Superman - 4 Film Favorites

Astonishing Action. Bold Heroics.

Superman:

A box-office smash, an Academy Award and a fan favorite since it first flew into theatres, Superman: The Movie assembles a cast and creative contingent as only a big movie can. At its heart (and for three sequels) is Christopher Reeve´s intelligent, affectionate portrayal of a most human Man of Steel. The movie´s legacy soared even higher when director Richard Donner revisited this beloved adventure 22 years later and integrated eight minutes into the film.

Reeve, Marlon Brando (Jor-El), Gene Hackman (Lex Luthor) and Margot Kidder (Lois Lane) give performances that fuel the film´s aura of legend. Watching Superman again isn´t just like being a kid again. It´s better.

Superman II:

Unwittingly released from Phantom Zone imprisonment, three super-powered Planet Krypton criminals (Terence Stamp, Sarah Douglas and Jack O´Halloran) plan to enslave Earth - just when Superman (Christopher Reeve) decides to show a more romantic side to Lois Lane (Margot Kidder). Gene Hackman (as Lex Luthor) also returns from the first film and with a top supporting cast, witty Richard Lester direction and visuals that astound and delight, Superman II saves the day any day you watch it!

Superman III:

Meet Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor) a naive computer programming natural. For him a keyboard is a weapon - and, as a result, Superman faces the microelectronic menace of his life. Christopher Reeve reprises his signature role, deepening his character´s human side as Clark Kent sees Lana Lang (Annette O´Toole) at a Smallville High Class Reunion. And when the Man of Steel becomes his own worst enemy after Kryptonite exposure. Reeve pulls off both roles with dazzling skill. Relive Superman III in all its heart, heroism and high-flying humor.

Superman IV: The Quest For Honor:

Christopher Reeve not only dons the title hero´s cape for the fourth time but also helped develop the movie´s provocative theme: nuclear disarmament. To make the world safe for nuclear arms merchants, Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) creates a new being to challenge the Man of Steel: the radiation-charged Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow). The two foes clash in an explosive extravaganza that sees Superman save the Statue of Liberty, plug a volcanic eruption of Mount Etna and rebuild the demolished Great Wall of China. Your quest for excitement is over!
