In one of his first grownup roles after years of playing teen heroes, Matthew Broderick stars as an air force foul-up, a pilot who is assigned to care for the chimps in military medical experiments as punishment. Initially indignant about his assignment, he gradually warms up to the task.
Broderick's character is a talented pilot who has made a mistake, leading to his unglamorous punishment of overseeing the chimp experiments. At the start, he is resentful and views the chimps as mere subjects, not deserving of his attention. However, over time, he begins to develop a rapport with the animals and sees them as individuals rather than just test subjects.
The film follows Broderick's character as he navigates this unexpected responsibility and how it changes his perspective. He starts to appreciate the intelligence and personalities of the chimps, forming unexpected connections with them. As he gets to know the animals better, his initial frustration transforms into a sense of protectiveness and even affection.
Through this character arc, the movie explores themes of redemption and the power of empathy. Broderick's performance captures the character's reluctant evolution, as he is forced to confront his own preconceptions and prejudices. The chimps, in turn, help him rediscover his own humanity and sense of purpose, which had been lost amidst the rigid structure of military life.
The film's narrative uses the unusual setting of a military medical experiment facility to examine broader questions about the treatment of animals, the responsibilities of those in power, and the importance of compassion. Broderick's character serves as a proxy for the audience, guiding us through this thought-provoking exploration of moral and ethical issues.
Ultimately, the movie showcases Broderick's versatility as an actor, as he transitions from his more familiar teen idol roles into a more mature, complex character. His performance, combined with the film's compelling storyline and thematic depth, makes for a compelling and entertaining cinematic experience.
