Superman

Long before the era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and today's superhero blockbusters, Superman laid the foundations for the modern superhero film. Based on DC's iconic comic book hero, it tells the origin story of the Man of Steel—the infant sent from the doomed planet Krypton to Earth, where he is raised as Clark Kent and discovers his destiny to protect humanity. In Richard Donner's sweeping vision, Christopher Reeve delivers the definitive screen portrayal of Superman, elevated by John Williams' unforgettable score. Nearly 50 years after its release, the film still inspires the same sense of wonder and exhilaration, captivating new generations of audiences.
