In the Bornean rainforest Dr. Anne Russon, primate psychologist, broaches new territory in the attempt to understand orangutan intelligence and psychology. Orangutans, like humans, have "culture." They do not rely solely on animal instinct for survival. Instead a rich and complex society of elders and peers provides the young with critical knowledge that is necessary for their survival in the rainforest. The destruction of the orangutan's habitat to make way for palm oil plantations and the illegal pet-trade threaten the lives of these great apes. When they are taken out of their habitat or when it is destroyed, their culture is disabled.

Ce film entraîne le spectateur dans l'exploration d'environnements extrêmes méconnus : les profondeurs abyssales grâce à une technologie très sophistiquée. Un voyage à la découverte d'un monde enfoui où toute forme de vie est une démonstration de la capacité des êtres vivants à s'adapter à leur environnement.

Bien que les mers recouvrent plus des deux tiers de notre planète, nous connaissons mieux la surface de la lune que les fonds des océans. La Planète bleue est un étonnant voyage d'une infinie richesse dans le monde marin. Des espèces inconnues vivant à des profondeurs jamais atteintes par l'homme, en passant par la naissance des crabes, la lutte des bancs de sardines contre les prédateurs de la mer et des airs, les réunions incongrues des manchots, les jeux cruels des orques, sans oublier les ballets des dauphins ou les balades majestueuses des baleines en voie d'extinction, ce film tout public nous invite à un voyage qui rapproche le spectateur de tout âge de la nature.
