There is a 10-year time span between Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes and Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes… so what happened in that time? The following three short films, Before The Planet Of The Apes, were made to help fill in the gap.

We start with year one… Spread of the Simian Flu directed by Isaiah Seret.
