Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

ActionAdventureDramaSci-FiThriller130 min

Ten years after a plague devastates humanity, Caesar (Andy Serkis) leads a thriving colony of intelligent apes in the woods outside San Francisco, trying to keep order as his community grows. When a small band of human survivors reaches ape territory in search of a working dam, first contact opens a narrow chance at cooperation and a wider path to conflict. Jason Clarke is part of the human group struggling to stay alive, while Caesar faces pressure from both sides as fear, mistrust, and a challenge to his leadership push the two communities toward war.
