Kids Camp: Superman (1978)

Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound! “Look! Up in the sky!" "It's a bird!" "It's a plane!" "It's Superman!”

Well before the MCU took over cinema, director Richard Donner’s (THE GOONIES) SUPERMAN was setting the stage for what a superhero movie could be. The astounding visuals, the high-flying action, and the iconic performances by Christopher Reeve, Gene Hackman, and Margot Kidder all add up to THE formative comic book movie that would be often imitated but rarely topped for decades to come.

Unable to convince the ruling council of Krypton that their world will soon destroy itself, scientist Jor-El takes drastic measures to preserve the Kryptonian race by sending his infant son, Kal-El, to Earth. There, gaining great powers under Earth's yellow sun, Kal-El will become our planet’s greatest champion.

With powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men, Superman, who changes the course of mighty rivers, bends steel with his bare hands, and who, disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way!
