The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don t welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford). It s a town that lives in fear. But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky.

Seeking justice for his fellow inmates, Caesar gives the fellow apes the same drug that he inherited. He then assembles a simian army and escapes the sanctuary - putting man and ape on a collision course that could change the planet forever. January 17th Dolphin Tale (2011) A lonely and friendless boy finds and untangles a hurt dolphin that is caught in a crab trap.

When he has an accident however, he wakens to find that he is not alone. He also comes to realize that his world is not what he thought it was.
