"Rise of the Apes" explores the conflict between human civilization and technological evolution with profound and simple stories.
The background of the story is set in modern San Francisco. Genetic scientist Will Rodman (James Frank) has developed a drug to treat human neuroatrophy diseases. The drug can treat diseases such as Alzheimer’s. The new drug is in When experimenting on chimpanzees, people found that it can greatly improve their intelligence, the symptom eyes turned green, and intelligence reached human level. After the successful test gave birth to a baby orangutan, the chimpanzee attacked the staff in order to protect its offspring. Was shot. Afterwards, the institute was forced to euthanize all the remaining chimpanzees, and the research project was forced to stop. In order to save the newborn baby orangutan, Will adopted him and named him Caesar (played by Andy Serkis). During the process of feeding Caesar, Will Rodman met the zoologist Kay because of the treatment of the orangutan's injury. Lorraine (Freida Pinto) and fell in love.
Because Caesar inherited his mother's genes, he had a high level of wisdom since he was a child, and the Will family have been living happily ever since. After seeing the effect of Caesar’s experiment, Will injected the same medicine to his Alzheimer’s father, miraculously restored brain function, but a few years later Will discovered that the human body had antibodies to this virus medicine. Will’s The father's condition deteriorated. Will showed the results of the drugs to his superiors, demanded experiments with more violent viruses, and succeeded in the orangutan experiments, Will brought the drugs home. After accidentally wounding a human, Caesar was forced to separate from Will and was sent to a nursing home. There he was treated mercilessly, and then began to become hostile to humans. Caesar, with high intelligence, escaped the detention center smoothly. After returning to Will's home, he stole the medicine, took it back to the detention center for other chimpanzees to use, and began to lead them, and finally led the other orangutans to escape from the detention center. At this time, it has been proved that this medicine is a deadly virus to humans, but it is harmless to orangutans and can greatly improve their intelligence. The virus has begun to spread, the situation is reversing, and a war that has to be opposed to humans is about to begin.
