Description WARNING: SPOILERS

Will Rodman (James Franco) is working on a cure for Alzheimer's by performing tests on apes for a pharmaceutical company in the San Francisco bay area. One of the first test subjects is Caesar's mother, Bright Eyes, who is captured in Africa at the beginning of the film (also depicted in an online comic strip shortly before the movie's release).[6] Rodman's "cure" genetically increases Bright Eyes' intelligence, and this is passed on to Caesar in the womb. After Bright Eyes is killed trying to protect her newly-born child (an action mistaken by lab security as her having run amok), all other test apes are ordered destroyed; however the sympathetic ape handler rescues Caesar and gives him to Will, who smuggles the baby chimp out of the lab and takes him to his home. Caesar spends years living with Rodman and his father from his time as an infant, showing intelligence that far surpasses humans at his age. Human authority continues to test him and contain him, and after an incident where he attacks a man assaulting Will's father, he is eventually taken and forced into an ape "sanctuary" where he is often tormented by the caretakers. He eventually proves smart enough to break free from his cage, steal Will's new version of the intelligence-enhancing formula and release it among the other captive apes. They escape the sanctuary and are joined by other captive apes from the zoo, rallying to escape San Francisco, violently clashing with police. Like his appearance in the fourth and fifth films, however, Caesar is shown to be compassionate, forbidding his followers from killing innocent humans and those who don't seek to harm them. This clashes with the mindset of another ape, Koba, who is shown to be somewhat maniacal in his resistance. At the film's conclusion, the apes escape to the wild outside the city, with Rodman and Caesar sharing an emotional farewell as Caesar is happy to be among his own kind. Meanwhile, due to the careless attitude of executives at the pharmaceutical company, the "cure" is shown to be deadly to humans and begins spreading among the population. Eventually killing off all the humans.Thus resulting in the apes taking over. In the ending credits a scene is shown with a line, representing a plane, which was being piloted by someone who caught the cure. The plane is seen travelling across the world, and as it stops, more yellow lines and dots appear, showing that the cure has spread, after a minute it shows that the yellow dots/lines form the earth's land, implying how far the cure spread in a couple of days. The plane that the pilot was using went to New York City, the Forbidden Zone in the original Planet of the Apes film.

Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.
