Exodus of the Planet of the Apes (2020 Film)

Reign of the Planet of the Apes is a 2019 sequel to the 2011 film Rise of the Planet of the Apes, 2014 film Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and 2017 film War of the Planet of the Apes with Matt Reeves planning to return as director.

Synopsis
13 years after the events of War of the Planet of the Apes, Cornelius is the leader of the apes during a nuclear war between the remaining human armies. After a nuke is dropped near the apes, a gas is released which is the mutated version of simian flu that makes people mute but has a different effect on the apes. The apes then must journey to safety.

Plot
Thirteen years after Caesar led the apes in a rebellion against Colonel McCullough and the Alpha-Omega army, his son Cornelius is leading the colony with Maurice as his advisor. The ape clan has found themselves in the middle of a nuclear war between different groups of humans with the mutated simian flu continuing to ravage the human population that is still left. New bombs are being created that release gas when they come into contact with the ground. One hits in the oasis and releases gas and all the ape's breathe in the gas but nothing happens. Cornelius, Bad Ape, Maurice, Rocket, Maruikei (an albino gorilla), and Akamaru (a silverback gorilla) hold a council to decide if it is time to move further inland. They unanimously agree. The next day they move out. Later in the night, they stumble upon a small group of humans that run from the apes but they aren't fast enough and the apes catch up. These humans can't talk. The apes let them go. The next day they encounter a small group of apes that can talk and also stand on their hind legs. There is a standoff between the two colonies. Gunfire erupts and four apes from the new colony are killed but the leader of this new colony comes out. His name is Aono Zaius. These apes look considerably different than others. They are more human-like and they can talk.

The apes stay there for a while and the two governments decide to join forces and become one. Strange things start to happen to some more apes. They develop speech. As they journey they see ahead in the distance small bombs raining down on a vast mountain range. They see a  few gas plumes rise from the mountains. The apes start to panic but Cornelius calms them down. They decide to camp near the mountains for the night. They hold an Ape Council meeting and decide to go north to where the mountains aren't so steep. The next morning they go north and encounter a small branch of the Alpha-Omega army.

The apes ambush the group and take over the base. They lock the humans in large cages. The Apes explore their arsenal and find hundreds of nukes with names of places like Beijing and New York. None of the humans can talk. Soon some of the apes start to walk straight up and something is happening with the apes. Aono Zaius and his second-in-command Morida talk about their plans to overthrow Cornelius, & what is happening to the apes which was caused by the gas. Later Morida sneaks out to the missile room and presses the button that says New York and a large bomb leaves the building and causes a small earthquake. Akamaru hurries in and catches Morida. Akamaru brings Morida to Aono and Cornelius.

Aono & Cornelius decide to leave behind Morida with the humans. Morida tries to reveal what Aono and what she was up to but Aono silences her. They lock Morida in the cage and then leave the station. The apes journey through grasslands. They then find an abonded military station. Like the past station there was a large room with nukes. They make camp there and decide to keep guard so nothing bad happens like the last time. That night Cornelius has a dream that humans look a lot like humans. They talk and stand up straight. The next day they leave and come to the ruins of a city called Chicago where there is a group of apes who can also talk. Cornelius then realizes that his dream has come true and the apes are evolving and becoming more human-like
