Superman (Christopher Reeve) foils the plot of terrorists by hurtling their nuclear device into outer space, but the bomb's shock waves free the Kryptonian villain General Zod (Terence Stamp) and his henchmen Ursa (Sarah Douglas) and Non (Jack O'Halloran) from their imprisonment. Traveling to Earth, they threaten the planet with destruction at the same time that Superman decides to renounce his superpowers in order to live a normal life as Clark Kent with his new love, Lois Lane (Margot Kidder).

Computer programmer Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor) is hired by financial tycoon Ross Webster (Robert Vaughn) to seize control of a weather satellite and annihilate Colombia's coffee crop.

But a missing unknown element in the kryptonite -- replaced by Gorman with tar -- causes an unintended side effect when presented to Superman.
Superman 4: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Seeing the United States and the Soviet Union engaged in a nuclear arms race that could lead to Earth's destruction, Superman (Christopher Reeve) decides that he must take action. He collects all the nuclear warheads from the world and throws them into space. Meanwhile, Superman's nemesis, Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman), has broken out of prison with a new scheme. He clones Superman with radioactive material to create Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow), a being just as powerful as the man of steel.

Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth) is engaged to a relative of his boss (James Marsden), and to make matters worse, his arch-nemesis Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) has contrived a plot to build a continent using the crystals of Krypton that will wipe out most of North America. Superman must again race against time to stop the psychopathic Luthor before it's too late.

Break of Noon (Partage de midi) is a collaborative attempt, edited
by Anthony Rudolf, at preparing an English-language edition of Paul
Claudel's remarkable and complex play, an unstable text which gave
Claudel many problems throughout his life. These are explored in
essays by David Furlong of Exchange Theatre in London, which put on
a production of the play in 2018 and John Naughton, a leading
authority on Claudel. The critical apparatus is completed by the
late Susannah York's essay on her own involvement with the play and
recounts her interaction with her fellow translator, Jonathan
Griffin. The instability of this strange and compelling work in its
various original versions is mirrored by the three critical essays
in the present work, which do not always see eye to eye. It is
thirty years since Jonathan Griffin died and nearly fifty years
since Pierre Rouve's Ipswich production of Jonathan's translation,
starring Ben Kingsley and Annie Firbank.
