Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story | Official Trailer

[@jstndi]

My dad had an accident in the pool (a simple dive jump) causing him exact paralysis as Christopher Reeves. It happened around the same time too. And when Christopher Reeves died, my dad died not long after. So everytime I see Christopher Reeves, I am always reminded of my dad. They are both Supermans in my eyes.

He is safe with me, child!

[@DeRockMedia]

im sorry to hear that, i used to get head injuries in my 20s, little did i know that i could of been paralyzed by some, Im very more health cautious now at a later part of my life.

I remember reading an interview with Christopher Reeve where he talked about being down and depressed in the early days of his injury, until Robin Williams walked into his hospital room, pointed at Reeve's tracheostomy tube and said "Nice tie." He said he immediately started laughing and knew that things could be OK. So sad that they're both gone. Can't wait to watch this.

[@timothyserabian5103]

Literally 2 weeks before he passed, I got to hear him give a speech in NJ. As luck would have it, I got the chance to ask him a question. I asked, “when you regain your ability to walk, what’s the first thing you’re going to do?” He laughed and said, “well, I hope I don’t fall down….but if I do, I’m getting right back up.” The one and only Superman in and out of costume.

Today's modern Hollywood is telling me I can't see myself on the big screen if the hero doesn't look like me. Well as a African American high school teen in 1978 I watched Superman with my dad on the big screen and immediately was struck in awe and overwhelming pride for this hero that looked nothing like me. You find your heroes and heroines in anybody that can touch your heart and fill your senses with purpose. That's what Christopher Reeve has always meant to me growing up and continues to do so today. The very best screen incarnation of Superman/Clark Kent, and without a doubt an even greater human being. Rest Well Legend.

[@jakemeyer8188]

Since the age of 5, my son's all-time favorite superhero was Falcon (and now Captain America) from the MCU. This decision was 100% of his own volition, based on his own experiences with the character. It never even occurred to him that Anthony Mackie wasn't the same color as he was. I'm glad to see more representation today, but no one has the right to dictate to us who are heroes should or shouldn't be. Christopher Reeve's Superman was an absolute legend for me and many others. You made a good choice.

[@ronburgundy3172]

[@MrFantastic23]

I am 48 years old. And I can remember exactly how I felt watching Superman as a kid and I really believed in Superman.

[@TomBeiter]

"Superman The Movie" was my Star Wars. I saw it in the theater twice, which may not sound like much, but it was unheard of in my family. We rarely went to the movies and to pay twice for the same movie was highly unusual. While other kids were going crazy over Star Wars, I was going crazy over Superman and Christopher Reeve. I collected the cards, fast food glasses, books, and magazines and I drew pictures of Christopher Reeve. I waited patiently for the tv broadcast and recorded it on VHS, watching the tape over and over until it was worn out. For my 50th birthday, my wife rented a theater and had them show Superman: The Movie. It still moves me and gives me chills to this day.

[@heartofalegend]

There are so many of us with a similar story to tell. This movie was life-changing. It can never be duplicated. Superman can never be anyone but Reeve. Others can play the part and do so enjoyably and admirably, but only Chris was perfect. Would anybody want to see Fonzie done by anyone but Henry Winkler? It'll never work. For me, that's how it'll always be with Superman. Christopher Reeve made me believe...and still does.

[@tommyc4641]

3:02 "I think a hero is an ordinary individual, who finds the strength to persevere and endure, in spite of overwhelming obstacles". This line holds so much wisdom and strength. I pray that everyone has happy and healthy lives. When ill health hits, it can make you realise how true heroes live amongst us in society, who deal with more hardship than we can imagine, that make our everyday struggles seem insignificant in comparison, yet persevere without making a fuss. To all of you I say, you are amazing and you are valued. Cherish life and your health, for it is truly precious. We need more stories like Christopher's brought to the light, that fictional heroes are nice but true heroes are those that live life and persevere. We should be learning from such valuable life experiences. I will be watching this in theatres.

Christopher Reeve as Superman was the first superhero portrayal I ever saw. After I got old enough to be able to separate the character from the actor, I remained a huge fan of his. The accident happened 9 days before I graduated high school and I was absolutely devastated for him and his wife and children. I can't even put into words how much I admired and was inspired by his courage, strength and determination that he showed in the final 9 years of his life. I so look forward to seeing his story on the big screen. RIP.

[@patriciacooper1308]

In 1990 I had a horrible horse accident in Vermont. Christopher Reeve came to the hospital when he heard about it. I looked up for my wheelchair I was sitting outside and there he was Superman! One thing that he told me that day has stuck with me it and actually saved my life two weeks ago. Christopher Reeve told me to never give up. All through the years since every time I thought like giving up that came to mind never give up never give up never give up. I have to say thank you because two weeks ago I was broken physically and mentally and I was ready to give up but the one thing that came to my mind was Christopher Reeve standing near that day telling me never give up. I'm thanking God that he took the time to come visit me at the hospital I would have given up probably by now. ❤

[@MoonRabbit_11]

Never give up!!! I wrote that on a scrap piece of paper and stuck it on my fridge several years ago.

I don´t know if i will be able to see this picture, because I grew up with Christopher Reeve, with Superman. I saw the film when I was 7, and Mr. Reeve was an idol for me. And I was destroyed when he fell from the horse and all the stuff that he suffered during his entire life. I cried right now, when I saw this trailer. Mr. Reeve is a part of me, of my develope like a man, a person. I think that if I go to see this film, I will cry all the time. But if he could smile in those dramatics moments, How can I not respect his legacy and his memory? The REAL superhero.

