Superman: The Movie [DVD] [1978]

A new, updated version of the popular comic book hero "Superman." The story begins with Superman's birth on the doomed planet Krypton and follows him on his arrival to Earth, his childhood in Kansas and his career as reporter for the Daily Planet.

Robert Greenwald's biopic of Abbie Hoffman, Steal This Movie, comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by many of the people involved in the film's production, interviews with cast and crew as well as the actual figures portrayed in the film, deleted scenes, storyboards, and the trailer. This is an excellent DVD release of a little-seen film.
