FADE IN
TITLE CARD: This movie is dedicated with love and respect to GEOFFREY UNSWORTH, O.B.E.
INT. MOVIE THEATRE
The scene is dark, as the curtains draw back. The black screen shows: JUNE 1938
An ACTION COMICS comic book appears as a BLACK AND WHITE movie begins, with a hand that opens the comic book up and begins to FLIP through it.
LITTLE GIRL NARRATOR (V.O.)
In the decades of the 1930s, even the great city of METROPOLIS was not spared the ravages of the world-wide DEPRESSION. And at times of fear and confusion, the job of informing the public was the responsibility of the DAILY PLANET.
INT. - ANGLE on DAILY PLANET WITHIN THE COMIC BOOK
LITTLE GIRL NARRATOR (V.O.)
(reads from the text within)
A great metropolitan newspaper, whose reputation for clarity and truth...
CAMERA LOOKS DOWN on the Daily Planet Globe comic panel, which starts to BLUR.
LITTLE GIRL NARRATOR (V.O.)
(starts to echo)
...had become a symbol of hope for the city of METROPOLIS...
EXT. THE DAILY PLANET GLOBE - NIGHT
BLACK AND WHITE scene. CAMERA PANS forward to the GLOBE that has the rotating 'DAILY PLANET' sign around it. CAMERA then TILTS toward the star-filled sky and the full moon, and TAKES OFF.
CUE SUPERMAN THE MOVIE CREDITS
EXT. SPACE
CAMERA SPEEDS through outer space.
EXT. SPACE NEAR KRYPTON
A miniscule RED DOT appears, growing larger, spreading evenly into a BLAZING RED SUN, which fills the SCREEN. Then we pass down through space and go past its south pole, and see what is beyond the RED SUN - the planet KRYPTON. A BLUE MARBLE that slowly appears to have patches of white, as the CAMERA continues FORWARD and DOWN.
As the CAMERA CONTINUES toward KRYPTON, we see white crystalline structures amidst the white surface of the planet. CAMERA HOLDS, LOOKING DOWN at the city of Kryptonopolis. There are other cities visible in the distance, and a crater as well.
EXT. KRYPTONOPOLIS - DAY
CAMERA PANS across the white, prismatic mountains of the city.
As we get CLOSER we see Kryptonopolis is constructed of pure white crystalline matter. We see spires at a severe angle, the CAMERA TRACKS across futuristic glass buildings, tunnels, and other structures, finally heading towards a specific white dome. The CAMERA CLOSES IN on the domed roof of the building:
JOR-EL (O.S.)
This is no fantasy. No careless product of wild imagination.
Now DISSOLVES THROUGH:
INT. TRIAL CHAMBER - DAY
A giant FACE on a wall fills the SCREEN. The figure of JOR-EL, dressed in black, can be seen with his back to us.
JOR-EL
No, my good friends.
JOR-EL turns around, so that his features are now visible. He has a handsome, intelligent face along with distinguished WHITE HAIR.
JOR-EL
These indictments (holding a transparent crystalline wand whose tip lights up and GLOWS) that I have brought you today. (GLOWING ends) Specific charges listed herein against the individuals. (He holds up the wand horizontally in both hands as he walks) Their acts of treason, their ultimate aim of sedition. (pause) These...are matters of undeniable fact.
The figure of JOR-EL fills the SCREEN as he points his wand. His House crest can be seen on his chest. The CAMERA shows on the wall the giant FACES of the COUNCIL OF ELDERS who watch the proceedings in judgement, presumably from some other location.
WIDE ANGLE - TRIAL CHAMBER
A circular white column of light is in the midst of the chamber. Trapped inside, thanks to two black ROTATING HOOPS, are THREE FIGURES dressed in black. JOR-EL circles the edge of the column of light, with the GIANT FACES of the ELDERS in the B.G.
JOR-EL
I ask you now to pronounce judgement on those accused...
(gestures to the THREE FIGURES, and starts to walk around)
On this...this mindless aberration...
CLOSE ON NON
The tall, bearded face of NON peers through the light at JOR-EL.
JOR-EL'S VOICE
...whose only means of expression are wanton violence and destruction. (pause) On the woman, URSA...
CLOSE ON URSA
A short brunette woman wearing red lipstick. Silent, she stares back at JOR-EL with what appears to be contempt.
JOR-EL'S VOICE...
...whose perversions and unreasoning hatred of all mankind...
CAMERA switches back to JOR-EL
JOR-EL
...have threatened even the children of the planet Krypton...
