Free Outdoor Screening of "Superman: The Movie" in New York City
Posted on May 23, 2024 by Neil Cole
The Friends of Corlears Hook Park invite Superman fans to grab a blanket and come enjoy a free screening of "Superman The Movie" under the stars at Corlears Hook Park in NYC on Friday, July 5th at 7:30PM courtesy of NYC Parks and The Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment.
One of the most well-regarded superhero films of all time, Superman was a box-office smash when it rocketed to Earth in 1978. The last son of the dead planet Krypton, Kal-El (Christopher Reeve) is found as a baby by Jonathan (Glenn Ford) and Martha Kent (Phyllis Thaxter) when his spaceship crashes just outside of Smallville, USA. Given the name "Clark" by his adopted parents, the boy grows up strong in the American heartland, developing amazing powers under the light of the yellow sun. One day, Clark finds a glowing crystal, and with it finds out about his alien heritage, the knowledge imparted to him by his birth father, Jor-El (Marlon Brando). The boy becomes a man, and moves to Metropolis to work for the Daily Planet newspaper, finding love in Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) and danger in the form of criminal genius Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman).
Movies begin at dusk. This event is free and open to the public. Glass bottles and alcoholic beverages are strictly prohibited. In the event of heavy rain or extreme weather, the screening may be canceled.
