A provocative sci-fi allegory about power, hierarchy, and human nature that uses an inverted ape-ruled world to interrogate civilization, morality, and our place in the cosmos.

Astronaut Taylor crash lands on a distant planet ruled by apes who use a primitive race of humans for experimentation and sport. Soon Taylor finds himself among the hunted, his life in the hands of a benevolent chimpanzee scientist.
