Planet of the Apes
is a 1968 American
science fiction film
directed by
Franklin J. Schaffner
and loosely based on the 1963 French novel
La Planète des Singes
by
Pierre Boulle
. Written by
Michael Wilson
and
Rod Serling
, it stars
Charlton Heston
,
Roddy McDowall
,
Kim Hunter
,
Maurice Evans
,
James Whitmore
,
James Daly
and
Linda Harrison
. In the film, an astronaut crew
crash-lands
on a strange planet in the distant future. Although the planet appears desolate at first, the surviving crew members stumble upon a society in which apes have evolved into creatures with human-like intelligence and speech. The apes have assumed the role of the
dominant species
and humans are mute creatures wearing animal skins.
The outline of
Planet of the Apes
originated in script, originally written by Serling, underwent many rewrites before filming eventually began.

Directors
J. Lee Thompson
and
Blake Edwards
were approached, but the film's producer Arthur P. Jacobs, upon the recommendation of Charlton Heston, chose Franklin J. Schaffner to direct the film. Schaffner's changes included an ape society less advanced—and therefore less expensive to depict—than that of the original novel.

California
,
Utah
and
Arizona
, with desert sequences shot in and around
Lake Powell
