The Career and Courage of Christopher Reeve
In May 1995 Christopher Reeve's acting career was tragically cut short in a riding accident that left him paralysed below the neck. The man known the world over as Superman, who flew his own plane, sailed solo and hoped to take his horse-jumping to national level, was now confined to a wheelchair, his spine shattered.
This revealing biography of a major actor who has appeared in more than twenty films, over 100 plays and who has worked all his life for humanitarian causes is also the heroic story of a remarkable man who, when struck by a twist of fate that most of us can only imagine with a shiver, has made a decision not to accept that fate but to fight for full recovery, taking nothing less.
'Man of Steel' is a tribute to Christopher Reeve's unstoppable determination to fly in the face of medical odds. It is an optimistic tale of a defiant spirit determined to live life to the full.
