Oil Rig Rescue | Man of Steel 

Honestly I want a whole superman movie about him doing shit like this, and kinda being an urban legend

We don't want a reboot, we want Man of Steel 2.

The humans are also remarkable. That guy tackling Clark to save him, the pilot waiting and yelling "get that last guy loaded", and later in the film the Colonel standing up to a Kryptonian. I'm thankful for Zack Snyder that he portrayed us in a good light. He not only highlights the best of Superman, he highlights the best of humanity as well.

This scene will be remembered as one of the badass scenes in DCEU. Thank you Henry Cavill, Zack Snyder and Hans Zimmer.

That man just saved the cage from superman

It's ridiculous how many iconic scenes are in this movie.

0:41 the look on his face , why he loves us and can do anything to protect us. this movie was an art.

Can you imagine the testimony of the rescued workers? Everyone would think they were either insane or hallucinating if they said a ripped bearded guy on fire saved them.

0:40 You could see how proud Clark is. That man, even though human, risked his life to try save his.

This movie gets better over the years

This scene is so inspiring. Clark didn't know that he was "Superman," he just knew that he had to help.

2:11 When the steel beam starts to bend before Clark does.... Chills every time

0:40 that smile from Clark , seeing what humanity is.

This movie was really good.I never understood the hate

Ages like a fine wine.

Just imagine being deep inside a rig on fire, certain death looming over your head and in the final moment a shirtless man, literally on fire, tears out a metal door like a paper from a book. Hell, IM pretty sure Superman is the greatest comic book hero of all time.

Such a criminal underrated film. Without a doubt the highlight of the DC films.

0:41 he is happy even tho that thing wasn't gonna hurt him, he still appreciated the man that helped him

Hands down the best actor to ever portray the man of steel.

i love how the CG didnt even question him lifting it, they knew that was their sign and took off. amazing

I actually have a lot of respect for that guy who saved Superman from the crab cage... He obviously didn't know that Clark was Superman, but he didn't hesitate to put himself in danger saving him

That fisherman is a metahuman without a doubt. How can you tackle supes? You're basically hitting an iron pillar if you did that.

I just realized Clark wasn't actually struggling to lift the oil rig, the foundation couldn't take all that weight, and he hadn't learnt flight yet to shift his weight into the air.

This is the best Superman film ever made... Don't care what anyone says...

Fisherman was the real heroe he saved superman from the crab pot, no superpowers but still risked his life😆

Holly crap he has a fireproof beard!

I respect that fisherman for saving Clark (ofc he’s Superman either way), he could’ve gotten killed or badly injured too but he risked it all to save him, he’s a good man

I'm gonna miss him.Thank you Henry and Zack🥺🥺🥺🤕

I liked this Superman.

Man of Steel and the Dark Knight two of the greatest comic book movies ever made... They both feel like there in the same universe for a second .

This scene ages like fine wine. Those deep tones when Clark catches the rig…rolling thunder that reminds us limits are meant to be pushed. It’s true none of us are Superman, but we each have our own unique potential. Take inspiration from wherever you can and channel it into your gift. Much love and good luck.

Fun Fact: In the comics, Superman was operating in secrecy for 7 years before he became a public figure.

“This isn’t Superman. He’s not bright and shiny with a boyscout personality. The colors are bleak and boring.” Blah blah blah. This is the embodiment of Superman. A regular guy, sure he’s an alien with godly powers but he’s just as human as anyone. This was meant to be his origin, his starting point. He was traveling the world helping people, trying to find himself. It reminded me a bit, of the Earth 1 Superman comics. This movie was supposed to lay the foundations that built up to the Superman we all recognize. People complain about him killing Zod. “Zod stop!” ...”Never!”. He had no choice, sure he could have tossed Zod away but then he would risk him killing even more people. Zod’s death and the deaths of the civilians caught in their battle weighed heavily on him, thus cementing his unwillingness to kill. His struggle between whether he should help at all. His suit got brighter every time. So did his personality. But people wanted Christopher Reeve’s Superman instantly. Instead we got a flawed, human character trying to do the right thing as best as he can. I vastly prefer this kind of a Superman, someone many of us can all relate to.

