Premium Planet of the Apes Trilogy [Blu-ray]

The sci-fi action drama trilogy is based on the 1970s 'Planet of the Apes' film series. In the first installment, 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' (2011), Will Rodman (James Franco) is a genetic engineer working in present-day San Francisco, conducting scientific tests on apes in an attempt to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease. His first test subject is Caesar (Andy Serkis), the prototype of a new breed of ape with human-like intelligence. However, when Caesar breaks free, a revolution is triggered, and an epic war for supremacy erupts between humankind and the primates of the world.

In the sequel, 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' (2014), Caesar has now become the leader of a growing band of cognizant simians. He starts the process towards a truce between the apes and the humans. Many consider the outbreak of war to be only a matter of time, though, as the human population has been vastly reduced by a devastating virus, and their role as the dominant species on Earth is in question. As the tension increases, it may only take a single spark to trigger an explosive war that will pit the humans against the apes in an all-out battle for survival.

Finally, in the third installment, 'War for the Planet of the Apes' (2017), Caesar finds himself and his kind trapped in a war with the humans, led by the ruthless Colonel McCullogh (Woody Harrelson). Although Caesar is adamant that apes are not savages, when a large number of his kind lose their lives at the hands of the humans, he channels his dark side and vows to get revenge for every ape life lost. This sets the stage for an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet.

In the climactic 'War for the Planet of the Apes,' Caesar (Andy Serkis) and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by the Colonel (Woody Harrelson). After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and resolves to avenge his kind, pitting him against the Colonel in a battle that will decide the fate of both their species and the future of the planet.
