The Big Picture Few movie endings are as ingrained in our collective consciousness as the final moments of Planet of the Apes. Well, of Franklin J. Schaffner’s 1968 Planet of the Apes, not the Tim Burton film. That final scene in which Taylor and Nova are riding across a beach until they reach a pile of corroded metal and stone that is then revealed to be a partly sand-covered Statue of Liberty is one of the most remembered and parodied movie sequences in history.

Schaffner Cast Charlton Heston , Roddy McDowall , Kim Hunter , Maurice Evans Runtime 112 Minutes Main Genre Sci-Fi Writers Michael Wilson , Rod Serling , Pierre Boulle What Is ‘Planet of the Apes’ About? Is that a good thing, though? Is a more chipper ending always the best option? Well, not really, particularly when it comes to a movie like Planet of the Apes, a commentary on humanity, racism, religious fanaticism, and the limits of science.
Face to face with this evidence, Zaius is forced to admit that he had always known that there used to be an advanced human society on their planet, but that said humans were evil and basically killed each other, as well as other species, for sport. He tells his guards to destroy the cave and announces that Zira and Cornelius will still be tried for heresy, but allows Taylor to go ahead on his journey, alerting him to the fact that he may not like what he will find.
