Escape from the Planet of the Apes is the sequel to Beneath the Planet of the Apes and the third installment of the Planet of the Apes series, released in 1971.Taylor's spaceship crashes off California's southern coast in 1973. Inside are three talking apes - Zira and Cornelius, along with another scientist, Dr. Milo, having managed to escape the destruction of Earth in the last movie and travel back in time. Milo is killed in Los Angeles' zoo by a non-civilized gorilla, and this prompts a pregnant Zira to baptize her son "Milo".Considering the dangers of talking apes, the US Military starts chasing them, prompting Zira, Cornelius, and Milo to get hidden in Armando (Ricardo Montalban)'s circus.The sequel to this movie, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, was released in 1972.

Little "No": "On an historic day, which is commemorated by my species and fully documented in the Sacred Scrolls, there came Aldo. He did not grunt. He articulated. He spoke a word which had been spoken to him time without number by humans. He said, 'No'."

comment
Cultural Posturing: Despite Cornelius' defensive Humans Are the Real Monsters commentary, anyone who's seen the previous film knows he's glossing over the many, many faults of apedom, including the fact that they were just as violent towards their own as humans—as seen when Zaius and Urko had armed gorilla soldiers break up a peaceful protest by beating the protestors senseless.

Adults Are More Anthropomorphic: Zira, Cornelius and Dr. Milo are played by human actors in ape make-up, and as such, they are bipedal and have largely human-like body proportions. Zira's baby is played by a live baby chimpanzee.

Does Not Like Spam: Zira, contrary to the popular stereotype of primates and bananas, dislikes bananas. In fact, she finally gives the game away about her sapience and vocal abilities when, overhearing some human scientists wondering why she didn't eat the fruit she'd reached, she can't resist informing them of this fact.

Sequel Hook
 Escape from the Planet of the Apes / int_6293c185
comment
Sequel Hook: The ending scene was meant to simply connect this movie to the future. Executive Meddling led to more movies. After his experience being forced to write this sequel after Beneath (which was written with as final a Downer Ending as could be done), screenwriter Paul Dehn wrote the ending of Escape as both a link to the future storyarc and with enough wiggle room to squeeze in another movie if the studio wanted it.

Jerkass: Dr. Hasslein is this from the very first second he's on-screen. Overly paranoid about the apes and looking to find out about their society (by making Zira drunk) and when the truth of the apes' history is known, the first thing he can think of is to Leave No Survivors (with killing a defenseless baby and neutering at his most benevolent — at the climactic confrontation, he even wastes all of his ammo shooting the poor baby rather than deal with his parents, one of which has a gun of his own).

Nice Job Breaking It, Herod: Hasslein's obsession with killing Zira's baby merely ensures that nobody notices Zira had switched babies with another chimp mother at Armando's circus. Openly referenced in the movie by the President, played by William Windom, who refuses at first to sign off on aborting Zira's pregnancy, and directly cites Herod's murder of innocent children as a reason.
