With no way to fly, Superman must find a way to stop Livewire and save the city before it's too late. He enlists the help of his friends, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen, as well as his arch-nemesis, Lex Luthor, who offers to use his resources to help Superman regain his power of flight.
As the clock ticks down, Superman faces daunting obstacles and fierce battles with Livewire.
