Battle for the Planet of the Apes is a 1973 science fiction film directed by J. Lee Thompson and starring Roddy McDowall, Claude Akins, Natalie Trundy, Severn Darden, Lew Ayres, Paul Williams and John Huston. It is the fifth and final entry in the original Planet of the Apes series. In this Planet of the Apes film, a group of the surviving humans in a post-nuclear society, scarred and mutated by radiation, clash with the apes while the peace-loving ape leader, Ceasar must deal with an attempted coup by war mongering gorilla general Aldo. The story is told as a flashback with a wraparound sequence narrated by the orangutan Lawgiver. The 2014 film, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, has a similar premise.
