Product Information
Before you see the movie, read the original novel! First published more than thirty-five years ago, Pierre Boulle's chilling novel launched one of the greatest science fiction sagas in motion picture history, from the classic 1968 movie starring Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowell, through four sequels and two television series . . . and now the newest film adaptation directed by Tim Burton. In the not-too-distant future, three astronauts land on what appears to be a planet just like Earth, with lush forests, a temperate climate, and breathable air. But while it appears to be a paradise, nothing is what it seems. They soon discover the terrifying truth: On this world humans are savage beasts, and apes rule as their civilized masters. In an ironic novel of nonstop action and breathless intrigue, one man struggles to unlock the secret of a terrifying civilization, all the while wondering: Will he become the savior of the human race, or the final witness to its damnation? In a shocking climax that rivals that of the original movie, Boulle delivers the answer in a masterpiece of adventure, satire, and suspense.Product Identifiers

Amazing how different the original story is!
Amazing how different the first movie differs from the original ONE and only novel. Then it just hits the stratosphere with multiple sequels and now it's being reboot into new movies (two so far) with a third on the way; which differs greatly from the original series of movies. Hollywood did the same with the original Logan's Run novel. There were three Logan's Run novels but only one movie was made and it differs greatly from the novel. Unfortunately; no movie remakes of Logan's Run were ever made. But there was a television series based on the movies; just like Planet Of The Apes had a television series. I guess people were more crazy about a society of talking human like apes; than they were about a futuristic dome city society that ended their lives at the age of 30 years.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
