In Richard Donner's comic-book superhero classic:

• the image of the "Man of Steel" comic book Superman hero / alias bespectacled Clark Kent (Christopher Reeve) with red cape and tights soaring over Metropolis
• Superman's rescue of Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) as she fell from a helicopter and their conversation (Superman (politely): "Easy, miss. I've got you" Lois Lane (screaming): "You've got me? But who's got you?")
• their flight over the city with Lois in a blue chiffon evening gown to find out how fast he could fly while she recited the poem Can You Read My Mind
• the scene of Superman's flying chase next to an Army missile
• his saving resolution of various catastrophes when a Navy missile struck the San Andreas fault
• his anguished primal scream howl-reaction to Lois Lane's death (by suffocation) in her car following a massive earthquake
• the scene of his angry flight into the air to attempt to change the past with light-speed circumnavigation of the globe - to reverse time in order to bring Lois back to life
