Info : A meteor shower bursts from the heavens, raining destruction on the unsuspecting citizens of Smallville, Kansas. Present day. Twelve years have passed and the healing process has left the towns inhabitants with scars and secrets. From the ashes of tragedy, a popular yet awkward teen attempts to decipher the meaning of his life and his clouded past. As he struggles with the transition from boyhood to adulthood, his strength and strange abilities set him uncomfortably apart from his peers. His name is Clark Kent.In 1989, a huge meteor shower destroyed most of the town of Smallville, Kansas, killed a lot of people, and brought Jonathan (John Schneider) and Martha Kent (Annette OToole) what they have always wanted: a son. In 2001, their son, Clark (Tom Welling), is a growing man, has two best friends, Pete (Sam Jones III) and Chloe (Allison Mack), and has a crush on the hottest girl in school, Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk). But his parents have been hiding a secret from him: that they found him inside a spaceship when the meteor shower came. As he begins to develop his powers that will soon transform him into Superman, Clark begins to develop a friendship between his future arch-enemy, the bald Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum), and fights the people that are transformed by the kryptonite that was hidden in the meteors, including a shape-shifting girl, a boy that is becoming more insect than man, and an old killer who can become young again.