JOR-EL walks around to face GENERAL ZOD, a short man staring at the floor with a Van Dyke beard; he briefly looks up and faces his jailer as JOR-EL starts to speak, as the CAMERA PANS toward him.
JOR-EL
Finally, General Zod. Once trusted by this Council, charged with maintaining the defense of the planet Krypton itself. Chief architect of this intended revolution and author of this insidious plot to establish a new order amongst us. With himself as absolute ruler.
GENERAL ZOD glances at JOR-EL. The huge FACES of the COUNCIL OF ELDERS peer down from the wall as JOR-EL finishes.
JOR-EL
You have heard the evidence. The decision of the Council will now be heard.
Silence. CAMERA PANS UP to the faces. The FIRST ELDER pauses momentarily.
FIRST ELDER
Guilty.
CLOSE-UP OF GENERAL ZOD'S EYES
OTHERS ELDERS' VOICES
(in rapid succession)
Guilty.
INT. TRIAL CHAMBER - DAY
The last ELDER votes "guilty" and the wall becomes a black void. All that is left are JOR-EL, and the PRISONERS within the white light and the black ROTATING HOOPS.
TIGHT ANGLE ON GENERAL ZOD
ZOD
(cold stare)
The vote must be unanimous, Jor-El. It has therefore now become your decision.
(JOR-EL stares blankly)
ZOD
You alone will condemn us if you wish. And you alone will be held responsible by me.
JOR-EL stares, then the crystal wand's tip GLOWS. CAMERA transfers onto the eyes of NON, URSA and ZOD in quick succession. CAMERA then focuses back on JOR-EL.
ZOD
Join us.
The crystal wand tip stops glowing, and without expression JOR-EL turns away and starts to leave.
ZOD
You have been known to disagree with the Council before. Yours could become an important voice in the new order, second only to my own! I offer you a chance for greatness, Jor-El! Take it! Join us!
JOR-EL continues to walk towards the CAMERA, his back to the PRISONERS. ZOD's face twists with rage.
ZOD
You *will* bow down before me, Jor-El. I swear it! No matter that it takes an eternity...
INT. TRIAL CHAMBER - DAY
The VILLAINS are alone in the trial chamber.
ZOD
(rants with a look of pain as well as rage on his face)
You *will* bow down before me!
CLOSE-UP ON ZOD
ZOD
Both you, and then one day, your heirs!!!
INT. TRIAL CHAMBER - DAY
The VILLAINS look up, concerned. The domed roof of the building cracks open, and starts to swivel back. We see the column of light is on a round black platform within the TRIAL CHAMBER. The VILLAINS now look even more concerned, as the white column of light extends into the sky as the dome eventually stops moving.
EXT. HIGH ABOVE KRYPTON - DAY
A crystal pane-like shape (THE PHANTOM ZONE) travels rapidly through the sky, tumbling end over end, approaching the VILLAINS. The VILLAINS look more afraid than ever. The Phantom Zone enters through the open dome, closes down on them. The Phantom Zone then envelops the VILLAINS, who raise their arms and scream as it gathers them up in a linear, two-dimensional fashion, then sweeping upwards after the CAMERA briefly SWIRLS AROUND.
EXT. CITY AND SPACE
The Phantom Zone travels quickly across the sky, bearing the imprints of the THREE VILLAINS, as it heads towards outer space. Their voices can be heard pleading for help and forgiveness as it does so.
EXT. KRYPTON
CAMERA focuses on Kryptonopolis for a few moments.
INT. COUNCIL CHAMBER - DAY
We see a pristinely immaculate area that contains two ROTATING HOOPS which glow white and, within, a revolving intelligence source which presents some sort of information. The ELDERS stand either alone or in groups. JOR-EL is now dressed like the others, with an electric WHITE AURA and his House crest clearly visible. He appears deeply concerned.
FIRST ELDER
(friendly)
An unpleasant duty has been masterfully performed, Jor-El. They have received the fate they deserved. Isolation in the Phantom Zone - an eternal living death.
JOR-EL
(holding the lapels of his white robe as in the B.G. other ELDERS talk)
A chance for life, nonetheless. As opposed to us.
There is instant consternation from the ELDERS, as everyone focuses on him.
JOR-EL
(suddenly angry)
It's suicide! No, it's worse. It's genocide!
FIRST ELDER
(no longer friendly)
Be warned, Jor-El. The Council has already evaluated this outlandish theory of yours.
JOR-EL
My friends, you know me to be neither rash nor impulsive. I'm not given (starts walking) to wild, unsupported statements. And I tell you that we must evacuate this planet immediately!
FIRST ELDER
Jor-El, you are one of Krypton's greatest scientists...
