| Plot |
| The crazy death of a big Hollywood star is just the start of a scandal in this movie based on a true story. George Reeves was an small-time actor when he was cast as comic book hero Superman in a 1951 B-movie "Superman and the Mole Men". A year later, the producers launched a syndicated Superman television series with Reeves returning as the Man of Steel. The show became a major hit, and Reeves was a star at last. However, on June 16, 1959, to the shock of many, Reeves was found dead of a gunshot wound. Police soon declared Reeves' death a suicide and closed the case, but his mother refused to believe her son took his own life and hired Louis Simo, a private detective, to find out the truth about her son's passing. Simo found many Hollywood insiders did not care to cooperate as he researched the Reeves case, but his digging uncovered plenty of evidence suggesting the actor did not take his own life, and he also revealed one of Reeves's deepest secrets. |
