Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes Synopsis
Starting in 2018, the wake of the ALZ-113 virus causes the collapse of human civilization. Ten years later, Caesar leads and governs a new generation of apes in a community located in the Muir Woods. While walking through the forest, Caesar's son Blue Eyes and Ash, the son of another chimpanzee, encounter a human. The human, Carver, panics and shoots Ash, wounding him. Carver calls for the rest of his small party of armed survivors, led by a man named Malcolm, while Blue Eyes calls for the other apes. Caesar orders the humans to leave. The remaining humans in San Francisco, genetically immune to the virus, are living in a guarded tower within the ruined city. Prompted by Koba, a scarred bonobo who holds a grudge against humans for his mistreatment, Caesar brings the apes to the city where he orders the humans to never enter ape territory again.

Malcolm convinces his fellow leader Dreyfus to give him three days to reconcile with the apes to gain access to a hydroelectric dam in their territory, which could provide long-term power to the city. Dreyfus, distrustful of the apes, arms survivors using an abandoned armory. Caesar allows Malcolm to work on the dam's generator, provided they surrender their guns. As Malcolm, his partner Ellie, and son Alexander work, they bond with the apes. Meanwhile, Koba discovers the armory and confronts Caesar, questioning his allegiance. In response, Caesar heavily beats Koba, but refuses to kill him and forgives him. Koba returns to the armory and, after murdering two human guards, steals an assault rifle. He then kills Carver, stealing his lighter.

The dam is eventually repaired, restoring power to the city. During the celebration, Koba, unnoticed, lights the apes' home on fire. Caesar notices Koba right before Koba shoots him in the arm, unseen by anyone else. In the panic of the shooting and the fire, Koba claims that Malcolm's group is responsible and orders the apes to war against the humans. Malcolm's group hides as Koba leads the apes to San Francisco. They plunder the armory and charge the tower’s gates. Despite heavy casualties, the apes overrun the tower and imprison all the humans as Dreyfus flees underground. When Ash refuses Koba’s orders to kill unarmed humans, citing Caesar's teachings, Koba kills Ash and jails all apes loyal to Caesar.

Malcolm's group find Caesar barely alive and transport him to his former home in San Francisco. Caesar reveals to Malcolm that Koba shot him, realizing his notion that all apes were better than humans was naive. As he enters the city to find medical supplies so Ellie can operate on Caesar, Malcom encounters Blue Eyes and reunites the two. Blue Eyes then frees the caged humans, as well as the apes loyal to Caesar. The freed apes join Caesar and confront Koba at the summit of the tower. Traveling with the apes, Malcolm locates Dreyfus, who informs Malcolm that his men have made radio contact with more survivors on their way to help fight the apes. While Caesar and Koba battle, Malcolm tries to prevent Dreyfus from detonating C-4 explosives underneath the tower. Dreyfus eventually detonates them; the resulting explosion kills Dreyfus and collapses part of the tower. Caesar overpowers Koba and, while lifting Koba from a ledge, refuses to save him and lets him fall to his death.

Malcolm informs Caesar of the impending arrival of human reinforcements. Caesar tells Malcolm the humans will never forgive the apes for the war they started and tells him to leave with his family for safety. As Malcolm slips away into the shadows, Caesar stands before a kneeling mass of apes, ready to lead them into war.

Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes Movie Review
You need to watch <Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes> before you watch <Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes> because <Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes> is the sequel movie for <Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes>. At first, we can see Caesar's son Blue Eyes and Rocket's son Ash was encountered with the human and Ash was being shot by the human called Carver. Caesar ordered them to leave and bring his team guarded tower which is lived by the human where he conveys the message that while the apes do not want war, they will fight to defend their home. Malcolm reconcile with the apes to gain access to a hydroelectric dam in their territory, which could provide long-term power to the city. Caesar agreed but they have to surrender their guns. As Malcolm, his wife Ellie, and son Alexander work, they bond with the apes. Mutual distrust of both sides gradually subsides but trust momentarily ends when Carver threatens Caesar's sons with a concealed shotgun. The sides reconcile as Ellie is allowed to treat Caesar's ill wife Cornelia with antibiotics. This made the human might have the last chance to make peace with the apes. Meanwhile, Koba discovers the armory and confronts Caesar, questioning his allegiance and taunting him over his 'love' for humans. In response, Caesar heavily beats Koba, but since he does not kill other apes he chooses to forgive him. Koba then returns to the armory, steals an assault rifle and murders two human guards. He then secretly kills Carver, stealing his lighter. The dam is eventually repaired, restoring power to the city. During the celebration, Koba sets fire to the apes' home. Then while unseen by anyone else, Koba and Caesar lock eyes as Koba shoots Caesar in the chest, causing him to fall from the settlement's main tree. In the panic of the loss of the Alpha and the fire, Koba takes charge, placing the blame on Malcolm's group and orders the apes to war against the humans. Malcolm's group hides as Koba leads the apes into San Francisco. The apes plunder the armory and charge the tower's gates. Despite heavy casualties, the apes breach the gates using a hijacked tank, overrun the tower and imprison all the humans as Dreyfus flees underground. When Ash refuses Koba's orders to kill unarmed humans, citing Caesar's teachings, Koba kills Ash and imprisons all those known to be loyal to Caesar. This can show us Koba, the apes whom start the war but not the human. Caesar was being heal by Ellie in Caesar's old house while his son is betraying Koba and save the other apes which is locked in the prison. While Caesar and Koba battle, Malcolm fails to prevent Dreyfus from detonating C-4 underneath the tower. The resulting explosion simultaneously kills Dreyfus and collapses part of the tower. Caesar overpowers Koba, knocking him to the edge of the tower. While lifting Koba from a ledge, Caesar refuses to save him, claiming he is no longer a true ape, and lets him fall to his death. Malcolm informs Caesar of the impending arrival of human military reinforcements. Both lament the lost opportunity for peace. Caesar tells Malcolm the humans will never forgive the apes for the war they started and tells him to leave with his family for safety. As Malcolm slips away into the shadows, Caesar stands before a kneeling mass of apes awaiting the battle to come. As a conclusion, we need to investigate before justify who did the bad things. The group of apes believed that the human killed Caesar but actually this was done by Koba. As Caesar said, "Apes does't kill Apes" but Koba did kill a lot of apes because he want to be the leader.
