The movie, which is set 300 years after the events of War, centers on a young chimpanzee named Noa and a human lady named Mae as they set out on a quest to decide what will happen to apes and humans in the future.

The story of Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes movie is Apes have established multiple clans and become the dominant species many generations after Caesar’s death. A chimpanzee from an eagle-focused clan, Noa gets ready for adulthood by helping his companions Anaya and Soona—the latter of whom he has a crush on—collect eagle eggs. But Noa’s egg gets accidentally cracked by a human, so he goes back to the city to get another one. That evening, he finds followers of a rebellious tribe loyal to Proximus Caesar, who preaches a perverted form of the original Caesar’s doctrine. They utilize Noa’s horse, which they find, to travel to his clan. When he returns, his house is on fire.

When Noa wakes up, he finds his family gone. Noa looks for Koro’s family while burying his body. He meets Raka, an orangutan, amid the wreckage of a LAX terminal, and Raka informs Noa of Caesar’s true teachings. When he sees the human prowling around, he calls her Nova and gives her some food and a blanket. They come across other people on their travels. Noa makes the decision to go and demands that Raka continue teaching. But when Proximus’ clan assaults the humans, Noa changes her mind and decides to save Nova, who then says that she is actually Mae. She informs Noa of Proximus’s clan’s destination, supposing he made his home next to an ancient human bunker.

When attempting to cross a bridge over a river on their route to the hamlet, they become stuck. Raka helps Mae during the ensuing struggle, but he drowns as a result of the current washing him away. Proximus is brought to Noa and Mae’s camp, where he meets up with Soona and his mother again. After coming out as Proximus, he extends an invitation to Noa to supper with Mae and Trevathan, the human who joined the apes. He thinks Noa is helpful and asks to know Mae’s strategy, telling Noa that Mae is just interested in herself.

Noa thinks, thinking that Koro’s eagle is playing with him close by. When Noa acknowledges that Proximus’ law is incorrect, the eagle approaches him. He approaches Mae and demands to know the truth in return for her assistance. Mae discloses that she is aware of a covert way into the bunker and that she is searching for a book that might give people the ability to speak again. After this, Noa intends to demolish the bunker and return with his people to their homeland.

Around the dam, Noa, Mae, Soona, and Anaya plant dynamite and gunpowder. After interrupting and preparing to alert Proximus, Mae kills Trevathan. Next, they make their way to the cliff-top concealed entrance. While the apes find books that show humans as once-dominant, Mae finds her book, which contains a decode key.

Proximus confronts them as they leave and threatens to kill Soona, but Mae shoots and kills the ape that is holding Soona. If she reveals the location of the remaining weapons to Proximus, he will let her to leave. Rather, Mae detonates the surrounding explosives, demolishing the dam and flooding the bunker. Sylva confronts Noa as the monkeys continue to climb. Following a short battle, Noa flees through a little opening, leaving Sylva to drown.

After he escapes, Proximus attacks him with the intention of killing him. When Noa eventually learns how to sing his father’s melodies to the eagles, Proximus is attacked and ultimately perishes. Noa returns home with his clan and begins to rebuild. Mae bids Noa farewell because she feels that since humans were once the dominant species, they should be given another chance. She travels to a human satellite base, where she gives her group the decipher key to reactivate satellites and establish communication with people all across the world.
