Beneath The Planet Of The Apes

1 9 7 0 (USA)

Beneath The Planet Of The Apes opens where the original Planet Of The Apes movie closed. We find that not one but two spacecraft have actually landed on the planet. The second craft contains our hero, Brent (James Franciscus) - an astronaut launched on a rescue mission in an effort to find the missing astronaut Taylor (Charlton Heston).

Brent finally locates him in an underground fortress in the Forbidden Zone guarded by telepathic mutated humans who worship the ultimate in nuclear destructive power - the Alpha Omega bomb.

At the same time, the apes are suffering a famine and invade the Forbidden Zone in search of food and some understanding of the legendary evils said to lurk there. They and the mutants become locked in deadly combat.

The Alpha Omega bomb is ultimately detonated (by Taylor) and the planet is destroyed.
