The Meteor Man
Get meteorized. Take a stand.
Directed by Robert Townsend
Produced by Tinsel Townsend, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A lighthearted superhero comedy that plays with genre conventions through an underdog hero with comically limited powers, grounded in community and humor rather than spectacle.
One night Jefferson Reed gets hit in the chest by a souped-up chunk of meteor. So he can fly, but he's scared of heights. He can master the information in any book ... for about thirty seconds. Now his friends and family want him to protect their community from the dreaded Golden Lords.
