Before cinematic universes ruled the box office, one hero taught Hollywood how to make audiences believe a man could fly. Truth, Justice, and the Blockbuster Way celebrates the rise of the modern superhero film—and the moment when spectacle, sincerity, and mythmaking collided on the big screen.
We’ll begin with Superman: “The Mad Scientist” (1941), a thrilling Fleischer Studios animated short that set a new standard for superhero animation with its dynamic action, cinematic scale, and groundbreaking visuals. That legacy soars forward with Superman: The Movie (1978), Richard Donner’s landmark feature that redefined the blockbuster by treating its hero with epic grandeur, emotional weight, and unwavering heart.
Take flight an electrifying night honoring the hero who showed audiences—and filmmakers—that comic book stories could be larger than life, deeply human, and worthy of the big screen. Up, up, and away!
Doors open at 7, show starts at 7:30pm.
