This movie was made in 1978 as the eighties, a decade of greed and moral decay, were drawing near. Superman acts as an opposing force, by offering a role model who is morally sound. The movie tries to demonstrate that humans can act good and evil, but that goodness is the correct way to succeed. He fights for Truth, Justice, and the American Way. Lex Luther embodies the typical business man who would sacrifice millions of people to make billions of dollars out of property sales. It also shows a rich man who only wants to become richer and greedier.
