Directed by: Richard Donner

A box office smash, an Academy Award winner and a beloved fan favourite for more than a generation, Superman: The Movie now soars even higher as the movie now includes eight minutes integrated into the film by director Richard Donner. Among the highlights: added footage of the Krypton Council, a glimpse of veterans from previous Superman screen incarnations, a meeting with Jor-El that underscores the Man of Steel's purpose on Earth and an extended sequence inside Lex Luthor's lair. Christopher Reeve, unknown when cast, is flawless as the title hero and bumbling alter ego Clark Kent. And Marlon Brando (Jor-El), Gene Hackman (Lex Luthor) and Margot Kidder (Lois Lane) offer indelible performances that fuel the film's aura of legend.
