5. Planet of the Apes
Academy award winning actor Charlton Heston stars as George Taylor, one of four astronauts who find themselves crash landed on an unknown planet in the far future in the Sci-fi classic Planet of the Apes. Shortly after they leave their ship, a squad of uniformed gorillas on horseback charge and capture them.
The confused yet terrified astronauts soon learn that the planet is controlled by various apes who can talk and think much like humans. Heston’s character manages to escape, eventually finding out that this ape world is actually Earth in the far future, long after a global thermonuclear war. Taylor then falls to his knees in shock and despair, infuriated with the inevitable fate mankind has doomed itself with.
