With Superman, director Richard Donner made audiences believe a man could fly - and ushered in a new era of cinematic superheroes, brought to the screen with majesty and wonder. Elevated by John Williams' iconic score, the titular Kryptonian—portrayed with humanity and earnest sincerity by the incomparable Christopher Reeve—won an Academy Award for Special Achievement.

An alien orphan is sent from his dying planet to Earth, where he grows up to become the mild-mannered Clark Kent. Kent works as a reporter at the Daily Planet alongside his crush, Lois Lane. Soon, he becomes Superman, his adoptive home's first and greatest superhero.
