Additional Information

Planet of the Apes (1968) Time-traveling astronaut Charlton Heston crashes on an unknown planet two millennia in the future and finds himself in a world run by highly-advanced apes who treat humans as beasts and slaves. Offering a bracing look in the mirror, the iconic adventure film is vintage Serling: transplanting social concerns onto a fantastic future world.

Suspense: "Nightmare at Ground Zero" (CBS, 8/18/53): In this eerily atmospheric live television drama directed by Robert Mulligan (To Kill a Mockingbird), a henpecked artist hired by the U.S. Army to supply mannequins for an atomic test plots a horrific solution to dispose of his nagging wife.
