About the Film
This movie was the first feature film starring the DC Comics superhero Superman.
It served as a pilot for the subsequent television series, Adventures of Superman, which also starred George Reeves and Phyllis Coates.
The plot involves reporters Clark Kent and Lois Lane investigating the world's deepest oil well drilling, which inadvertently leads to the discovery of subterranean beings (the "mole men").
The film explores themes of prejudice and fear, as the townspeople react violently to the appearance of the mole men, and only Superman can prevent a tragedy. |
