10 Best Movies Where Everyone Dies

10. Beneath The Planet Of The Apes

The sequel to the original Planet of the Apes, Beneath the Planet of the Apes explores exactly what it says on the tin - a subterranean colony of mutant humans that live beneath the main cities occupied by futuristic primates. Simple.

In all seriousness though, the instalment documents Brent's travel to the planet of the apes in search of the astronaut from the original film, George Taylor. In his search for the lost American, Brent discovers the aggressive ape community that now inhabit earth, and a colony of rebel humans living out under what used to be New York that communicate telepathically to avoid detection by the apes.

Worshipping a giant nuclear bomb and deformed from years of radiative exposure, Brent has to try and find Taylor whilst surviving two battling species that are just as primitive as each other. With the apes intent on wiping out humankind and eventually discovering the underground group, the bomb is detonated in a final act of defiance when the two worlds come to battle - wiping out the planet and its inhabitants in the process.

This didn't stop numerous sequels, remakes, and reboots from happening however - though the central themes of race and war have always been interestingly played out on screen in the ape movies. Whilst Beneath isn't the best of the franchise, it is one of the strangest and most daring, making it a worthwhile watch when you're having an existential crisis.
