SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE, directed by Richard Donner, from a screenplay by Mario Puzo, David Newman, Leslie Newman and Robert Benton, opens nationally. Powered by John William's heraldic theme & Christopher Reeve's charismatic performance, Donner's take on the man of steel ethos, some forty plus years later, continues to hold pride of place in the superhero movie canon.With Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman and Ned Beatty.
