Family Flicks Film Series: Superman: The Movie

  • This is a past program

Recommended for ages 8+*

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s the big-budget update of the Man of Steel that turned a comic book hero into a blockbuster phenomenon 40 years ago. Starring a then-unknown Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent/Superman, director Richard Donner’s adaptation is an old-fashioned adventure featuring great special effects, an otherworldly hero, and a stellar cast, including Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman, and Marlon Brando. (1978, dir. Richard Donner, 144 min.)

*All ages are welcome. Feel free to take a break with infants and toddlers in the theater lobby.
