lety Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 In a nutshell, the story follows Oscar nominee James Franco (127 Hours) as a decent, dedicated San Francisco-based genetic scientist named Will Rodman. His father (John Lithgow) suffers from Alzheimer's and Will's research is focused on finding a cure for that debilitating disease. After five years of working on it, Will believes he's come up with a revolutionary new drug which will repair brain tissue and thus restore the cognitive thought process of Alzheimer's patients. Testing the drug out involves the use of chimps, and when one displays significant intellectual improvements, the company believes Will has created a miracle drug. However, when the chimp - nicknamed Bright Eyes due to the new green streaks which appear in her irises after the drug's been injected - is in the process of being prepared to be introduced to the company's financial backers, she goes...well...ape, lashing out at whoever gets in her way, breaking through glass, until ultimately a security guard is forced to shoot her. Will's boss calls for the immediate cessation of the experiments and for all the remaining chimps to be euthanized. While going about that heartbreaking task, the animal's chief handler at the drug company, Robert (Tyler Labine), discovers Bright Eyes was not in fact acting out of rage but was simply trying to protect her new baby which she'd hidden under a bench in her cage. Robert's had enough of putting chimps to sleep and leaves the baby in Will's care to either euthanize or take home.Will chooses to take Caesar home, at first believing this is a temporary situation. But as he and his father bond with the baby chimp, Caesar shows signs of extraordinary intelligence - and has those same green streaks in this eyes as did his now-deceased mother. In the years that follow, Will teaches Caesar how to communicate through sign language, and with each passing year, Caesar's level of intelligence dramatically increases. But after a disturbing episode involving one of Will's neighbors, Caesar's forced out of the only home he's ever known and into an ape sanctuary run by cruel humans (Brian Cox and Tom Felton) and populated by apes who recognize his difference and mistreat him because of it. However, Caesar's not down for the count long as he uses his astonishing brain power to devise a plan to unite his fellow apes in a revolt against their human captors.
