"Superman III" (1983) is the third installment in the Superman film series, directed by Richard Lester. The story centers on Superman (Christopher Reeve) facing a new threat in the form of a brilliant but unscrupulous computer programmer, Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor), who creates a synthetic version of kryptonite that turns Superman evil. As the Man of Steel grapples with his darker impulses, he also confronts the corporate villainy of Ross Webster (Robert Vaughn), who seeks to control the world through technology. The film mixes action, humor, and a touch of romance as Clark Kent rekindles his relationship with Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) and battles both external and internal conflicts. While it features some lighter comedic elements, it struggles to maintain the same gravitas as its predecessors, earning a mixed reception from critics and fans.
