Trailer
Superman
1978
The Man of Steel hits the big screen in director Richard Donner's special effects-laden, Oscar-nominated adventure. Mild-mannered Clark Kent (Christopher Reeve) works as a reporter at the Daily Planet alongside his crush, Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) -- who's in love with Superman. Clark must summon his superhero alter ego when the nefarious Lex Luthor (a scene-stealing Gene Hackman) launches a plan to take over the world. This 4-Disk Collector's Edition also includes Nine Fleischer Studios Superman cartoons, The 1951 movie Superman and the Mole-Men, and several other special features.
