Film.com's FREE movie of the week is "Love the Hard Way." Oscar-winner Adrien Brody and Charlotte Ayanna star in this drama about a thief who falls for a curious, beautiful young woman. As their intimacy grows, a slick cop (Pam Greer) is closing in.
After discovering that the planet ruled by apes which he had arrived on was really post-nuclear Earth in the future, US astronaut Taylor disappears while exploring the Forbidden Zone with his mate Nova. Brent, another astronaut sent after Taylor, lands on the planet and is taken to the ape city of Nova, where he's hidden by the friendly chimp scientist Zira and Cornelius. Brent and Nova are eventually captured by a gorilla named Ursus, a military leader who wants to lead a holy war on the mysterious inhabitants of the Forbidden Zone.
