Ape House

A group of reporters visit a remote research facility where bonobos have been taught American Sign Language and computer interfaces to communicate with humans. Shortly after they leave, an explosion destroys the lab; scientist Isabel Duncan is severely injured while trapped inside, and the surviving apes are sold off into private hands. When Isabel learns that one of her former subjects has been purchased by a man named Ken Faulks for use in his pornographic film project "Ape House," she travels to New Mexico to rescue them before they can be exploited on camera.