SECOND ELDER
Ah, yes, but so is (gesturing) Vond-Ah.
VOND-AH
(comes forward, an elegant brown-haired woman of middle age. There is no House crest on her chest. She stares at the revolving intelligence source before looking to JOR-EL)
It isn't that I question your data. The facts are undeniable.
JOR-EL stares at her as VOND-AH walks around the intelligence source, and then smiles thinly at him.
VOND-AH
(gesturing at the intelligence source, but still looking at JOR-EL)
It's your conclusions I find unsupportable.
JOR-EL
(stares at VOND-AH as she comes to a halt before him)
This planet will explode within 30 days. If not sooner.
There is consternation again amongst the ELDERS.
VOND-AH
I tell you Krypton is simply shifting its orbit.
SECOND ELDER
(coming forward)
Jor-El, be reasonable.
JOR-EL
(coming forward to him)
My friend. (places his hands on the ELDER's shoulders) I have never been otherwise. This madness is yours.
FIRST ELDER
(snaps firmly)
This discussion is terminated. The decision of the Council is final.
There is a short pause. All the other ELDERS and VOND-AH gather together, standing away from JOR-EL.
FIRST ELDER
(to JOR-EL)
Any attempt by you to create a climate of fear and panic among the populace must be deemed by us an act of insurrection.
JOR-EL
(looks angry)
You would accuse me of insurrection? Has it now become a crime, to cherish life?
FIRST ELDER
You would be banished to endless imprisonment in the Phantom Zone - the eternal void, which you yourself discovered.
There is momentary silence. The FIRST ELDER maintains eye contact with JOR-EL.
FIRST ELDER
Will you abide by the Council's decision?
JOR-EL
(closes his eyes in seeming despair, pauses and then grabs his lapels again as he opens his eyes)
I will remain silent. Neither I nor my wife will leave Krypton.
The FIRST ELDER stares at him, and finally seems to accept this. He looks away though, troubled, and then exits to JOR-EL's left. Frowning, the SECOND ELDER follows him. The rest of the ELDERS follow, as JOR-EL looks deep in thought. The intelligence source VANISHES as the last two ELDERS leave, leaving JOR-EL to stare at his departing colleagues before looking at the two ROTATING HOOPS of white light.
EXT. KRYPTONOPOLIS - NIGHT
The RED SUN seems to be more active than before, with some solar flares to be seen rising from its surface. Again we see there are other Kryptonian cities in the background to Kryptonopolis. DISSOLVE INTO:
INT. JOR-EL'S LABORATORY - NIGHT
Massive brightly glowing energy columns encircle the lab. The CAMERA PANS around them to show LARA (JOR-EL'S wife) walking along. Like VOND-AH she has no House crest on her chest. Carried in her arms is a BABY, swaddled in three blankets of red, blue, and yellow. The BABY makes baby noises as she walks. JOR-EL works in the lab, no longer wearing his robe.
ANGLE ON LARA
The sad look on LARA'S face deepens as she stops and watches JOR-EL, who senses her presence and turns.
LARA
(briefly stares at the BABY)
Have you finished?
ANGLE ON JOR-EL
JOR-EL starts walking. To one side we see a gleaming, crystalline, spike-y object in two halves (a Kryptonian rocket ship).
JOR-EL
Nearly. (comes to a halt before LARA, a crystal in his hands) It's the only answer Lara. If he remains here with us, he will die as surely as (looking down at the crystal) we will.
LARA
(pleading)
But why Earth, Jor-El? They're primitives, thousands of years behind us.
JOR-EL
He will need that advantage to survive. Their atmosphere will...will sustain him.
JOR-EL looks at his son, briefly smiles in pain and walks over to the area where the ship that will carry the BABY lies. There are information crystals placed in slots on the edges.
LARA
(walks after him, carrying the BABY)
He will defy their gravity.
JOR-EL
He will look like one of them.
LARA
He won't *be* one of them.
JOR-EL
No. His dense molecular structure will make him strong.
(looks at the rocket ship)
LARA
(looks down)
He'll be odd. (stares at JOR-EL again) Different.
JOR-EL
He'll be fast. Virtually invulnerable.
LARA
(staring at him)
Isolated. Alone.
JOR-EL
(sighs, looking down at the transparent crystal in his hands)
He will not be alone.
(holds up the crystal, and takes a long look at it)
He will never be alone.
JOR-EL places it in one of the slots along with the other crystals in the ship.
INT. COUNCIL CHAMBER - NIGHT
The COUNCIL of ELDERS, back in session, listen attentively to a hologram of a masked, glowing MILITARY OFFICER standing before them within the two ROTATING HOOPS of white light.
