Overview

Reporters Clark Kent and Lois Lane arrive in the small town of Silsby to witness the drilling of the world's deepest oil well. The drill, however, has penetrated the underground home of a race of small, furry people who then come to the surface at night to look around. The fact that they glow in the dark scares the townfolk, who form a mob, led by the vicious Luke Benson, intent on killing the strange people. Only Superman has a chance to prevent this tragedy.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A 1950s Superman adventure that trades spectacular action for intimate moral stakes, watching a hero stand alone against a frightened town to protect innocent others. It's earnest pulp about fear and compassion, brief enough to feel like a Saturday morning serial.
