Superman 4K 1978

Before their planet Krypton explodes, Jor-El and Lara send their son Kal-El to Earth in a capsule, where he is raised by the Kent farming couple. After the death of his adoptive father, the grown-up Clark Kent (Christopher Reeve) moves to the nearby Metropolis, where he works as a shy reporter for the Daily Planet. There he falls in love with his hectic, extrovert colleague Lois Lane (Margot Kidder). At the same time, he uses his superhuman powers to do good and fight crime as a Superman...

Some (film) myths seem to last forever. But hardly anyone has made it as far as the Superman traveling through the decades in his blue-red-yellow flight dress. His inventors Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster certainly hadn't expected this back in 1938 when they sold the rights to the figure for just $ 130 and slipped past a multimillion-dollar business.

Superman – The Movie was an instant box office hit, won Oscars and has been one of the fans' favorites ever since its theatrical release. Now available in 4K Ultra HD & Dolby Atmos/Dolby TrueHD 7.1 (48kHz, 24-bit), the film's legacy became even more valuable when director Richard Donner approached this popular adventure 22 years later, adding another eight minutes to the final cut. Reeve, Marlon Brando (Jor-El), Gene Hackman (Lex Luthor) and Margot Kidder (Lois Lane) show performances that have been super hard to overpass. A real classic and the prototype of modern comic book films. First and foremost, of course, a ""testimony to the times"" and irrefutable evidence of Christopher Reeve's pure talent.
