DESCRIPTION:
Presented as part of the semester-long Planet of the Apes retrospective, join us for a screening of 2014’s Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, directed by USC School of Cinematic Arts alum Matt Reeves. Ten years after the "simian flu" pandemic brings humanity to the brink of extinction, a human survivor named Malcolm (Jason Clarke) makes a startling discovery in the woods outside San Francisco: a group of super-intelligent apes, under the guidance of their leader, Caesar, has formed the beginnings of a civilization. Malcolm's band of survivors forms a tense partnership with Caesar's apes as they work to restore power to San Francisco, but escalating distrust—and a plot by Caesar's rival to forestall any coexistence with humans—soon brings the two species into open war.
