When a mysterious object crashes into the Pacific Ocean, Superman discovers it isn’t a meteor — it’s a seed from the mind of Brainiac, an ancient cybernetic intelligence from the depths of space. As the AI spreads through Earth’s networks, consuming data, weapon systems, and even human minds, Clark Kent races to uncover its origins. But what he finds shakes him to his core: Brainiac has cataloged thousands of worlds — including Krypton — harvesting civilizations and erasing them from existence. Now, Earth is next. Torn between his duty as humanity’s protector and the haunting truth that Brainiac is the very force that destroyed his home, Superman must confront a terror that mirrors his own godlike nature — cold, precise, and devoid of mercy. Superman: Extinction becomes a story of identity, morality, and survival as Brainiac’s invasion turns Metropolis into a war zone. The Man of Steel faces impossible odds — an enemy who cannot be reasoned with and who sees organic life as obsolete. As Lois Lane uncovers the horrifying global reach of Brainiac’s network, Clark must decide whether to save humanity as their hero or as their weapon. Fueled by apocalyptic visuals and visceral, R-rated intensity, the film pushes Superman to his limits — body, soul, and belief — culminating in a catastrophic showdown that questions whether even hope can survive when perfection demands extinction.
