Every Planet of the Apes movie in order
Watch Planet of the Apes in release order, which is also the order the story happens in: start with Planet of the Apes, then Beneath the Planet of the Apes, and finish with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. That's 10 films out so far, about 19 hours. Short on time? The 5 essentials take about 11 hours.
