Description by OLDIES.com:

This film is the third entry in one of the most gripping sci-fi film series ever made! Refugees from a future in which their race rules the planet, Zira (Kim Hunter) and Cornelius (Roddy McDowall) find themselves celebrated as talking apes - and then hunted down as an evolutionary threat - in twentieth century America.

Product Description:

This third installment in the PLANET OF THE APES series finds Cornelius and Zira in modern-day Los Angeles. They have traveled back in time, but soon find that they have enemies in the past as well as the present. This is thought by many to be the best of the sequels. Followed by CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES.

Plot Synopsis:

In the future, the Earth is ruled by a race of highly-evolved simians who supplanted humans after a nuclear holocaust. But when the ape-led Earth is threatened with total annihilation, a trio of scientists journey backwards through time in order to prevent the catastrophe. Once in the human-led world, however, they find themselves hunted by a suspicious and fearful government desirous of making them the subjects of an experiment that could alter the course of human and ape events.
