The most iconic Superman movie of
all time charts The Man of Steel's story from the history of his home planet,
Krypton, to his childhood in rural Smallville to his life in Metropolis and his
alter-ego, the mild-mannered Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent. Just before the
destruction of the planet Krypton, scientist Jor-El (Marlon Brando) sends his infant son Kal-El on a spaceship to Earth.
Raised by kindly farmers Jonathan (Glenn
Ford) and Martha Kent (Phyllis
Thaxter), young Clark (Christopher
Reeve) discovers the source of his superhuman powers and moves to
Metropolis to fight evil. As Superman, he battles the villainous Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman), while, as novice
reporter Clark Kent, he attempts to woo co-worker Lois Lane (Margot Kidder). (USA, 1978, 143 mins, PG, English | Dir. Richard Donner)
