In present-day San Francisco, pharmaceutical chemist Will Rodman is testing the viral-based drug ALZ-112 on chimpanzees at the biotech company Gen-Sys to find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. ALZ-112 is given to a chimp named Bright Eyes, greatly increasing her intelligence. However, during Will’s presentation for the drug, Bright Eyes is forced from her cage, goes on a rampage and is shot to death. Will’s boss Steven Jacobs terminates the project and has the chimps euthanized. However, Will’s assistant Robert Franklin discovers that the reason for Bright Eyes’ rampage was that she had recently given birth to an infant chimp. Will reluctantly agrees to take in the chimp, eventually giving him the name “Caesar.” Discovering that Caesar has inherited his mother’s intelligence through being exposed to ALZ-112 in her womb, Will decides to raise him. Three years later, Caesar has become a highly intelligent animal because of the ALZ-112, and can play games, draw pictures, and communicate with Will through sign language. Will soon introduces Caesar to the redwood forest at Muir Woods National Monument. Meanwhile, Will treats his dementia-suffering father Charles Rodman with ALZ-112, which seems to restore his cognitive ability.Rise of the Planet of the Apes full Movie.
Five years later, Caesar, now a young adolescent, questions his identity and learns of his origins from Will. Meanwhile, Charles’ condition returns as his immune system becomes resistant to ALZ-112. Caesar injures an aggressive neighbor, Douglas Hunsiker, while defending a confused Charles from him. He is taken to a primate shelter. Because of his increased intelligence and his different appearance to the other apes, Caesar is tormented by the alpha chimp named Rocket and the chief guard, Dodge Landon. However, Caesar also befriends a former circus orangutan named Maurice, who also knows sign language. Caesar learns how to unlock his cage, gaining free access to the common area.
