With global superpowers engaged in an increasingly hostile arms race, Superman leads a crusade to rid the world of nuclear weapons. But Lex Luthor, recently sprung from jail, is declaring war on the Man of Steel and his quest to save the planet. Using a strand of Superman's hair, Luthor synthesizes a powerful ally known as Nuclear Man and ignites an epic battle spanning Earth and space.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace Ratings & Reviews

  • mcloumJuly 18, 2025
    Truly awful.
  • JoelJuly 3, 2025
    Bad movie, but not offensively so. Dumb as balls but I had some fun with it.
  • NETNIX-λJanuary 4, 2025
    Plex removed my original review for Superman IV because I suggested, something to the effect, that Christopher Reeve’s horse had probably seen the movie before the accident….and APPARENTLY, that offended some people. Well…Christopher Reeve offended far more people with this movie, and no one made him take THAT down."
