Synopsis:
Between giving up his super powers, confronting criminals from
outer space, and having problems with his girlfriend, it's a bad time
to be the Man of Steel in this sequel to the 1978 blockbuster. When
terrorists threaten to destroy Paris with a thermonuclear device as they
hold reporter Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) hostage, Superman (Christopher
Reeve) comes to the rescue and flings the weapon into space. However,
its blast outside the earth's orbit awakens Zod (Terence Stamp), Ursa
(Sarah Douglas), and Non (Jack O'Halloran), three villains from Superman's
home planet of Krypton who were exiled to outer space for their crimes. Zod
and his partners arrive on Earth and use their powers in a bid to take over the
U.S., and then the world. However, when Lois realizes that mild mannered
Clark Kent and Superman are actually the same person, he brings her to his
Fortress of Solitude, where his decision to marry Lois costs him his remarkable
strength. Without his super powers, how can Superman vanquish Zod and save
the world? Gene Hackman, Ned Beatty, Susannah York, and Jackie Cooper
return from the first film, which was shot at the same time as parts of the sequel.
