Superman IV: The Quest for Peace

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace

1987

The Man of Steel (Christopher Reeve) crusades for nuclear disarmament in the final and most politically correct installment of the Superman series. Prison escapee Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) swipes some of Superman's hair from a museum and uses it to clone a new nemesis, Nuclear Man -- an android that gets its energy from the sun.

Nuclear Power. In the best hands, it is dangerous. In the hands of Lex Luthor, it is pure evil. This is Superman's greatest battle. And it is for all of us.

  • I wanted to shoot Jon Cryer because that was the worst Keanu Reeves impersonation I've ever seen. I can respect the main plot of eliminating nuclear threats globally, but Nuclear Man I can never forgive.
