# Rise of the Planet of the Apes - Parent Guide This PG-13 thriller follows a intelligent chimp named Caesar who escapes a brutal primate facility and leads an ape uprising. While the language and sexual content are mild, the strong violence and intense action sequences may be too much for younger children—consider waiting until age 12+.
