Superman and the Mole Men is a 1951 American superhero film released by Lippert Pictures. Produced by Barney A. Sarecky and directed by Lee Sholem, it stars George Reeves as Superman and Phyllis Coates as Lois Lane. It is the first feature film based on any DC Comics character, and it is the first occurrence of Reeves playing the role of Superman as he later would in the television series Adventures of Superman.
Clark and Lois cover a story on oil drilling in a small town, which inadvertently summons a pair of subterranean, humanoid creatures. Superman defends the creatures against the paranoid and prejudiced townspeople.
