On a planet where apes talk and walk like men, and men are primitive animals, an astronaut from Earth, Taylor, crash lands and is captured by gorilla soldiers. Thinking he is just another primitive human, Taylor is imprisoned and left in the care of two chimps, Cornelius and Zira. It’s soon discovered that Taylor, unlike the other humans, can talk. Taylor is brought before Dr. Zaius, an orangutan, who fears the talking human could bring the downfall of the ape civilization, on the Planet of the Apes!
One of the most memorable icons of Planet of the Apes is The Lawgiver Statue, an iconic image of the first and greatest Ape of all. Through a series of ancient scrolls, the Lawgiver warned Dr. Zaius and the Ape population of the evils of mankind. This polystone representation stands an impressive 18.5″ tall and is authentic in every detail to the statue from the film.
