Discover the Journey of Christopher Reeve in Super/Man
Christopher Reeve: A Legendary Life
Husband. Father. Fighter. Hero.
The story of Christopher Reeve is an astonishing rise from an unknown actor to an iconic movie star. 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, showcasing his vast 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.
A Fighter Beyond Film
After becoming a quadriplegic, he emerged as a charismatic leader and activist in the quest to find a cure for spinal cord injuries. He advocated passionately for disability rights and care, all while continuing his career in cinema both in front of and behind the camera and dedicating himself to his beloved family.
A Unique Cinematic Experience
This film includes never-before-seen intimate home movies and an extraordinary trove of personal archive material, along with the first extended interviews ever filmed with Reeve’s three children about their father. The moving and vivid cinematic telling of Reeve’s remarkable story will resonate deeply.
Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story is produced by Passion Pictures (Searching For Sugar Man, The Territory) and Misfits Entertainment (McQueen, Rising Phoenix), and is in cinemas September 21 and 25.
