Did you know that the original Superman was portrayed by none other than Christopher Reeve, Class of 1974? But Reeve was more than just Superman. Join your fellow Cornellians to watch this very limited release documentary, Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story.

After the movie, we will gather at Tostadas Prime, which is a one-minute walk from the theater, for a no-host social to grab a drink and/or appetizers to reconnect and make new friends. Happy hour attendees will pay for their own drinks and food.

"The story of Christopher Reeve is an astonishing rise from unknown actor to iconic movie star, and his definitive portrayal of Clark Kent/Superman set the benchmark for the superhero cinematic universes that dominate cinema today. Reeve portrayed the Man of Steel in four Superman films and played dozens of other roles that displayed his talent and range as an actor, before being injured in a near-fatal horse-riding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the neck down. 

After becoming a quadriplegic, he became a charismatic leader and activist in the quest to find a cure for spinal cord injuries, as well as a passionate advocate for disability rights and care - all while continuing his career in cinema in front of and behind the camera and dedicating himself to his beloved family."
