PLOT
Some time after the US military was called to fight off an increasingly intelligent and dangerous army of apes, the apes clan, led by the chimpanzee Caesar is attacked in the woods by a military faction known as Alpha-Omega. Caesar's clan hides, and Caesar offers the humans peace if the apes are left alone. This conflict has become further complicated as various apes, including the gorilla Red (a former follower of Koba, who previously led a
failed coup against Caesar), have joined Alpha-Omega after being disillusioned with Caesar's leadership and out of fear of retaliation from Caesar due to their betrayal. Learning that Alpha-Omega follows the leadership of a mysterious Colonel, Caesar makes plans to relocate the clan across the desert, not wanting to suffer any more ape casualties after Koba's wrath caused the earlier conflict in San Francisco. The night before their journey, Alpha-Omega launches an assault on the ape home and Caesar's wife Cornelia and their eldest son Blue Eyes are killed by the Colonel, leaving only Caesar's youngest son Cornelius alive.
Leaving Cornelius in the care of Lake, the mate of the late Blue Eyes, Caesar departs to confront the Colonel. He is accompanied only by Maurice the orangutan, Luca the gorilla and Rocket the chimpanzee, while the other apes head for the desert. Confronting traitorous albino gorilla Winter in an Alpha-Omega camp, they learn that the colonel has departed for a location called the "border". The group is forced to silence Winter by asphyxiating him, which causes Caesar to worry he is becoming like Koba. During their journey, they encounter a man living alone in an abandoned village and when he grabs a rifle, they kill him in self-defense. He has the Alpha-Omega brand and may be a deserter. They then discover his young daughter, apparently unable to speak. Maurice insists they take her with them. Further along, they discover some Alpha-Omega soldiers that have been shot and abandoned. Their examination of a survivor reveals that he, like the girl, cannot speak. In an abandoned souvenir shop, the group meets Bad Ape, a chimpanzee hermit who lived in the Sierra Zoo before he was exposed to the Simian Flu virus. Bad Ape is able to direct them to the border, a former weapons depot that was turned into a containment facility when the virus began to spread.

Bad Ape is able to direct them to the border, a former weapons depot that was turned into a containment facility when the virus began to spread.
When the group arrives at the border facility, Luca is
killed by an Alpha-Omega patrol, prompting Caesar to enter the facility alone.
However, he is captured shortly after learning that the rest of his ape clan
have been caught by the colonel. Witnessing his fellow apes being forced to
build a wall with no food or water, Caesar confronts the colonel, who reveals
that the Simian flu virus has evolved further and is now causing some surviving
humans to become mute and regress back to a primitive mentality. The colonel
has barricaded himself to fend off rival military forces coming to execute him,
as he favours kmilling any infected humans while others believe that a cure is
still possible. At the labor camp Caersar is threatened by the Colonel with his
life to persuade the apes to keep working. Lake intervenes, encouraging the
other apes to get back to work in order to spare Caesar.
While Caesar is tortured with starvation, the mute girl ,
whom Maurice names Nova, sneaks into the facility to give him food and water.
Rocket is forced to allow himself to be captured to create a distraction so
that Nova can escape undetected. Together, Caesar and Rocket are able to work
out a means of accessing the ape cage via an underground tunnel that leads out
of the facility, with Bad Ape and Maurice digging into the cage. They free the
adults who then rescue the children. Caesar sends his followers away
while he confronts the Colonel, but the facility is subsequently attacked
by the external military forces. When Caesar reaches the Colonel, he realizes
that the Colonel has succumbed to the infection and is regressing to a
primitive state. Caesar ultimately spares the Colonel, who takes his own life
rather than becoming a primitive.
In a massive battle among Caesar's apes, Alpha-Omega and
the rival militants, Caesar is shot by a crossbow before he can escape. Red redeems himself by saving Caesar's life, sacrificing himself in the process and allowing Caesar to destroy the facility's fuel supplies. The cascading explosion wipes out most of Alpha-Omega, allowing the rival militants to triumph. They then turn their attention on the apes and start to menacingly approach them when an avalanche arrives, wiping out the remaining Alpha-Omega soldiers, as well as the opposing militant forces. Caesar, the apes and Nova manage to retreat to safety by climbing nearby trees.
Departing the facility, the remaining apes cross the desert and find a land that is rich in natural resources. Caesar reveals to Maurice that his arrow wound is mortal. Maurice assures Caesar that Cornelius will know what his father did and what he stood for, and Caesar finally succumbs to his wound.
