PLANET OF THE APES        

In 2029 astronaut Leo Davidson works on space station Oberon with chimps who have been trained to operate space pods. When a pod containg his favorite chimp, Pericles is lost in an electromagnetic storm, Leo defies orders, takes a pod and enters the storm. He passes through a wormhole, and travels through many dates, including June 18, 2057 and June 18, 2085 [13:18]. He crashes in the year 5021 on a planet called Aslar , where apes rule and humans are slaves.  Leo is purchased by an ape named Ari. He starts a human revolt and discovers that the apes sacred temple of Calima is actually the wreck of the Oberon. The station log reveals that the station entered the storm and was transported across space, but not time to Ashlar, where the primates on board fought the base’s humans for control. When Pericle’s pod lands on Aslar, the apes think he is the expected return of the god Semos. Leo and Thade fight in the ship. Leo gives Pericles to Ari and uses Pericles’ pod to return through the storm to Earth, but finds it is now ruled by the apes.
