Starring the iconic Christopher Reeve, supported by Marlon Brando and Gene Hackman and directed by Leathal Weapon supremo, Richard Donner, Superman is the standard that superhero films go by, despite its rather dated appearance now.
Filmed in 1978, this origin story is as faithful to backstory as any before or after.
Plot: A refugee from another planet crashes to Earth as an infant, is rescued and raised by a loving farm couple, grows up and saves the world with super powers.
Budget: $55,000,000
Gross: $300,218,018
Fun Fact: 3 sequels, 1 spin off (Supergirl) and a recent remake, Superman Returns. Possibly the most amazing element of the Superman story is the production, the fact that Supe's father in the film, Marlon Brando, only read the script when he arrived on set, earned $3,700,000 and got 11.75% of the gross.
