Handlung
Als das Raumschiff des verschollenen Astronauten Taylor nach zwei Jahren wieder auf der Erde landet, ist die Freude zunächst groß. Noch größer ist aber das Erstaunen, als die Menschen feststellen, daß sich Affen in den Helmen und Anzügen befinden. Der beste Platz für Cornelius, Dr. Zira und Dr. Milo ist scheinbar der Zoo, wo sie sich auch freiwillig hintransportieren lassen. Doch für die intelligenten Affen vom anderen Stern ist es eine Gefahr, zusammen mit wilden Affen von der Erde in einem Käfig eingesperrt zu werden.
