 Dr. Zaius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zaius was a fictional character in the novel and movies Planet of the Apes.
Zaius was portrayed in the first and second movies by actor Maurice Evans, and in the later television series by Booth Coleman.
Zaius prefers a stagnant, imperfect, faith-based ape culture that keeps humans in check, to the open, scientific, human-curious one proposed by Cornelius and Zira's generation, while the idea of an intelligent human (such as Taylor) threatening the balance of things frightens him deeply.

Planet of the Apes was nothing short of a revolution in filmmaking when it was released in 1968, both in terms of the thought-provoking ideas suggested by its premise as well as with regard to its technical achievements.
Planet of the Apes is actually a very well made and highly thought provoking film that is certainly worthy of its place as an icon in the history of filmmaking.
Planet of the Apes gained its status as one of the all time classics of science fiction with good reason, and even more than thirty years later, it stands the test of time (and captures the imagination enough for Tim Burton to put together a remake for July of 2001).

First, the movie has been such a known part of pop culture for so long that I'm sure a lot of folks believe they saw it but didn't; sometimes it's hard to separate actual memories from imagined ones, as anyone who thinks they saw Laura Dern pick the leaf in Jurassic Park can attest.

Taylor is also captured, taken to their colony, where he discovers that apes have taken on the role of Earthly humans, and humans are the lesser species.
Dr. Zira and her fiance, Cornelius (Roddy McDowall), provide arguments for the existence of Taylor on their planet that also carry small clues as to what the movie is building up to, while also enforcing the film's theme of ignorance in the assembly's unwillingness to accept their theories.
To call "Planet of the Apes" a strictly science fiction film is unjust, as there is more to its story.
