				Why watch this? ... 
				it's 
				a welcome return to the planet of simian madness. 
				Plot Summary: A 
				second astronaut, Brent, is sent on a rescue mission to find the 
				missing astronaut Taylor. Brent crash-lands on the same planet 
				ruled by intelligent apes. In his search for Taylor, Brent 
				discovers a hidden society of telepathic humans living 
				underground. A conflict arises between the apes and the 
				telepathic humans, placing Brent in the middle of a struggle for 
				survival Dad's Preview: 
				The original 
				Planet of the Apes 
				(1968) was a film 
				landmark. This sequel is equally compelling, though a 
				little too far-fetched. Like Taylor before him, Brent eventually discovers the planet's truth. 
				It is some great, satirical sci-fi that the underground 
				cult of mutated humans worship the almighty H-Bomb. 
				There is a familiar weirdness at play, and it's enjoyable... 
				right up to the film's grim and bloody end!
