A scientist, Will Rodman (James Franco), is experimenting with a drug to cure his father’s (John Lithgow) Alzheimer’s disease. When his work is deemed a failure, Will becomes the guardian of Caesar, a baby chimp who was exposed in-utero to Will’s experimental drug. Caesar displays unusual intelligence, so Will decides to continue his experiments secretly… but as Caesar’s intellect and abilities grow, he becomes a threat to man’s dominion over Earth.
