The movie titled “Sergeant York” narrates the real-life tale of a soldier, whose name graced the title, who earned legendary status in the military during World War I. His battalion was under intense fire from German machine guns and artillery, but York single-handedly turned the tide, winning the Medal of Honor by overpowering numerous Germans with just his pistol. This event led to a large number of soldiers surrendering to him, who were then escorted back by York. Interestingly, he famously claimed that he captured 132 Germans instead of an entire army. However, the film also delves into other aspects of Sergeant York‘s life.

2011’s film “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” revolutionized the series by replacing traditional makeup and ape suits with cutting-edge CGI characters, setting the stage for an emotionally impactful narrative that served as the foundation for the entire fictional universe.

While the modern “Planet of the Apes” films may have shed the campiness of their predecessors, they are not entirely devoid of scientific inaccuracies either.
