Product Description:
He's a superhero - with the tights and cape to prove it! Steve (John Ritter) a struggling New York actor costumed for a job posing as Captain Avenger at a movie premiere walks into a corner market...and into a holdup. One smash! boom! pow! later and the Big Apple is hailing Steve. Not as a hero. As a superhero. Reel life turns real for Steve in this comic charmer celebrating the hero in all of us. One of the most likable stars ever to grace large or small screens Ritter is hilarious and touching as a workaday guy who discovers righting wrongs is a whole lot of fun. So much that corrupt politicians want to cut in on the action and use Steve's fame to their own advantage. Will Steve cave to their scheme?This is a job for a superhero who knows right from wrong!Running Time: 115 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 012569675575

I was but a wee lad of 9 years old when I saw this film at the theater. Even then, it captivated my attention and I understood the "message" of the movie. The message was that real superheroes are people that you meet and see in the streets every day; not just some muscle-bound person in a flashy costume. True heroes are ordinary people.
