    He never did that I could find, they shot him in the neck and took him captive, rendering him temporarily mute.

    Astronauts Taylor (Charlton Heston), Landon (Robert Gunner), Stewart (Dianne Stanley), and Dodge (Jeff Burton) are in deep hibernation when their spaceship Icarus [5]crash-lands in a lake on an unknown planet in the year 3978 A.D., after a 2006-year voyage at near-light speed (during which the crew ages only 18 months due to time dilation). The planet has no moon and the clouds at night are luminous. The astronauts awaken to find Stewart's decomposed body and their ship sinking. They use an inflatable raft to reach shore. Once there, Dodge performs a soil test and pronounces the soil incapable of sustaining life.

    The three astronauts set off through the desert, gradually encountering plant life. They find an oasis at the edge of the desert and decide to go swimming, ignoring strange scarecrow-like figures. While they are swimming, their clothes are stolen. Pursuing the thieves, the astronauts find their clothes in shreds and the perpetrators â€" a group of mute, primitive humans â€" contentedly raiding a cornfield.

    Suddenly, gorillas on horseback charge through the cornfield, brandishing firearms, snares, and nets, which they use to capture whatever humans they can and kill those they cannot. While fleeing, Dodge is killed, Landon is bashed in the head and knocked unconscious, and Taylor is shot in the throat. The gorillas take Taylor to Ape City, where his life is saved by two chimpanzee scientists, animal psychologist Zira (Kim Hunter) and surgeon Galen. Upon awakening, Taylor â€" now housed in a cage with a girl whom he later calls Nova (Linda Harrison), who was captured on the same hunt â€" discovers that his throat wound has rendered him temporarily mute.

    He writes it intially (his vocal chords still injured),
    but when Cornelius states that "flight is a scientific impossibility", Heston makes and launches a paper airplane.
    The plane intrigues and amuses Cornelius and Zira, but Dr. Zaius later dismisses it as "nonsense".
