Superman

Superman (CHRISTOPHER REEVE), or Kal-El as he was named, was born on the planet Krypton, the son of that society's leading scientist, Jor-El (MARLON BRANDO), and his wife, Lara (SUSANNAH YORK). when Jor-El discovered that Krypton was doomed to explode, he worked against time, building a spaceship to save his infant son. On the fatal day of Krypton's destruction, the baby Kal-El was launched through a time warp to the distant, less civilized planet Earth. To disguise his true identity, he became Clark Kent, meek, mild-mannered reporter for the Metropolis Daily Planet. Even Lois Lane (MARGOT KIDDER), whom he loves, and Perry White (JACKIE COOPER), the Planet's tough, no-nonsense editor, are unaware that the fumbling, bumbling Kent and the Man of Steel are the same. It is a secret he must always keep, essential to his continuing fight against crime and the protection of the weak and innocent. Whatever Clark Kent is doing, anywhere, at any time, he knows that he must soar into action when the call rings out for Superman!
