The film gives a story of an astronaut crew that crash lands on an unusual and unexpected planet in the far-away future. In the beginning, the planet appears empty, but the remaining crew members come across a society, where apes have evolved. The apes have become creatures that have human - like intelligence as well as speech. In the planet the apes are the dominant species, while humans are mute creatures that wear animal skin.
Taylor, an astronaut, comes out of deep hibernation with the two others only to find that their spaceship had crashed. Taylor is then taken as a prisoner and moved to the city of the apes. This is after his thought is damaged, in an effort to make him silent, so that he cannot communicate with the apes.
