Go ape over the ultimate Planet of the Apes DVD

One of cinema's greatest and most memorable sci-fi films, Planet of the Apes, will be available as a Special Edition 2-DVD set later this month.

Released on 26 April, this stunningly packaged set features the seminal 'Ape' movie and over three hours of historic never before seen extras.

These include a two-hour documentary, Behind the Planet of the Apes, presented by the star of the movie, Roddy McDowell. It includes previously unseen footage from the film and new interviews with McDowell plus co-stars Charlton Heston, and Kim Hunter.

Also included in this package are three audio commentaries, featurettes showing make-up tests, outtakes, Roddy McDowell's on set Home Movies, a screen test featuring Edward G. Robinson and a 1967 NATO Presentation.

Planet of the Apes stars Hollywood legend Charlton Heston as Taylor, one of three space explorers who crash-land on a bizarre planet in the future. They search the new territory for evidence of life, and discover a rabble of mute human savages, but all too quickly they are captured by a group of apes on horseback.

The film won an Honorary Academy Award for outstanding make-up achievement and was nominated for 2 more (costume design and original score).

This is an unmissable opportunity to relive the classic scenes, memorable quotes, and unforgettable characters from the film.
