Strength, flight, invincibility, heat vision, an unanswering sense of justice: they're all family traits. Kara, Superman's cousin, also survived the cataclysm that destroyed their homeworld of Krypton. And when she comes to Earth, she's Supergirl!
Creative forces behind Superman: The Movie takes another page from DC Comics lore with this fun and effects-packed adventure about the Girl of Steel. Helen Slater plays the title role, posing as Midvale prep-schooler Linda Lee, battling a sorceress (Faye Dunaway) for eternal control of an alien power orb and enjoying an unexpected dating ritual called kissing. Peter O'Toole and Mia Farrow add more star power to the ultrapowered excitment. All you in Midvale and beyond, have no fear: Supergirl is here! |
