This fourth instalment in the newly rebooted franchise has a brand new cast of characters with a timeline that has moved several decades ahead. The modern world is in ruins, reclaimed by nature, and the intelligent talking apes are now the dominant species, living in clans and tribes scattered across the new world.

The theme though remains the same - ‘Ape. Together Strong.’ It’s been carried through several sequels and this one too has an obligatory reference to the prophetic words signed off by Andy Serkis’ Caesar in 2011’s hit prequel ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes.’
