Wes Ball’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is a unique addition to the Apes franchise, blending ape and human narratives. Freya Allan's character, Mae, plays a pivotal role in the story. Mae encounters Noa, a young chimpanzee, and inadvertently leads hostile apes to his village, resulting in destruction and abductions. Mae's intelligence is revealed when she discloses her real name, challenging the perception of her being feral and mute.
As the plot unfolds, Mae and Noa are captured by Proximus Caesar, who aims to access human technology in a vault for ape dominance. Mae and Noa collaborate to retrieve a decryption key, crucial for human communication. In a daring move, Mae sacrifices the vault to prevent ape domination, leading to a tragic outcome.
