"We are not savages. Apes fight only to survive," Caesar says. Caesar is also seen taking in a young human girl which makes others of his kind uneasy.
Despite Caesar's efforts, an army lead by Woody Harrelson begins to mobilize and attack the apes.
"We created them but now, we will bring an end to their kind," Harrelson says to his troops.
"Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless colonel," reads a synopsis of the film. "After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet."
Directed by Matt Reeves, War for the Planet of the Apes also stars Steve Zahn, Karin Konoval, Amiah Miller and Terry Notary and is due in theaters July 14.
