From the box:

Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowall star in this fascinating first entry of this extremely popular series. This initial story features Heston as astronaut Taylor, who crash lands on a distant planet. The world is similar to earth, but here intelligent apes rule, hunting primitive speechless humans for sport and conducting scientific experiments on the ones they don’t kill. Soon Taylor himself is among the hunted, his life depending on a benevolent chimpanzee scientist (McDowall).
