Superman and the Mole Men (1951)
Science FictionActionAbenteuer
Die Reporter Clark Kent und Lois Lane reisen in die Kleinstadt Silsby. Anlass ist die tiefste Ölbohrung, die jemals durchgeführt wurde. Durch die Bohrung, die fast bis zum Erdkern reicht, wurde die Heimat der Maulwurfsmenschen beschädigt, eine kleine, stark behaarte Menschenart. Entsetzt vom Aussehen der Maulwurfsmenschen, deren Augen in der Dunkelheit leuchten, formiert sich unter den Einwohnern der Stadt Silsby eine Gruppe unter Führung von Luke Benson, deren Ziel es ist, die Wesen zu töten. Clark Kent versucht in Gestalt von Superman, diesen Plan zu verhindern. Es gelingt ihm, unterstützt von Lois Lane, den Mob zu besänftigen, indem er Benson das Leben rettet. Danach wird die Bohrung verschlossen und von den Maulwurfsmenschen gesprengt. Reporterin Lois Lane sagt in einer Schlussszene: „Sie leben ihr Leben und wir leben unser Leben.“
