The
fifth and final episode in the Planet of the Apes series. After the
collapse of human civilization, a community of intelligent apes lives in
harmony with a group of humans, but a community of mutants who reside
beneath a destroyed city try to conquer those whom they perceive as
enemies. Footage from the previous installments is effective in
providing background information as flashbacks in an attempt to bring
the series to a logical finish. A later television series attempted to
rekindle original plotlines with newer ones.
