With an IMDb score of 7.4/10 and 87% on Rotten Tomatoes from 4,307 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.
