16: Facing External Conflicts Head-On (RISE & DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES)

Nature
Written By Derrick Hatch

Humanity sure is complicated! And that's exactly what the PLANET OF THE APES prequel trilogy wrestles with, as apes gain consciousness and human-like qualities. We navigate the different kinds of conflict depicted in these films (particularly in RISE & DAWN), and how as good science fiction, these stories help us think through what it means to be human in our world today. 

  • Introduction (0:00)

  • Stories and the Human Experience (2:06)

  • RISE: Us vs. Nature (4:09)

  • DAWN: Us vs. Them (18:11)

  • Conclusion (39:57)

Stay up to date with our movie club, and see which films we'll cover in the future.
