Superman II

Superman II

1981

Three escaped criminals from the planet Krypton are about to test the Man of Steel's mettle. They can throw iron girders around with the same aplomb as Superman (Christopher Reeve), and they have Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) in their corner to run interference. Married to Lois Lane (Margot Kidder), the Man of Steel has, um, problems concentrating on the crisis at hand. ...

Miraculously freed from eternal orbit, the three outlaws from Krypton descend to earth, for the ultimate confrontation.
