About
Before he was Superman he was just a young man with extraordinary abilities.
Inside the idyllic community of Smallville, the intertwined destinies of Clark Kent, Lana Lang, and Lex Luthor begin to take shape while an imminent danger emerges: a high-school prank has spawned a vengeful villain who has acquired super powers of his own. (This standalone version of the series pilot combines footage with the second episode, newly formatted in 1.78 widescreen, and has an alternate closing produced for the Canadian DVD market.)
