Academy Award winners Marlon Brando and Gene Hackman head an all-star cast in the fantastic, action-packed film that made Christopher Reeve an international star playing the greatest superhero of all time. From the doomed planet of Krypton, two parents launch a spaceship carrying their infant son to earth. Here he grows up to become Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for the Metropolis Daily Planet. But with powers and abilities far beyond those of ordinary men, he battles for truth and justice as Superman.
Superman: The Movie is set for a 4K Ultra HD release on November 6th.
Bill Wall says
I’m really impressed that they’re going all out for Superman: The Movie’s 40th anniversary. With the extended edition being released last year and being released back in theaters and now this for November.
But I which they’d give Superman 2 a little more love.
