Return to the Planet of the Apes

Pursued through the desert by General Urko and his gorilla army, Bill and Jeff take refuge in a hole and find themselves inside the ruins of the New York Public Library. As they make their way through the rubble-strewn underground city, they come across a huge cavern above a giant power complex, which is operated by mysterious cloaked and hooded figures. They then see their lost comrade, Judy, also wearing a robe, and seemingly in a trance. Bill and Jeff are captured and learn from their leader, Krador, that they are the Underdwellers, descendants of the humans who sought safely underground during the holocaust many centuries ago. Krador goes on to tell the two astronauts that their prophecy foretells that Judy will help them return to the surface world, and reclaim it from the apes…
