DESCRIPTION
After their spacecraft travels through a time warp, two astronauts Ron Harper, James Naughton from 1981 crash-land back on Earth in the year 3085 - a time when intelligent apes rule and humans have been reduced to servants or pets. Captured by the apes and sentenced to death, they are saved by a curious chimpanzee name Galen Roddy McDowall. But now all three are on the run, trying to keep one step ahead of the gorilla army led by General Urko Mark Lenard, who is determined to kill the renegades.
Those immersed in the Planet of the Apes universe will go bananas for this DVD-only boxed set containing all 14 episodes of this obscure 1974 TV series based on the 1968 sci-fi classic. Ron Harper and James Naughton star as two astronauts who crash-land on the simian-ruled planet. Roddy McDowall Cornelius in the Apes films is Emmy-worthy as "renegade ape" Galen, who befriends them and helps them elude capture by the relentless General Urko. At its best, this series presented thoughtful stories in which the fugitives bridged the human-ape gap "The Deception". Of special interest is the episode "The Liberators," which was never broadcast during the series' fleeting run. Notable guest stars include Marc "Beastmaster" Singer "The Gladiators", Roscoe Lee Browne "Tomorrow's Tide", Sondra Locke "The Cure", and a pre-Bad News Bears Jackie Earle Haley "The Legacy". --Donald Liebenson
