Humans and apes are at war, but Caesar still wants to avoid bloodshed. During a scouting mission, Caesar and Maurice find Nova, a young girl whose parents succumbed to the Simian Flu, although Nova herself is immune. Maurice takes her in and brings her back to the ape sanctuary despite Caesar's reluctance. They also find a fugitive chimp from a nearby military camp.
Caesar and his forces intercept a group of soldiers scouting the apes' territory. One of the soldiers, Preacher, asks Caesar to spare his comrades unaware that their capture was planned so their Colonel could track Caesar's precise location. The Colonel and his men attack the sanctuary, Caesar's wife gets killed in the crossfire and several apes are captured and tortured for information.
Caesar and his remaining forces mount a rescue attempt, but are betrayed by several apes who have decided to help the human in exchange for being spared. Caesar ends up being captured and placed in a concentration camp where he's tortured by the Colonel.
Preacher objects to the Colonel's extremism and treats the apes with kindness. He ends up informing Caesar about the base's weaknesses. The Colonel decides to publically execute Caesar and his loyalists, but the drifter chimp sacrifices himself to allow Caesar to escape and retake the base.
A massive battle erupts. Caesar uses grenades to destroy the soldiers' equipment and trigger a massive snowstorm that gives the apes the upper hand. He kills the Colonel in combat and has the surviving humans rounded up. Preacher objects to Caesar doing the very same thing the Colonel did, but Caesar claims that's the nature of war. Caesar then kills some soldiers and enslaves some others, sparing only Preacher and Nova, but exiles them from their land, leaving Preacher to look after Nova. Caesar then takes his throne and declares Earth is now a PLANET OF THE APES. Maurice and Caesar's son Bright Eyes are clearly uncomfortable with Caesar's new attitude.

>Dictator Caesar
Interesting.
Jaxson Martinez
Koba was right.
Owen Wright
Did Koba really die in Dawn?
Owen Morgan
Yes.
Nicholas Ward
>so this is it huh, we finally won a War for the Planet of the Apes
Lucas Hall
When are they going to finally get around to making an actual Planet of the Apes movie instead of these glorified reboots of the dozens of shitty prequel spin-offs of the original Planet of the Apes?
Thomas Ward
Is this code for the race war?
Wyatt Thompson
The astronauts were mentioned in the first. I guess they still have that option.

wut
James Garcia
>apes end up winning because a "good" human betrays the over the top bloodthirsty "evil" human Fuck that sounds bad. Literally everything I hoped they wouldn't do.
Luis Ward
Theres already two of them.
David Watson
Honestly, the prequel stuff was what genuinely needed rebooting. Escape, Conquest, and Battle were all shit
Juan Clark
But when does humanity take back the planet?
Cameron King
Never, we blow it up
Charles Ortiz
So what happened to the human family from the last movie?
Jacob Bailey
Presumably dead like everyone else stupid enough to help the apes
Angel King
I read somewhere that this is the final movie with Caesar as the protag, so a movie that take place in the future is a definite possibility
Christopher Reyes
But did the IDEA of Koba die...?
Jaxson Nelson
This seems real.
Jace Turner
I don't know. Your ending is exactly the same as a much faker spoiler earlier today. I'm not buying it for that reason. I don't think Caesar will go bad. He's a wise leader.
Jonathan Turner
Seriously. What fucking human would choose the end of their race by helping the leader of the Apes? Literally retarded, hope it's not true. It might be.
Parker Campbell
Preacher is a chimp
Chase Lopez
Who honestly watches this and wants the apes to win
Christopher White
liberals
Zachary Rodriguez
Actually, you are super duper wrong...
Escape is pretty much considered by all as the second best film of the original series, right behind the original.
Battle is dogshit but Conquest has it's defenders though most argue that the changes made to the ending were for the best since it made more sense character-wise for Ceaser
Landon Flores

Ryder Phillips
Ceaser has to die and has to die in a coup with the other apes bringing about the Planet of the Apes dictatorship.
That was the original plan for the original series. They pussied out though with the last film due to Conquest being so dark, that they changed it to an ending where the future had been changed to make both human and ape live in harmony.
Parker Fisher
Wait, doesn't the trailer have footage of apes and humans working together to defend the base against an outside human force? Who are they fighting?
Jace Martinez
will they take some notes from true human-monkey toonkino?
Jackson Sanders
I'd rather have sexy ape girls
