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)