[@burtonryan50]

I saw it in the theaters yesterday. I enjoyed it very much. There were moments that made you laugh, and moments where you felt like a kid again with seeing clips from the Superman films. This documentary not only celebrated his life, but it truly gave something back to the fans. He was my hero who I looked up to as a kid. After he had been paralyzed, I had gotten together with my high school student council, and organized a fundraiser in his name for spinal cord injury research. We werent as successful, but knowing you made a difference made a lot of the difference. It makes me sad in a lot of ways because I never met him in real life, but I wish I had....especially towards the end. Being inside that theater, and seeing the last image of him....its funny because in that last moment, I feel I got to say goodbye to my hero. 🙂

The idea of Superheroes on the big screen has evolved a lot in the last 46 years, but Christopher Reeve's performance as Clark Kent/Superman is still the blueprint for how to do it successfully.

When I was 4 or 5 years old, I couldn’t walk for a whole year because of polyneuropathy. My nerves were damaged, and I couldn’t really feel or move my legs. It was a tough time, and I don’t remember everything ultra-clearly, but one of the things that stand out- I had a little sticker set of Superman and it was somehow always with me - in all the hospitals, at home and so on. I didn’t think much about it back then, but Superman kind of became a small symbol of hope for me until today. All the doctors said my legs wouldn't get better, and that I’d never walk again. But my mom and grandma never gave up and motivated me to practice every day- try standing up for 1 minute without anyone's help... another day try walking...and so on. And eventually I did it! So this documentary really hits me. Watching Reeve inspire others just feels so personal to me. I still have some issues with my legs, but I can walk and run now, just like any other person. And I’m so grateful for that. It’s amazing to see how Reeve kept inspiring people, even after everything he went through. I think he showed the world that even when life gets hard, you can still make a difference

And what makes this story more tragic: Dana Reeve his wife, such a true angel, took great care of him and passed away just 2 years after her husband. Because of lung cancer, but never smoked.

[@victoralay7002]

I'm from chile, and Christopher Reeve had in 87 a gesture worthy of the character he represented, that year he travelled to chile to support 77 actors threatened by the dictatorship of Pinochet, he came knowing the risk he was running, and it didn't matter, he had to do the right thing above all, worthy of Superman.

[@nitedrummer931]

I saw this last night at the movie theater. I left there speechless. The journey he went through and what he did and fought for to help others. Just amazing and inspiring gentleman! I have a tattoo of him as superman! He will always be the only superman in my mind! RIP Christopher and Dana Reeves!

what a great line from late Christopher Reeve : What is a hero?

You are always my forever superman.

Ok, I've watched this documentary just right now, and it was beyond beautiful. It has changed my perspective of the way I should live. I adore this with my soul. I was in depression, and laziness took over me, but now I believe that if Christopher Reeve could do this, then what is my excuse.

“A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” Just had a lump in my throat when I heard that.

[@PaulPayne837]

Watching this trailer brought me back to my childhood, where Christopher Reeve was more than just Superman-he was a beacon of hope in my little world. Seeing him smile made everything feel possible, like nothing could ever go wrong. It breaks my heart to remember that he left this world too soon, but his legacy lives on through the inspiration he gave so many of us. Thank you for reminding me of the strength and courage he embodied both on and off the screen. Truly, a hero forever.

[@republicofstephen]

Amen to that!

[@SekiThenics]

He was a real-life hero beyond the screen. His words, “So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable,” encapsulate his spirit. He showed the world that true strength lies not in physical power but in unwavering hope, courage, and compassion. Even after his passing, his legacy continues to remind us that heroes are made by their hearts, not their capes.

[@aperturelabs8552]

Christopher Reeve will always be the first and true Man of Steel. His transition from Clark to Superman and back is a timeless acting masterpiece. RIP Christopher, you really made us believe.

[@iazeemabbas]

I still remember when Christopher Reeve passed away; I was only 8 years old. Back then, I used to make up stories, telling myself and others that he died protecting Earth and would one day return. Sadly, that never happened. But as I grew older, I came to realize just how phenomenal an actor and person Christopher was-a real-life superhero. Rest in peace, Chris. Thank you for touching the hearts of so many. You are deeply missed. Rest in peace, and fly high. 🕊️

The fact that this documentary is the first production to be released by DC Studios is absurdly symbolic, the 1978 Superman film was the true beginning of this whole great history of superhero films, the father of superhero films, and nothing better than inaugurating DC Studios with this.

I was 7 when Superman came out. 53 now, but I remember vividly my mom seating me in the very back row center, told me not to go anywhere, and then go see another movie with my little sister. Superman was my first solo movie. I remember the opening credits had me giddy, and the Smallville sequences vividly stamped themselves into my memory with their dreamlike quality. The life Clark has on the farm is seared into my DNA. And Christopher Reeve through the years always brought a smile to my face. I would defend him in a knife fight.

I'm 54, and I vividly recall the day as a wee tyke when my aunt took me to see Superman. I was basically an orphan. But when I saw him on that screen - his smile, when he was flying, etc. And the ending credits when he was flying away, I felt "one day I'm gonna fly and soar" figuratively. His films were ever inspirational, including the "Somewhere in Time" with the awesome actress, Jane Seymour. Rest in Joy, Superman. 🌟🦸🏻🌟
