Movie Club: Planet of the Apes

The Newtown Theatre's Movie Club pick for July is Planet of the Apes (1968). After being kept in hypersleep during a long expedition into deep space, an astronaut crew crash-lands in the 40th century on a planet where highly intelligent non-human ape species are dominant and humans are enslaved.

Each Movie Club film is introduced by Emmy Award winner and film historian Joe Amodei, President/CEO of Virgil Films & Entertainment. After the movie, Joe will be joined by a special guest for a conversation with the audience about the film.
