Escape from the Planet of the Apes
Don Taylor directed this third film in the original Apes series and screenwriter Paul Dehn concocted the imaginative storyline. Roddy McDowell and Kim Hunter return as simian sweethearts Cornelius and Zira who survive the earth’s destruction but are thrown back in time to 1973—all the better to score satirical points about the Me Decade and celebrity culture. The humans are well-represented by Bradford Dillman and Ricardo Montalbán and the supporting cast is peppered with familiar genre actors including Harry Lauter and Jason Evers from The Brain that Wouldn’t Die.
