Introduction
In 1995, Reeve was thrown from a horse and broke his neck, leaving him paralysed and requiring a ventilator. Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui’s film charts the actor’s rise, astonishing success as the Man of Steel and offers incredible insights into how Reeve and his family’s life was forever changed and enriched in ways they could never have imagined.