CLOSE ON OFFICER'S MASKED FACE
MILITARY OFFICER
The energy input to Jor-El's quarters is now in excess. Our data indicates the loss is due to a mis-use of energy.
INT. COUNCIL CHAMBER - NIGHT
The FIRST ELDER exchanges a worried glance at the SECOND ELDER, then looks back at the OFFICER.
FIRST ELDER
Investigate.
SECOND ELDER
And if the investigation proves correct?
FIRST ELDER
(dramatic pause)
He knew the penalty he faced. Even as a member of this Council.
(The SECOND ELDER looks distraught but resigned)
The law will be upheld.
The MILITARY OFFICER vanishes.
EXT. KRYPTONOPOLIS - DAY/NIGHT
The RED SUN now seems to be more active, with more solar flares to be seen rising from its surface.
EXT. JOR-EL'S LABORATORY - NIGHT
The CAMERA PANS towards the windows of the laboratory
INT. JOR-EL'S LABORATORY - NIGHT
CAMERA CLOSE on JOR-EL, LARA, and the BABY, as the parents stare at their offspring. Baby noises are heard. LARA kisses their child on the head as she tearfully hands him to his father. JOR-EL holds his son, troubled, and briefly kisses him on the head too before placing him the lower module of the rocket ship.
JOR-EL
(staring sadly down at his son, as does LARA)
You will travel far...my little Kal-El.
(puts his arm around LARA, who does the same)
But we will never leave you. Even in the face of our deaths.
(KAL-EL looks around, blissfully ignorant of what is to come)
The richness of our lives shall be yours. All that I have, all that I've learned, everything I feel, all this and more I...I bequeath you, my son.
(rubs the child's head lovingly)
You will carry me inside you, all the days of your life. You will make my strength your own, see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine.
(pause)
The son becomes the father and the father the son.
(KAL-EL whines)
This is all I...all I can send you...Kal-El.
(JOR-EL looks solemn and LARA looks like her heart is being torn out, as the baby reaches up and tries to grab the crystals and play with them. LARA places her head on JOR-EL's chest in pain as her husband tries to smile and be strong for her)
EXT. KRYPTONOPOLIS - DAY/NIGHT
The RED SUN now seems to be spewing out more intense solar flares.
INT. JOR-EL'S LABORATORY - NIGHT
The massive energy columns throb with white light. A GREEN CRYSTAL rises out of the central scientific control column. JOR-EL takes it, then turns and steps towards the rocket ship. LARA is still touching their son as JOR-EL places the last crystal inside. A tremor then takes place, as both JOR-EL and LARA look up. JOR-EL quickly heads over to the console again, pressing some buttons as crystalline glass starts falling from the ceiling. The massive energy columns flicker and go out.
EXT. KRYPTONOPOLIS - NIGHT
The RED SUN is much larger in the background now, and lights appear to flash within the city.
INT. JOR-EL'S LABORATORY - NIGHT
JOR-EL joins LARA and holds her as more crystals fall from the ceiling. KAL-EL, wrapped in his blankets, eventually vanishes from sight as the lower module finally slides into the upper part of the spacecraft and is sealed in. One of the columns flashes brilliantly, and the room shakes with a violent tremor. The energy columns flash brightly.
EXT. CITY - DAY/NIGHT
Another tremor suddenly shakes the ground - a tall spire comes crashing down. The proximity of Kryptonian RED SUN has bathed the planet in a reddish glow. NOTE: all scenes on KRYPTON, both interior and exterior, from now on reflect this color.
INT. COUNCIL CHAMBER
The ELDERS look concerned as the destruction starts to take place.
EXT. CITY - DAY/NIGHT
More structures come crashing down, bathed in that hellish red glow.
INT. COUNCIL CHAMBER
The ELDERS look around in concern and disbelief as the tremors grow worse, and the room starts shaking itself apart.
EXT. KRYPTONOPOLIS - DAY/NIGHT
The RED SUN is even larger in the background now, bathing the planet in light.
INT. JOR-EL'S LABORATORY - DAY/NIGHT
The tremor continues in the lab. More crystal fragments crash down into the room as JOR-EL hits the control which activates the ship's take-off. The spike-y circular rocket ship starts to glide upwards as JOR-EL rejoins LARA, holding her as the ship blasts through the ceiling, the crystal roof shattering, falling to the floor and letting in that intense red sunlight.
