Posted on by

Twentieth Century FOX Home Entertainment have announced the Planet of the Apes 1968 50th Anniversary edition is coming soon to Blu-ray and DVD, plus it will be available digitally through online retailers and Movies Anywhere.

Charlton Heston stars in the original cinematic masterpiece that turned the world of science fiction upside down. A bewildered astronaut named Taylor (Heston) crash-lands on a strange planet ruled by talking apes who use a primitive race of humans for experimentation and sport. Soon Taylor’s survival depends on the kindness of chimpanzee scientists Cornelius and Zira (Roddy McDowall and Kim Hunter) and his escape to the Forbidden Zone, where he uncovers a devastating secret that may hold the key to his own destiny.

Special features include a behind the Planet of the Apes documentary, beyond the Forbidden Zone Adventure Game, original makeup tests, original on-site footage and audio commentary by key actors and cast.
