Richard Donner's big-budget blockbuster
Superman: The Movie is an immensely entertaining recounting of the origin of the famous comic book character. Opening on Krypton (where
Marlon Brando plays
Superman's father), the film follows the Man of Steel (
Christopher Reeve) as he's sent to Earth where he develops his alter-ego Clark Kent and is raised by a Midwestern family. In no time, the movie has run through his teenage years, and Clark gets a job at the Daily Planet, where he is a news reporter. It's there that he falls in love with
Lois Lane (
Margot Kidder), who is already in love with
Superman. But the love story is quickly sidetracked once the villainous
Lex Luthor (
Gene Hackman) launches a diabolical plan to conquer the world and kill
Superman.
Superman: The Movie is filled with action, special effects and a surprising amount of humor.

Tribute to a Real Superman.
Christopher Reeve achieved real stardom when he was chosen to play Superman, a role he was born to play. This is how he will always be remembered. This movie contains seven minutes of additional footage never seen in it's original theatrical release. For all you fans of either of Christopher Reeve or Superman, you will enjoy this renewed version.
