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.

“This is a superb work of cinematic art about a man who responded to tragedy by making himself into a hero for real.”  (Tim Appelo, AARP Movies for Grownups)

“One of the aspects that makes Super/Man so satisfying is that for a biographical film in which tragedy and loss play such a central part, it’s rich in evidence of hope and kindness, gratitude and the resilience of the human spirit.”  (David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter)

““Super/Man” is emotional, resilient, and inspiring, opening up private battles to the general public.”  (Matthew Creith, TheWrap)

“It is a rich and intensely moving experience.”  (Ed Gibbs, Time Out)
