What's the main plot of 'Kingdom of the Planet of Apes'?
Set three centuries after Caesar's revolution, ape societies have flourished while humans have devolved into feral beings. Proximus Caesar, a tyrannical ape king, harnesses weaponry from forgotten human technology and distorts Caesar's legacy to subjugate other ape clans.
Noa, a chimpanzee hunter, witnesses his clan captured. Driven by a resolve to fight for freedom, he allies with Mae, a young human girl. Together, this unlikely duo embarks on a perilous quest.
Their journey will not only decide the fate of their captured clan but also determine the future for both apes and the remnants of humanity.
The official synopsis reads, "Director Wes Ball breathes new life into the global, epic franchise set several generations in the future following Caesar's reign, in which apes are the dominant species living harmoniously and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows."
The synopsis further reads, "As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike."
