaming debut on Disney+.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes has thrilled audiences worldwide, becoming one of the biggest global box office successes of the year and marking the beginning of a new era for the epic Planet of the Apes franchise.

Director Wes Ball breathes new life into the global, epic franchise with this action-adventure spectacle from 20th Century Studios. Set several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign, apes are living harmoniously as the dominant species — and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.

Before Star Wars hit the big screen, I vividly remember watching the Planet of the Apes television series and playing with Mego action figures. My parents took me to a local county show that featured a special appearance by the characters from the series.

Later, I discovered the original movies when they were repeated on television. Composer Jerry Goldsmith's innovative soundtrack for the Planet of the Apes remains a touchstone and its influence can be heard in his later scores including Alien.

In addition, Disney+ is currently streaming all nine prior films in the Planet of the Apes franchise: Planet of the Apes (1968), Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970), Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971), Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972), Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973), Planet of the Apes (2001), Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011), Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) and War for the Planet of the Apes (2017).

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes streams on Disney+ on 2nd August.
