Synopsis

"Ape" tells the story of Tony, an orangutan who escapes from a zoo in New York and, having learned to pass himself off as a man, goes on to become the world's most famous chat show host. Mendez, the zookeeper, is devastated by his loss and spends years trying to find him. His determination is fueled by the belief that Tony is behind the escape of other apes from other zoos across America. Naturally, everyone thinks that he's crazy...
