For the Superman completist, a bumper
collection of all four SUPERMAN films starring the incomparable
Christopher Reeve. SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE sees the birth of a legend as we
are introduced to the titular superhero and his Kryptonian origins. Also
included is the extended director's cut, which features an additional
eight minutes of screen time. This is followed by SUPERMAN II in which
our boy in blue must do battle with three escaped super criminals bent
on destroying the earth. Presented here in both its theatrical and
director's cut versions, the latter is expanded by an alternate
beginning and ending, as well as 15 minutes of restored footage of
Marlon Brando as Jor-El. In the third instalment in the franchise,
SUPERMAN III, Superman learns of his Achilles heel when he is exposed to
kryptonite. Rounding off the set is SUPERMAN IV, in which the Man of
Steel takes on Nuclear Man, culminating in an explosive showdown of epic
proportions.
