Rise of the Planet of the Apes Movie Synopsis

Will Rodman (James Franco), a scientist at Gen-Sys, is trying to find a cure for Alzheimer's. When a baby chimp at the lab is orphaned, he takes him home and raises him, but this single act of both compassion and arrogance leads to a war unlike any other—and to the RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES.

  good movie with action and a look at what happens when a caged animal's intelligence is enhanced. you don't have to have watched the old planet of the apes movie to enjoy it.

  This movie is garbage, anyone who states otherwise is of the same simple minded demographic that justifies the production of such horrible modern films

  very enjoyable!!!
