Superman III
“If the world's most powerful computer can control even Superman...no one on earth is safe.”
ComedyScience FictionActionAdventure
Aiming to defeat the Man of Steel, wealthy executive Ross Webster hires bumbling but brilliant Gus Gorman to develop synthetic kryptonite, which yields some unexpected psychological effects. Between rekindling romance with his high school sweetheart and saving himself, Superman must contend with a powerful supercomputer.
VIBE
This film feels like an earnest, yet distinctly 80s, superhero romp. It balances classic Man of Steel heroics with a charmingly goofy, almost slapstick comedic tone, while exploring Superman's unexpected internal struggle. Expect a blend of light adventure and retro sci-fi camp.
