The film takes place five years after Superman's last appearance in Metropolis. Lois Lane (Caity Lotz) is engaged to Richard White (James Marshall), but she still pines for Superman. Meanwhile, Superman has been presumed dead after a heroic sacrifice. However, he re-emerges, only to find that four years have passed on Earth while he was away for five years, due to his super-speed.
The film's production design, costumes, and visual effects all contribute to a nostalgic and retro feel. The cinematography by Robert Legato captures the iconic Superman look, with a perfect balance of brightness and darkness. superman returns internet archive
