Superman trailer
Superman (1978), directed by Richard Donner, is a science fiction film and is available to stream on 9 services in the US. With an IMDb score of 7.4/10 and 87% on Rotten Tomatoes from 4,239 ratings, it has mixed-to-positive reviews. Released in 1978, the film is a recognisable touchstone of 1970s science fiction, and remains widely watched decades later.
The film stars Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, and Gene Hackman. At 144 minutes, it's a substantial commitment at over two hours. Plan accordingly: this is a movie that rewards a single sitting rather than being broken across multiple sessions.
If you're looking to watch Superman online, the best option is Max for subscribers, and it's also included with HBO Max Amazon Channel, so subscribers to any of those services can watch without an additional rental. Prefer not to add another subscription? You can also rent or buy it from Amazon Video, Apple iTunes, and Google Play Movies. If you're picking what to watch next, it shares a vibe with Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, both of which are available to stream right now.
