An animated series based on the theatrical film "Planet of the Apes." Traveling aboard the NASA spacecraft Venture, three astronauts--Bill Hudson, Judy Franklin, and Jeff Carter--penetrate a time vortex and are hurled from present-day Earth to Earth in the year 3979--a world that is ruled by highly intelligent apes. Stories follow the astronauts' adventures as they seek a way to return to the Earth of their time.
