Battle for the Planet of the Apes is a 1973 science fiction film directed by J. Lee Thompson.  It is the fifth and final entry in the original Planet of the Apes series produced by Arthur P. Jacobs, following Conquest of the Planet of the Apes.  It stars Roddy McDowall, Claude Akins, Natalie Trundy, Severn Darden, Lew Ayres, Paul Williams and John Huston.
Told as a flashback in the early 21st century, with a wraparound sequence narrated by the orangutan Lawgiver (John Huston) set in "North America - 2670 A.D.", this sequel follows the ape leader, Caesar (Roddy McDowall), at least twelve years after he led the revolution in the previous film, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes.  In this post-nuclear society, Caesar tries to cultivate peace between the apes and the surviving humans.  A gorilla general named Aldo (Claude Akins), however, opposes this and plots Caesar's downfall.  Caesar is married to Lisa (Natalie Trundy), the female ape of the previous film, and they have a son, named Cornelius (Bobby Porter) in honor of Caesar's father.  The film continues...
The Lawgiver finishes his wraparound narration (he says it's been over 600 years since the death of Caesar).  It's revealed he's talking to a group of young humans and apes.  The two species have continued to coexist in peace. When asked by a human child "Who knows about the future?", the Lawgiver replies "Perhaps, only the dead."  A closeup of a statue of Caesar shows a single tear falling from one eye.
Battle for the Planet of the Apes grossed a domestic total of $8.8 million, making it the lowest grossing film in the series.  However, the film went on to earn an estimated $4 million in North American rentals in 1973.
The film later became one of the inspirations to the story of the Academy Award winning film, Argo.  After Ben Affleck's character watches the movie with his son, he is inspired to make a movie for the CIA as a cover story to get hostages out of Iran. Poster IS NOT Included
