Plot

On May 27th 1995, Christopher Reeve, known throughout the world for his role as Superman, was paralyzed from the neck down in a riding accident. This intimate portrait focuses on Chris' remarkable recovery of movement and his constant fight to fully regain his mobility.

Originally meant to be a three part series filmed by his son Matthew, Hope In Motion, and the subsequent documentary Choosing Hope follow Chris closely over many months of treatment and public campaigning for funds for stem cell research. Everyday aspects of his family life are combined with regular visits to a medical center, documenting his recovery beginning with the movement of a single finger.

Sadly, Chris died before his most fervent wish could come to pass. What emerges through this film is a portrait of an intelligent, determined, candid and outspoken man who was able to maintain his sense of humor in the face of adversity. His inspiring personality will shine through as you follow his unpredictable, emotional journey.

"Even though life is difficult, I'm a husband and a father. I have a wife and three children who mean the world to me. So on a personal level, I have much to live for. I also feel a responsibility to use my position on behalf of others who would never be heard." -Christopher Reeve
