Superman (1978) is an American-British superhero film based on the DC Comics character of the same name, directed by Richard Donner directed the film and stars Christopher Reeve as Superman as well as Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, Margot Kidder, Glenn Ford, Phyllis Thaxter, Jackie Cooper, Marc McClure, Valerie Perrine and Ned Beatty. Superman is an immensely entertaining recounting of the origin of the famous comic book character. Opening on Krypton (where Brando plays Superman’s father), the film follows the Man of Steel 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, who is already in love with Superman. But the love story is quickly sidetracked once the villainous Lex Luthor launches a diabolical plan to conquer the world and kill Superman.
