Planet of the Apes

25: Taylor and the other two astronauts walk past scarecrows, trees, swim in the water, and their clothes are stolen. Soon, they will be captured by the apes. The birth of something new.

45: Taylor fights to defend himself in prison. He's burned and sent to another prison in a lab. Dr. Cornelius sees Taylor's writing in the dirt and rubs it out with his foot. In the lab, he gets a pencil and paper and his writing proves he's not like any man they've met. Now that I'm aware.

60: Taylor gives his friend a name: Nova. A water hose is turned on Taylor and Nova is placed in a different cell. The apes tell Taylor to shut up and call him a freak. Taylor opens up to Nova, telling her about his society and past: "lots of lovemaking but no love." There's no going back now.

-45: Taylor and his allies are on trial. Taylor says he wants to defend himself but they won't allow him to tell his side of the story. He is silenced and called an animal. The apes repeat well known human themes and when Taylor submits his views in writing they call his viewpoint a joke. Discovery.

-25: Taylor, Nova, and their ape allies journey past the scarecrows and reach a river that leads to the sea. Eventually, the forbidden zone reveals a shocker of an ending too cool to mention in case you haven't seen this great film. The final turning point.
