Clearly, something about the devastation of Earth appeals to Heston [insert NRA joke here]. This time Chuck stars as an astronaut who crash-lands on a planet where intelligent, talking apes have scaled the evolutionary ladder and made mute humans subordinate to them.
When Heston stumbles upon (spoiler alert!) remnants of the Statue of Liberty and discovers the planet is actually our own, his anguished cries speak volumes—albeit a little louder than we'd like.
