Set after the events of \u003cem data-start=\"673\" data-end=\"709\"\u003eConquest of the Planet of the Apes\u003c\/em\u003e, the film follows \u003cstrong data-start=\"728\" data-end=\"738\"\u003eCaesar\u003c\/strong\u003e as he attempts to build a fragile new society in which apes and humans might coexist, even as old hatreds and new threats push that vision toward violence. As the final chapter of the original cycle, it has long held particular appeal for collectors of vintage science-fiction cinema and for those assembling a complete run of original Apes material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1091\" data-end=\"1108\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1091\" data-end=\"1108\"\u003ePoster design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1110\" data-end=\"1547\"\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong data-start=\"1120\" data-end=\"1147\"\u003ebold and highly graphic\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese design. The composition is dominated by a huge image of \u003cstrong data-start=\"1213\" data-end=\"1223\"\u003eCaesar\u003c\/strong\u003e beneath a blazing red-white celestial sky, surrounded by battle scenes, mounted figures, and combat imagery that emphasise the film’s apocalyptic, end-of-series character. The enormous red Japanese title \u003cstrong data-start=\"1428\" data-end=\"1439\"\u003e最後の猿の惑星\u003c\/strong\u003e has tremendous impact and gives the poster a strong local identity distinct from its American campaign art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1549\" data-end=\"1887\"\u003eWhat makes this piece especially interesting is the \u003cstrong data-start=\"1601\" data-end=\"1643\"\u003eB3 format with a fully printed reverse\u003c\/strong\u003e. The back is not blank: it contains extensive Japanese text, cast and staff information, and period stills, making the piece both an attractive display poster and a fascinating original campaign document from the film’s first Japanese release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1889\" data-end=\"1902\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1889\" data-end=\"1902\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1904\" data-end=\"2425\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1904\" data-end=\"1992\"\u003eExcellent.
