Short description

The world is shocked by the appearance of three talking chimpanzees, who arrived mysteriously in a spacecraft. Intrigued by their intelligence, humans use them for research - until the apes attempt to escape.

What's left behind the scenes

Sal Mineo agreed to a role in this film hoping to revitalize his film career (as Roddy McDowall had managed to do with filming in the first film of the franchise). However, due to a number of reasons, the script was rewritten, and Mineo's character was killed off earlier than originally intended. This turned out to be Mineo's last film released in theaters, and the actor died on February 12, 1976, at the age of 37.
