Warner Bros. has released the official trailer for “Super/Man,” a documentary about the life of ‘Superman’ actor Christopher Reeve.

Directed by Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui,, “Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story” follows the late actor’s rise to superstardom as Superman, as well as his fight to find a cure for spinal cord injuries after he became a quadriplegic following a horse riding accident. Reeve’s family participated in the making of the doc, which includes personal archive material. Check out the trailer below:

“It is a gift. We’re so lucky,”

his son Matthew Reeve told Variety.

“We not only have his films to look at but a collection of home movies to dig up and go through and interviews on YouTube of him to pull up. Seeing things I hadn’t seen before didn’t change my perception of him but enhanced it…like some rare Australian interview done in 1977 that was uploaded and I didn’t know existed. It was pretty cool to see that and uncover a lot more material than we knew about.”

Bonhôte & Ettedgui previously worked together on the Alexander McQueen documentary ‘McQueen‘ and the Netflix paralympics documentary ‘Rising Phoenix’.

“Super/Man” will play in select theaters in the US on Sept. 21st 2024, followed by an encore presentation on Reeve’s birthday, Sept. 25th.

A wider theatrical/VOD release has yet been announced.
