Superman III is a 1983 superhero film directed by Richard Lester from a screenplay by David Newman and Leslie Newman based on the DC Comics character Superman.[4][5] It is the third installment in the Superman film series and the sequel to Superman II (1980). The film stars Christopher Reeve, Richard Pryor, Jackie Cooper, Marc McClure, Annette O'Toole, Annie Ross, Pamela Stephenson, Robert Vaughn, and Margot Kidder.[5][6]

The film proved less successful than the first two films both financially and critically. While criticism focused on the comedic and campy tone as well as the casting and performance of Pryor, the special effects and performance of Christopher Reeve received positive reviews.

A sequel, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, was released in July 1987.
