Superman II
ActionAdventureSci-Fi127 min
Three Kryptonian criminals escape the Phantom Zone and join forces with Lex Luthor, putting Earth in the path of an enemy as powerful as Superman himself. Christopher Reeve is back as the Man of Steel, now torn between his life as Earth's protector and his growing bond with Margot Kidder's Lois Lane. Terence Stamp's General Zod leads the invasion with cold authority, while Sarah Douglas and Jack O'Halloran round out the trio threatening Metropolis. The sequel leans further into Superman's split identity, pitting romance and ordinary life against a crisis that comes straight from Krypton.
