    Did you even watch the movie? They explain it right away!

    Someone “blew it up” and the resulting explosion launched it into space.

      I always thought that was silly. How did it stay so intact?

      It was a terrorist cell “Maniacs” who blew it up.

    It was a different statue that looked the same. Just a coincidence. It’s not that deep.

      I want to think this whole thread is just whimsical, but I have to know for sure - y’all get that it’s future Earth, right?

          Still not sure if you’re serious, but check out the rest of the movies or read this.

          In the original novel it’s an alien planet where apes dominate humans, but in the movies humans in the near future on Earth use intelligent apes as slaves until the apes revolt and take over. Eventually a nuclear apocalypse destroys that civilization, which is followed by the less advanced one seen in the first movie. Rod Serling came up with the ending that made it future Earth.

                I think they are talking about the original set of movies. Ya thought it was only the new ones that got milked? Fuck no the original one got milked hard.

    They sold it, to pay for the debts after the stock market crash of 2025.

    So… in the novel… it IS actually a different planet and obviously the Statue of Liberty is not there.

    You likely already know this but the statue in the movie is a convenient symbol for change over time which is relevant to the book. No spoilers.

    Anyway… read the novel! It’s great.
