Superman

"Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!" Christopher Reeve is the Last Son of Krypton, who must thwart notorious criminal mastermind Lex Luthor's (Gene Hackman) evil plot to trigger an earthquake that could destroy all of California. You'll believe a man can fly in director Richard Donner's comic book fantasy classic, which heralded the stream of superhero epics in the decades to follow. Margot Kidder co-stars as Lois Lane, along with Ned Beatty, Valerie Perrine, Jackie Cooper, Marc McClure, and Marlon Brando. 143 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Two-disc set.
