In an alternate universe, Superman's spaceship lands in Soviet Russia instead of Kansas, and he grows up to become a powerful symbol of communism. As the Cold War heats up, Superman leads the Soviet Union in spreading its ideology across the world, while brilliant American scientist Lex Luthor works on a plan to stop him. The two superhumans engage in a pulse-pounding game of cat and mouse, with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance.
