| The
third Planet of the Apes film amazingly takes
place after the Earth was destroyed by a nuclear
missile in the second movie.This movie begins
with three ape-o-nauts traveling back in time and
arriving in the United States in the later part
of the 20th century. This seemed to be the only
story premise that would save the valuable Planet
of the Apes franchise since the Earth was
actually destroyed in Beneath the Planet o the
Apes. Corneilus
and Zira as well as a third chimpanzee are the
three ape astronauts. They are at first treated
like royalty by popular culture and society. They
can talk and walk and it is a cool novelty for
people at first. As they tell the story of their
origin it soon becomes apparent to the United
States government that their existance would pose
a continual threat to humanity. When Zira the
female chimp is discovered to be pregnant the
President of the United States orders an
immediate abortion as well as sterlization for
Zira. This order was to combat the possibilty
that Apes may rule man in the future
.If these apes
would just live and die off quietly the problem
would seem to be solved. Cornelius and Zira
resist however and ultimately are killed. They do
have an offspring and this offspring is kept in
secret by a human named Armando. This ape child
is to become Ceasar the leader of the Great Ape
revolution in the coming future.
