Superman (also known as Superman: The Movie) is a 1978 superhero film based on the DC Comics character of the same name. Richard Donner directed the film, which stars Christopher Reeve as Superman, as well as Gene Hackman, Margot Kidder, Marlon Brando, Glenn Ford and Ned Beatty.
The film depicts the origin of Superman, from infancy as Kal-El of Krypton and growing up in Smallville. Disguised as reporter Clark Kent, he adopts a mild mannered attitude in Metropolis and develops a romance with Lois Lane, while battling against the villainous Lex Luthor.

    Yes! I also remember the first time seeing this movie at a neighbor's house. There were 6 of us neighborhood kids. Each of us came with a parent, older sibling, aunt/uncle. That was the only house with a colored television and VCR, as they were called then in 1981. Understand that it's a rural town in backward country in Central Asia. You could all imagine the wonder and how we youngsters marveled at it all. Golden times! RIP Christopher Reeve.

    I was 5 years old as i got my first comic book and it was Superman. Believe it or not i learned to read by myself because i wanted to know what they were talking about in this comic book. This Superman movie was the first movie i have ever seen in a cinema as well. I was there with my parents. It was the only time i went to the cinema with them (long story) and it is one of my best memories of my childhood. Beside this i went through a lot of hard times as a kid and as a teenager as well but (beside someone else you surely know) Superman was always a torch of hope to myself,reminding me that if you believe and you are taking your fate in your hands better times will come. It was always Supermans character himself not his superpowers which made him to me a hero. The famous "S" on his chest stood truly as a symbol of hope to me and it still does. I wish for the kids nowadays that they made a similar experience like i did. All the best to you who ever read this.

    This is absolute GOLD! I was ten in 1978 when I watched in the best theater in town. I'm from Edmonton, Alberta and proud that is was partly shot in my home province. Christopher Reeves will always be Superman to me. Not just because he acted in the movie but the way he always carried himself off screen. Despite his paralyzing injury he persevered and gave hope to others. This is so well done Herve and my respects to you and your team for sharing this to all Superman fans like myself. Cheers!

    I had an hour or so to spare this past weekend, so I drove to the farm about 45 minutes away from my home. I'm not sure if there has been an issue with souvenir hunters, but the farmyard now has filled with dense caragana-type trees which makes viewing the yard from the road difficult. The barn is noticeably leaning now. That film meant alot to me growing up and still means alot to me today, albeit for different regions. I love these views of Alberta, and when I pass the King Eddie it always makes me giggle to know thats where Superman got shitfaced that one time. Great video, thanks for sharing!

    "This is no Fantasy" These are the first words Marlon Brando says at the beginning of Superman 1978 and these real world locations brought us from a Comic Fantasy into a Real World . As an 8 year old I got to see Superman when it first came out in 1978 . Christopher Reeve truly made me believe a man could fly.

It looked awesome on our Big Screen ! Thank you for bringing back so many memories for me :)

Luckily I've visited some of the same NY scenes at the exact spots. People looked at me curiously, as I put my hands together in the shape of a camera frame and panned (this was before smartphone cameras).

A short distance away was a large half model of the Golden Gate Bridge with a model school bus still on it, as was the helicopter still on the roof, I saw when a friend who worked in special effects ( in the film credits) took me around one day after the film had been made and the sets were still there.

After the film was done, a friend who worked at Pinewood took me around one day and the sets were still there with the helicopter still on the roof along with a large half-build of the Golden Gate Bridge on the back lot.

    Oh I hope someone buys up the farmhouse and restores it! Gr8 video! I remember seeing this back in 1978, as I was only born in 1975 I remember Superman flying after the rockets, my mum says not many 3 years olds are as good, but with a movie like Superman, I really thought a man could fly :)
