The documentary follows Reeve's journey from a young actor with ambitions to a worldwide celebrity, starting with his iconic portrayal of Superman in the 1978 film. Reeve's performance in four Superman movies established a new standard for the character and cemented his status as a cinematic legend.
According to Deadline, the film explores the personal and professional struggles Reeve encountered, particularly the life-changing horse-riding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the neck down. Despite initial feelings of despair, Reeve's story is a testament to remarkable resilience. The documentary highlights how he transformed his experiences into a dedicated advocacy for disability rights and care, exemplifying a unique kind of heroism.
This also includes the first in-depth interviews with Reeve's three children, who share their personal recollections and reflections on their father.
The documentary adds depth to the narrative through interviews with several prominent figures from Hollywood, including Robin Williams, a close friend of Reeve's, who provides a heartfelt perspective on Reeve's personality and character.
The project is a collaboration with DC Studios, HBO Documentary Films, CNN Films, and Words+Pictures, according to Deadline.
