Newfields Summer Nights: Planet of the Apes 

The beloved summer tradition, The National Bank of Indianapolis Summer Nights Film Series returns to Newfields on Fridays and select Saturdays this June, July, and August. Bring your friends and family and watch movies under the stars at Newfields. All you need is a chair or a blanket; concessions and beverages will be available for purchase. You are welcome to pack your own picnic (with non-alcoholic beverages only) if you’d like. For those who like to be prepared, sunscreen and bug spray are always a good idea.

After being kept in hyper sleep, astronaut George Taylor (Charlton Heston) crash lands on a mysterious planet where highly intelligent apes rule and humans are enslaved.