EXT. KRYPTONOPOLIS - CLOSE ON MODULE
The ship races away from the disintegrating city, as two explosions rock Kryptonopolis. The CAMERA PANS down through the windows and we see JOR-EL and LARA watching the rocket taking KAL-EL away safely, as the massive energy columns pulse alongside them.
INT. JOR-EL's LABORATORY
JOR-EL and LARA start walking, hurrying away even though they know there's nowhere to run to. A massive crystalline spire unexpectedly bursts up through the floor.
INT/EXT. KRYPTONOPOLIS
The destruction continues.
INT. JOR-EL'S LABORATORY
JOR-EL and LARA hurry through a cascading shower of debris, clinging together desperately in their final moments.
EXT. KRYPTONOPOLIS
More scenes of destruction, as the city starts to collapse and people fall to their deaths in the chasms. Screaming is heard everywhere.
SPACE - RED SUN and KRYPTON
The rocket ship hurries away, leaving both celestial bodies behind.
INT/EXT. KRYPTONOPOLIS
More destruction as the Kryptonians futilely run for their lives. The white dome of the TRIAL CHAMBER starts sinking down out of sight. Thunder and lightning is present.
INT. COUNCIL CHAMBER
The ELDERS all start to die as the CHAMBER collapses completely. The FIRST ELDER gets killed by a collapsing spire, and the SECOND ELDER goes down with a look of horror on his face as well.
EXT. KRYPTONOPOLIS - DAY/NIGHT
The COUNCIL CHAMBER begins sinking out of sight.
INT/EXT. KRYPTONOPOLIS
JOR-EL and LARA run helplessly, like all the other Kryptonians. There is intense screaming to be heard everywhere. The path beneath them collapses and JOR-EL barely pulls LARA back in time before she falls to her death.
EXT. KRYPTONOPOLIS - DAY/NIGHT
The RED SUN now dominates the SCENE, obscenely huge and pulsing. A subterranean explosion takes place, and then another and then another, ejecting plumes of matter onto KRYPTON'S surface not far away from the crumbling city.
INT/EXT. KRYPTONOPOLIS
More people plunge to their deaths, screaming and shrieking as the city and the planet begins to be torn apart.
SPACE - ANGLE ON KRYPTON AND RED SUN
The CAMERA faces both the sun and the planet when suddenly - an incredible explosion takes place, which violently sends out fragments of what had once been a living world in all directions, some of which are red or white or green or gold, and leaving behind a vast black void. NOTE: The RED SUN is no longer present after the explosion.
EXT. SPACE - CLOSE ON SHIP
The rocket ship speeds through space to the accompaniment of steady electronic pulsings.
EXT. SPACE
The THREE VILLAINS, pressed against the linear Phantom Zone, watch the ship hurtle past.
VILLAINS
(muffled echoes)
No...stop...come back...
INT. SHIP
Crystals in the background, there is soft lighting seen as KAL-EL floats within the rocket ship.
COMPUTER
(JOR-EL'S VOICE)
...which Einstein called his Theory of Relativity. Embedded in the crystals before you, is the total accumulation of all literature and scientific fact from dozens of other worlds, spanning the 28 known galaxies...
EXT. SPACE
The ship voyages on through space, passing through the limitless void for a long time. It passes by/through a red glowing spherical body.
INT. SHIP
KAL-EL has grown, and can be seen in the red light of the interior.
COMPUTER
(JOR-EL'S voice)
Early Chinese writings point out the complex relationship between...
EXT. SPACE
The rocket ship continues on.
INT. SHIP
COMPUTER
(JOR-EL'S voice)
By carrying this complex equation to its ultimate power, one can...
(later, KAL-EL has his eyes closed with the white crystals in the B.G.)
Chief among these powers will be your sight, your strength, your hearing. Your ability to propel yourself at almost limitless speed. The early history of our universe was a bloody mosaic of interplanetary war...
EXT. SPACE
The ship is travelling through space: the planet Saturn becomes visible as the vessel enters the SOLAR SYSTEM.
INT. SHIP
COMPUTER
(JOR-EL'S VOICE)
Each of the six galaxies which you will pass through contain their own individual law...
(later)
...space and time. It is forbidden for you to interfere with human history...
EXT. LOCAL SPACE, CONTAINING EARTH and the MOON
The ship enters Earth's atmosphere.
INT. SHIP
KAL-EL is awake and aware of his surroundings.
EXT. SHIP
As the ship speeds down through the atmosphere, the resistance gradually transforms its shape from the jewel-like geode form into a geodesic sphere, the spikes mostly burned away by the heat and pressure of passing through the atmosphere. It glows WHITE HOT at this time.
EXT. SPACE, LOW EARTH ORBIT
The ship heads for North America.
