Christopher Reeve, known worldwide for his definitive portrayal of Clark Kent/Superman, soared from an obscure actor to a superstar. His embodiment of the Man of Steel across four “Superman” films redefined the superhero genre and set a gold standard for future cinematic universes. Beyond his role as Superman, Reeve’s extensive career showcased his versatility through a myriad of performances.
Tragically, in 1995, a devastating horse-riding accident left Reeve paralyzed from the neck down. Despite this life-altering event, he emerged as a powerful advocate for spinal cord injury research and disability rights. Alongside his wife, Dana Reeve, he tirelessly worked through the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation to improve the lives of those affected by paralysis. Their mission continues today, fostering hope and advancing medical research.
The film, directed by Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui—known for their work on “McQueen”—delves deep into Reeve’s life with unparalleled access to personal archives and intimate home videos. For the first time, Reeve’s three children share extended interviews about their father, offering a poignant perspective on his journey. Additionally, insights from Reeve’s colleagues and friends in Hollywood provide a comprehensive look at his impact both on and off the screen.