These guys probably thought Clark was an angel. He appeared, saved them with supernatural powers, and disappeared again.

The fact Henry Cavill didn't get a second Superman movie is absolutely unforgivable. The man was born to play that role.

9 years later, we miss the superman. No one is better in the role of superman other other Henry

Things are not easy to stop, the structure was collapsing. Awesome scene.

1:18 Those men being saved probably thought it was Jesus that came to save them, ngl I would think that, a bearded man on fire

In my opinion I think after Clark gets saved in this scene, it sets in stone for him that not all humans are bad and that they're worth fighting for while also having grown up with the best people as parents, you can see the subtle smile of appreciatation at 0:35 where he decides it then right after he rescues those men. Such a brilliant movie!

Superman screaming to hold the rig up long enough never fails to get a rise out of me. Pure unstoppable energy🎉

Clark: (holding the tower) Ahhhhhhhh!!! Me: (When I flip my mattress)

He is an amazing Superman! There's no denying it.

Damn, the soundtrack expands as the danger rises to the rig crew and when the structure is begin to fall and Kal pushes it back it’s like you can feel his power through the music. Gives me chills every single time.

People hate what they dont understand.... MOS is a masterpiece ❤

There are stories about every hero. How they became great, most have one thing in common. They're bodies jumped into battle before they had a chance to think

greatest scene ever.

Time after time you can understand the value of this film. It's aging like fine wine.

Such a fuckin great movie. They touch on the heart, the hopefulness in superman in a way the dim witted movie goers can't see. The look towards the tower. He notices it's gonna fall, looks at them and pretty much thinks, oh well, they'll have to see me. Saves them. This is a powerful scene. The grit in his face makes you believe he's holding up hundreds of thousands of pounds. Incredible.

i just realized Clark took the fishermans advice literally to the next scene where he "kept his eyes opened" and noticed the structural supports failing when the chopper didn't noticed, thus the role reversal! what a great carry forward scene! EDIT: he still got squashed but still amazing

That fisherman is the real Superman he was able to tackle him.

Its criminal how people didn't like this movie when it came out, it is much better than most movies that release these days.

This movie is so underrated just like The amazing spiderman franchise. Both had potential but got ruined by fake fans rioting about their stupid opinions that are just biased

2:19 "This...is....Sparta!!!!"

2:00 "hey lets go what are you doing?" me: "he is beginning to believe"

The score in this movie is CRIMINALLY underrated

Henry Cavill is Body goals lol

Those men trapped on the oil rig got to witness what almost no one else ever saw... Superman out of costume.

I swear this movie is underrated asf

The air tight cast iron door is just crumbled like an aluminum can and tossed aside like waste and before them stands some dude literally on fire and not even giving two shits about it. Their expressions where priceless.

This superman had alot of substance. So much potential. This particular show cases people weaker than superman risking death do save others. While superman in his life never really had to risk death to save people (aside from Doomsday)

Imagine yourself on that helicopter and Seeing an Unknown Guy carry a whole Tower on two Hands . This movie will always be a Masterpiece for me.

idk why the ratings on this film are low... why isnt this called a good movie? why doesn't anyone recognize it? why doesn't anyone love this movie??? its a literal masterpiece!!

I liked How Superheros in Snyders movies are considered an enigma, an urban legends. Handful of people have seen them and the Superheros doesnt reveal them before the movie itself

0:14 that lil 'woosh' sound effect that the sound designer thought would be cool to add lol

Clark ripping apart that metal door is so badass...

By far and away the best Superman and the best Superman movie...

1:47 XD anyone else notice Clark's "fe fi fo fum" walk?

He was steel himself here, the falling of the tower put pressure on the bar he was standing on, bending it. Yet Superman was still standing strong.

Superman in the water at the end like "Dang it, they think I'm dead. Gonna have to go job hunting again."

a man who refuses to quit

I love the realistic take on Superman trying to hold the rig from falling & you can see the beams he was standing on giving away.

