Oblivious Clark Kent (Christopher Reeve) who happened to be walking down the sidewalk, noticed the drowning driver trapped inside, entered a self-photo booth, and changed into his Superman costume.The dialogue-filled, set-bound picture lacks he action of a typical Western, with pretentious, cautionary, liberal-minded hemes and dark, artificially-painted and phony exteriors serving as backdrops.He then flew to the town and used his Super-breath to cool the lava and stop its destructive progress.Unusually reckless, canted camera angles (one of their earliest uses), and wide-angle lens distortions amidst the atmospheric on-location views of a shadowy Vienna cast a somber mood over the fable of post-war moral ambiguity and ambivalent redemption.The film""s third cat-and-mouse pursuit was a car chase in mid-town Manhattan with Bourne driving a hijacked (and battered) NYPD police car while pursued by assassin Paz, culminating with Paz""s serious injuries after a massive crash, although Bourne refused to kill him.
