"Superman: The Movie" Screening in McKees Rocks, PA
Posted on December 27, 2023 by Neil Cole
The Parkway Theater & Film Lounge in McKees Rocks, PA will present a 45th Anniversary screening of the 1978 blockbuster film, "Superman: The Movie" on Saturday, December 30th at 5:30pm (EST).
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).
The screening will be part of a double feature which will also feature a 50th Anniversray screening of the 1973 critically acclaimed crime film, "Mean Streets" starring Robert De Niro & Harvey Keitel and directed by Martin Scorsese.
Tickets for this special screening are $10.00 for one film or $15.00 for both and includes a bag of popcorn with each ticket purchase. For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit the Parkway Theater & Film Lounge Facebook page here.
