It begins in 2018, 8 years after Rise of the Planet of the Apes, where the virus known as ALZ-113 has caused the collapse of the human civilization. Ten years go by and Ceaser leads a new generation of Apes that live in the local Forest. After an accident in the Forest, to find a hydroelectric dam, the humans led by a man named Malcolm (Jason Clarke) discover the Apes, by accident, and Ceaser orders the humans to leave and never return. Meanwhile, the humans are living in a heavily guarded area of San Francisco and must get the Dam running or suffer fate. So Malcom attempts to reason with Ceaser and begins a new friendship with him and they learn from each other. Meanwhile, Koba, Ceasers lieutenant and a renegade has plans of his own because he distrusts humans to extreme beliefs and attempts to led an Ape uprising.

How to Watch Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Legally and Safely

If you want to stream Dawn of the Planet of the Apes through reputable and legal services, there are a few good options depending on where you are. Subscription platforms like HBO Max, Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV+ sometimes carry Dawn of the Planet of the Apes films or related DC titles—though availability depends on your country.

If you’d rather not commit to a subscription, there are ad‑supported, free (but legal) platforms such as Tubi, Pluto TV, Peacock or Crackle (where available in your region) that occasionally host superhero films.

Lastly, don’t forget about library‑linked streaming options like Kanopy or Hoopla (if your library or university is registered), and official uploads by film distributors on YouTube—these can also give you legal access to classic movies.
