Humans and apes are at war, but Caesar still wants to avoid bloodshed. During a scouting mission, Caesar finds Nova, a young girl whose parents succumbed to the Simian Flu, although Nova herself is immune. Maurice takes her in despite Caesar's reluctance. Caesar also meets a fugitive chimp from a nearby military camp.

Caesar and his forces intercept a group of soldiers scouting the apes' territory. One of the soldiers, Preacher, asks Caesar to spare his comrades unaware that their capture was planned so their Colonel could track Caesar's precise location. The Colonel and his men attack the sanctuary, Caesar's wife gets killed in the crossfire and several apes are captured.

Caesar and his remaining forces mount a rescue attempt, but are betrayed by apes who have decided to help the human in exchange for being spared. Caesar ends up being captured and placed in a concentration camp where he's tortured by the Colonel.

Preacher objects to the Colonel's extremism and treats the apes with kindness. He ends up informing Caesar about the base's weaknesses. The Colonel decides to publically execute Caesar and his loyalists, but the runaway chimp sacrifices himself to allow Caesar and his men to escape and retake the base.

A massive battle erupts. Caesar uses grenades to destroy the soldiers' equipment and trigger a massive snowstorm that gives the apes the upper hand. He kills the Colonel in combat and has the surviving humans rounded up. Preacher objects, but a vengeful Caesar claims that's the nature of war. Caesar kills the Colonel's loyalists and enslaves soldiers the remaining soldiers, sparing only Preacher and Nova, who are exiled, leaving Preacher to look after Nova. Caesar then declares Earth is now a PLANET OF THE APES. Maurice and Caesar's son Bright Eyes are clearly uncomfortable with Caesar's new attitude, setting up the sequel.
