Escape from the Planet of the Apes
EssentialMovie19711h 38m
Three apes travel back to 1970s Los Angeles, and the loop begins to close.
Availability changes by country and by week, so this searches JustWatch rather than guessing.
Can you skip Escape from the Planet of the Apes?
No. It carries part of the main Apes throughline, and what comes after it assumes you have seen it. See the full Apes order.
