Review Summary
Superman is back, and Richard Pryor plays Gus Gorman, a out of work man, who finds that he is a computer genius. When his boss at the company where he works finds out, he uses Gus to help him make lots of money using the weather, but Superman stops him. His boss, Robert Vaughn, finds some Kryptonite to use against him, and creates an indenty crisis. Meanwhile, Gus has devised the ultimate defense system. Lots of action and humor.
