What is the Plot of Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story?
Never-before-seen home movies and personal archives recount the tragic and redemptive story of actor and activist Christopher Reeve, best known for playing Superman in the ’70s and ’80s films. Following a near-fatal horse-riding accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down, Reeve devoted his life to disability rights, learning the true meaning of heroism.
The story of Christopher Reeve is an astonishing rise from unknown actor to iconic movie star, and his definitive portrayal of Clark Kent/Superman set the benchmark for the superhero cinematic universes that dominate cinema today. Reeve portrayed the Man of Steel in four ‘Superman’ films and played dozens of other roles that displayed his talent and range as an actor, before being injured in a near-fatal horse-riding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the neck down.
After becoming a quadriplegic, he became a charismatic leader and activist in the quest to find a cure for spinal cord injuries, as well as a passionate advocate for disability rights and care, all while continuing his career in cinema in front of and behind the camera, and dedicating himself to his beloved family.
The film was released in the United States on September 21, 2024, by Warner Bros. Pictures.
