The baby chimpanzee whose parents were travelers from the future has grown, and, after an incident with the police, is chased by the authorities who think he spells doom for mankind. He starts an underground ape movement to take the power from the humans.
As the preceding films in this franchise, this one is heavily invested in action and spectacle but is actually not very rich in ideas. The plot does not make much sense: the apes at once evolved too rapidly since the previous movie, and did not evolve enough for taking over the planet. America in the early seventies was very much obsessed with revolutions and riots, and this film explores that theme in a very elementary way with apes as the oppressed class.
