Superman: Red Son
Animated adaptation of Mark Millar's three-issue comic book mini-series from DC. It asks: What if your true blue American Superman was actually raised in the Soviet Union? Set in the thick of the Cold War, Superman (Jason Isaacs) grows up to become a Soviet symbol that fights for the preservation of Stalin’s brand of communism. His presence incites conflict, and nations are forced to choose sides as the Man of Steel aids in Russian conquest.
