War will see humans and apes come to blows in a series of large battle scenes, from the snowy woodland and steep forests of the apes' territory to the industrial mountain base that the Colonel calls home. Dawn upped the ante with a gritty assault on a human compound, but nothing compares to the full-scale warfare that's been teased in the third movie.
The titular war has been foreshadowed since the battle lines were drawn in the finale of Rise, when the escaped primates fought their way out of San Francisco in an iconic sequence on the Golden Gate Bridge. War for the Planet of the Apes is set to be the most spectacular entry in the trilogy, featuring several action-packed battle scenes and dramatic set pieces.
