This powerful documentary explores the life and career of 'Superman' actor Christopher Reeve, documenting the tragic accident that left him paralyzed and his consequent advocacy for people living with disabilities.

No matter which Superman you knew growing up, Christopher Reeve arguably captured the hero's spirit more than any other actor when he played him in the 1970s and 1980s.

Reeve was an icon: intelligent and humble, but also good-looking, athletic, and charming — and wholly convincing as the all-American superhero.

But in 1995, a horse riding accident left Reeve suddenly paralyzed from the neck down, an event that shocked the world. Reeve had to learn, alongside the millions who followed his story, what being a hero really meant.

This 2024 documentary from filmmakers Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui charts the truly inspiring story of this actor and advocate.
