Introduction

Never-before-seen home movies and extraordinary personal archives reveal how Christopher Reeve went from unknown actor to iconic movie star and ultimate silver screen superhero. After a tragic accident left him quadriplegic and dependent on a ventilator, Christopher Reeve learned the true meaning of heroism as an activist. Filmmakers Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui skillfully move back and forth in time to weave a dual narrative that explores the life-changing moments of Christopher Reeve's career: his starring role in Superman in 1978 and his paralysis in 1995. Decades before superheroes took cinemas by storm, Reeve convinced the world that humans could fly; his accident brought disability to the forefront of global attention. In Super/Man, Reeve's family and friends react to life before and after the accident with extraordinary sincerity. The film deeply moves audiences and highlights the man behind Superman - not a biography, but a complete portrait that encompasses the highlights and darkness of Reeve's journey.