2:27 For anyone wondering how this guy was able to plow right into kal-el and take him off his feet effortlessly is because (Green horn as they called him) wasn’t expecting it to happen, so he was caught off guard by that save.The bar scene with the cocky-drunk dude? Yea! Superman was expecting some foolish antics out of him so he was prepared for anything.

clark: *gets tackled by someone to "save" his life* also clark at the bar scene: *no one born in this world can make me move, bich*

This scene will be forever Goated

The look on Clark's face when that guy pushed him out the way of that metal net, he grinned because a human attempted to save his life even though he was never in any danger :) Clark was secretly moved by the experience

This Movie had some of my favorite fight scenes and visual effects

2:10 that one kid who tied to lift a weight over 1 pound

James Gunn should at least give us Man of Steel 2 before he starts his new DC universe!!!!

James Gunn dropped the biggest ball by letting Henry go, he will always be my fav Superman.

1:12 so amazing he can climb through walls

Clark still hadn't reached his full potential uptil now ... otherwise even lifting the whole oil well would have been a child's play for him !!

The way Zack Snyder brings Superman to us is epic, this is on another level than those ridiculous DC series for teens! Here he looks like "mighty" (with superb suit), I might regret the fact he "does his war vs Kryptionians and maybe 1 or 2 more rescue scenes or regular people would have been welcomed", despite some included on whole movie. Besides, Cavill, and, special effects on Snyder's movies are very good (Man of Steel has nice CGIs, fighting sequences with Zod, etc., especially if we compare with +10 years later "The Flash" movie where this is ugly... different ethics & teams...).

This movie was ahead of it's of time. Love to see it's finally getting the recognition it deserves years later but also upset we'll never get a sequel.

I fucken love this part. Gives me goosebumps Everytime. I also like how that guy straight up risked his life to save greenhorn from getting smashed under the cage. That's a good guy right there

*Pilot:* -GET THAT LAST GUY LOADED, WE HAVE GOT TO GO!!! *Coast Guard 1:* -Hey, let's go! What you doing? _Music intensifies_ _Clark jumps toward the collapsing construction and stops it from falling onto the helicopter_ _The helicopter finds its way out safely_ _Clark falls into the ocean as the collapsing construction breaks down_ *ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED???*

2:08 is amazing the polite going from “get that last guy on” to getting tf out of there once Superman holds up the collapsed structured.

Whoever is gonna play Superman in James Gunn's version, got a lot to fill in because of Henry Cavill.

This is one of my favourite scenes in this movie. It's just Clark doing his best to save people, even going so far as to risk his life to make sure they're all safe. You could argue that he knew he wouldn't die but the fact that he not only struggled to hold up the oil rig, but literally passed out from the whole ordeal shows that there was some danger involved

When that synth hit ... chills.

The fact that the guy was able to push Superman out of his stand is impressive af

Lately I feel this movie is a masterpiece.

One of the best movie in fantasy I ever seen

I like this way of showcasing his power over opening the movie with some random fights where we are supposed to believe his enemies are super strong but he is stronger. You have a much better grasp at the sheer strength at his disposal with these gigantic metal structures he is supporting from a less than ideal angle. Also we get to see that even though Superman's power is nearly immeasurable it isnt infinite. Great scene

You know shit is heavy when even Superman is screaming in pain.

When that guy tackled Clark, you have to remember that Clark literally had to intentionally fall so that the guy didn't just collide with a brick wall.

I love these scenes him still underground a nameless unknown hero I’d love to see a series of him in this stage .

the details in this scene is priceless. in 1:30 clark using his cold breath to cold down the metal ladder, it's barely noticeable, because he make sure not to use cold breath too much, that will freeze the ladder and make it slippery for others. then in 2:11 clark is screaming like hell, because he is holding that metal tower or whatever the thing from the lowest point of gravitational pull, which make it impossible to lift anything, that's why he needed to scream like that. amazing !

This scene never gets old. Superb scene

The moment Clark got saved by his fellow fisherman from the cage falling on him, is When he realised that there are good people out there in this world and humanity is worth saving.It was at that moment

This this masterpiece is so underrated . The best superman movie ever. I hope they make 1/2/3
