This ape waves at a keeper. The keeper thinks the ape wants some beer, but suddenly the ape grabs him. Luckily, another keeper arrives in time.
00:07
Speaker A
But the reason the ape does this is to steal the keeper's knife. Then the ape uses the small knife to successfully open the door of his cage, but he does not escape. Instead, he goes to open the cage of a huge gorilla. Just like that,
00:18
Speaker A
he successfully sets the gorilla free. Then he also releases the bully ape that often picks on him. The bully ape wants to fight back, but when he sees the huge gorilla behind Caesar, he becomes scared. In the end, he chooses
00:29
Speaker A
to follow Caesar. The next day, Caesar's owner Will comes to take him home. Caesar is about to stand up when he sees the loop that is going to be put around his neck. So he closes the cage

door and refuses to leave. That night, Caesar and the bully ape hand out cookies to all the other apes. Everyone is very happy. The next day, an orangutan curiously asks Caesar why he gave everyone cookies. Caesar tells him
00:49
Speaker A
that one branch is easy to break, but a bundle of branches is much harder to break. The orangutan says the apes are all too stupid. Even if they work together, it will not help. So Caesar decides to make all the apes smarter. He
01:01
Speaker A
secretly remembers the code for the cage door. That night, Caesar enters the code and sneaks out. He returns to Will's house and steals the new drug. The drug can kill humans, but it can make apes smarter. Caesar punctures the container
01:13
Speaker A
and lets all the apes inhale the drug. The next day, the apes have thoughts of their own. They also become more disciplined. A keeper sees this and rushes into the apes' area with an electric baton. He desperately wants to
01:23
Speaker A
punish Caesar for disobeying him, but Caesar easily blocks his attack. Then he suddenly shouts, "Ah!" This terrifies the keeper. It also shocks all the other apes. After that, Caesar opens all the cage doors. He leads the apes out through the roof.
01:37
Speaker A
Their destination is the forest on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge, but when they rush toward the bridge, the police are already waiting on the other side. They have received orders to shoot as soon as they
01:46
Speaker A
see the apes. Seeing this, Caesar sends one group of apes onto the cables above the bridge. He sends another group forward along the steel structure under the bridge. Then, a group of apes pushes a bus forward. At Caesar's command, all

Speaker A
the apes begin to attack. The police have almost no chance to fight back. Suddenly, a helicopter appears. The gunner on board starts firing at the apes. Caesar grabs a chain and swings it hard at the helicopter, but a guy pulls
02:09
Speaker A
out a gun and shoots at Caesar. The gorilla pushes Caesar out of the way.
02:13
Speaker A
Then he charges forward and jumps high into the air. He lands on the helicopter. At the cost of his own life, he completely destroys it. Before he dies, he tells Caesar, "Take them home." Caesar keeps his promise. He leads all

the apes back to the forest.
