Rise of the Planet of the Apes (originally titled Caesar and Rise of the Apes) is directed by Rupert Wyatt and produced by Amanda Silver, Rick Jaffa, Peter Chernin and Dylan Clark. It stars James Franco, Andy Serkis and Freida Pinto.
An origin story set in present day San Francisco, where man's own experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes. Will Rodman (James Franco), currently residing in San Francisco, is working on a cure for Alzheimer's by performing tests on apes. The first test subject is Caesar (Andy Serkis), whose parents had been captured in Africa. Rodman's "cure" genetically modifies Caesar's way of thinking to create a new breed of ape with human-like intelligence. Caesar learns well, but human authority continues to test him and contain him. In response to abuse from visitors, he eventually proves smart enough to break free from his cage and release the cure among other apes, who have increased intelligence similar to Caesar's. Millions of apes begin to foment revolution. Soon, war breaks out between humans and apes. Rodman may be the only one able to stop them before the ape revolution ends with them becoming the dominant species on the planet.
