Science on Screen Presents SUPERMAN
Location: Coolidge Corner Theatre, 290 Harvard Street, Brookline
The Coolidge Corner Theatre wraps up this season’s Science on Screen series with SUPERMAN, the original superhero blockbuster starring Christopher Reeve, at 7:00 pm, Monday, May 12.

Clark Kent (Reeve), a reporter for the Daily Planet newspaper, has a secret identity: he’s Superman, a larger-than-life figure with great powers. He can fly, outrun a train, and lift a one-ton truck. His mission: “To fight for truth, justice, and the American Way.” But Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) has other ideas -- to sabotage a pair of nuclear missiles and use them to create an earthquake that will wipe out the California coastline. Superman must race against time and stop Luthor’s sinister plan before millions of innocents are killed.

Before the film, Max Tegmark, Associate Professor of Physics at MIT, will give a short talk on the science of superheroes. While MIT doesn't have courses like "Shooting Laser-Beams from the Eyes 101" or "Advanced Leaping of Buildings in a Single-Bound," it turns out there’s some real science behind these fantasies.

Science on Screen is co-presented by the Museum of Science, Boston and New Scientist magazine. All programs in this series are $9.75 regular admission or $7.75 for students, seniors, and Museum of Science members. Members of the Coolidge Corner Theatre get in free. Tickets are available at the box office or on-line at www.coolidge.org/science.

============================
A brand new season of Science on Screen starts in September '08. Stay tuned!
