1980, Movie, PG, 98 mins

Steve Nichols (John Ritter) is a down-on-his-luck actor paying the bills by making public appearances as the comic book hero "Captain Avenger." When Steve foils a holdup at the corner grocery, the city goes wild over the idea that there really is a Captain Avenger, prompting Steve to go back into the streets as the cartoon character. The film's interesting concept is marred by its many cliches, but Ritter is likable in the lead. leave a comment
Emmy and Golden Globe-winner John Ritter (TV's "Three's Company," "Slingblade") stars as a struggling actor who foils a robbery while dressed in a promotional "Captain Avenger" suit. Trouble ensues when his actions make him a celebrity hero. Starring Oscar-nominees Ann Archer ("Fatal Attraction," "Patriot Games") and Kevin McCarthy ("Death of a Salesmen," "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"). With Bert Convy ("The Cannonball Run") and, for "Back-to-Bacon" enthusiasts, a surprise cameo by Kevin Bacon ("The River Wild," "Apollo 13").
