<P> In Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Caesar (Andy Serkis) is the main protagonist . Will Rodman (James Franco) is working on a cure for Alzheimer's by performing tests on apes for a pharmaceutical company in the San Francisco Bay Area . One of the first test subjects is Caesar's mother, Bright Eyes, who is captured in Africa at the beginning of the film (also depicted in an online comic strip shortly before the movie's release). Rodman's "cure", ALZ - 112, genetically increases Bright Eyes' intelligence, and this is passed on to Caesar in the womb . After Bright Eyes is killed trying to protect her newborn child (an action mistaken by lab security as her having run amok), all other test apes are ordered destroyed; however, the sympathetic ape handler, Franklin, rescues Caesar and gives him to Will, who smuggles the baby chimp out of the lab and takes him to his home . Caesar spends years living with Rodman as his father and, from his time as an infant, shows intelligence that far surpasses humans at his age . After an incident where he attacks their aggressive neighbor who was being threatening to Will's dementia - suffering father, he is eventually taken and forced into an ape "sanctuary" where he is often tormented by one of the caretakers . Caesar eventually proves smart enough to break free from his cage, even yelling his first word of "No!" in a confrontation with one of the caretakers; he steals Will's new, stronger version of the intelligence - enhancing formula, ALZ - 113, and releases it among the other captive apes . Unlike the original virus, ALZ - 112, which is injected, ALZ - 113 is inhaled (therefore, airborne). They escape the sanctuary and are joined by other captive apes from the zoo and the lab, rallying to escape San Francisco, violently clashing with police . Like his appearance in the fourth and fifth films, Caesar is shown to be compassionate, forbidding his followers from killing innocent humans and those who don't seek to harm them . This clashes with the mindset of another ape, Koba, who is shown to be somewhat maniacal in his resistance . At the film's conclusion, the apes escape to the redwood forest outside the city, with Rodman and Caesar sharing an emotional farewell as Caesar decides to live free among his own kind, telling Rodman "Caesar is home" before they part . </P> <P> The threat of retribution by humans - mentioned by Will as he says farewell--is put to rest in a mid-credits scene . Will's neighbor, a pilot, nose dripping blood and apparently infected with the ALZ - 113 virus, arrives at San Francisco International Airport for his flight . While ominous music plays, a graphic traces the spread of the humanity - killing virus to Paris and around the globe via airline flight routes . </P> <P> After 10 years of living in peace and safety, Caesar still reigns strongly over the apes . Now middle - aged and raising a teenage son, Caesar leads his apes on a hunting expedition . He attempts to teach his son, Blue Eyes how to hunt without getting hurt but this doesn't go to plan . Blue Eyes, who continuously ignores his father's orders, wanders off and is attacked by a bear . Caesar, seeing his son in trouble rushes to help him but he too struggles with the bear . He calls for his friend Koba who spears the bear in the back, between the shoulder blades, killing it . Caesar emerges from under the bear's corpse and attempts to check Blue Eyes' injuries only to be brushed off . </P> <P> Arriving back in the village, Caesar is summoned home by his wife Cornelia's midwives . Hurrying home, the Ape king joins his wife just as she gives birth to their second son . Overjoyed by the reality of having a second son, Caesar summons Blue Eyes over, telling him, "Come meet your new brother". Together, the family celebrates the birth . </P>
