In this rewrite of the 2001 remake of Planet of the Apes, it's been 20 years since George Taylor perished by the stinking paws of General Ursus. And since then, the ape civilization has entered a Romanesque era, now even keeping humans as slaves. But one day, a descendant of Taylor named Duke discovers his true heritage, and sets off on a journey to rally his fellow humans to free their species from those damn dirty apes!
