Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes: The Return of the Icarus! EXPLAINED

The Icarus from "Planet of the Apes" is an iconic spacecraft, though its role and depiction may slightly vary among different adaptations and movies in the series.

In the original story of "Planet of the Apes" from 1968, the ship is not named Icarus. It's an anonymous spacecraft carrying astronauts, including the main character, George Taylor, on an exploratory mission. The ship travels at near-light speed and, due to time dilation, when the astronauts land on an unknown planet, centuries have passed on Earth. Eventually, they discover they've landed on a futuristic and dystopian version of Earth, now ruled by intelligent apes.
