"Superman The Movie" Screenings in Milford, MI in Tribute to Glenn Ford

Posted on November 09, 2025 by Neil Cole

The Milford Independent Cinema in Milford, MI will present three screenings of the 1978 blockbuster film, "Superman The Movie" starring Christopher Reeve, Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, and Glenn Ford as part of its "Salute to Glenn Ford" film series. The screenings will take place on Monday, November 10th, Wednesday, November 12th and Thursday, November 13th at 7:00pm (EST).

As part of the cinema's ongoing "Classics at the MIC" program, this special presentation pays tribute to the remarkable career of Glenn Ford, who appears in "Superman The Movie" as Jonathan Kent, the adoptive father of Clark Kent. The series celebrates Ford's contributions to film and his enduring connection to audiences across generations.

"Superman The Movie" remains one of the most influential films in cinematic history, credited with redefining the superhero genre and setting new standards for visual effects and storytelling. The film follows the journey of Kal-El, an infant sent from the doomed planet Krypton by his father Jor-El, portrayed by Marlon Brando. Raised on Earth by Jonathan and Martha Kent, the young Clark Kent grows into adulthood discovering his extraordinary powers and ultimately embracing his destiny as Superman. Opposite Christopher Reeve's iconic portrayal, Gene Hackman stars as the cunning villain Lex Luthor, and Margot Kidder shines as intrepid reporter Lois Lane.

This event offers audiences a rare opportunity to experience the film as it was meant to be seen - on the big screen. Presented in the comfortable, community-focused environment of Milford Independent Cinema, the screenings promise an evening of nostalgia and cinematic excellence.

Tickets for all three screening are available now through the Milford Independent Cinema website at MilfordCinema.org.
