Trivia
As the emotional sounds that chimps make do not in any way resemble those of humans, it was decided to create their vocalizations using actors. Every chimp sound in the picture, other than one very brief outburst, is ADR. The role of Goliath, the giant ape, was voiced by the African-American actor 'Arthur Burghart', who played Dr. Jack Scott on "One Life at a Time" and the smallest female chimp, Daisy, was voiced by 'Annie Lockhart' of "Battleship Gallactica" fame. Norman B. Schwartz was the vocal effects director. See more »Goofs
On Jimmy's green fatigue uniform, the Air Force Logistics Command shield is in the wrong position. He is wearing it on his upper right-hand side, when it should be on the lower right-hand side. See more »Quotes

The eighties have to be considered part of the modern movie era. And already, this is a hidden gem.
The plot is about a government project which uses chimpanzees as guinea pigs in dangerous experiments, and about a man's change from bureaucrat to caring individual.
The plot could have been mundane and mushy, but instead was well crafted.
The film is expertly directed and written. We feel the pains and struggles. It is very moving, and sure to create a tear among the hardest hearts in places.
