Intelligent apes escape from San Francisco.

It's badly marred by the persistence of James Franco's character, staying prominent in the movie long after he no longer serves a purpose. But that's not such a big deal, since the movie is otherwise completely awesome.

Big budget sci-fi action based on the original film series of the late 1960s and early 1970s. James Franco stars as Will Rodman, a genetic engineer working in present-day San Francisco who is performing scientific tests on apes in his attempt to find a cure for Alzheimer's. His first test subject is Caesar (Andy Serkis), the prototype of a new breed of apes with human-like intelligence. But when Caesar breaks free, a revolution is triggered and an epic war for supremacy breaks out between humankind and the primates of the world.
