TCM Heroes Season - Every Saturday in October

TCM brings you a hero every Saturday night throughout October with our Heroes Season...

< BACK TO FEATURES

TCM celebrates the screen hero this month dedicating each Saturday night to a character demonstrating superhuman qualities. The term hero can describe fictional, mythological beings or humans who have qualities that set them above the rest.

October’s Heroes are a diverse bunch with the majority of characters coming from a comic book tradition: Superman, Batman, Blade and Robocop. They are the kind of creatures who wear their pants over their tights, don a cape and more often than not, take to the skies to do battle with evil doers.

Alongside these half-men/half-superbeings are a couple of ordinary blokes capable of extraordinary things. With their feet firmly on terra firma, there’s not a cape in sight as the two mortal law enforcers – Murtaugh and Riggs – find a well-deserved slot in TCM’s Heroes Season.

So tune in and enjoy some high-octane action with TCM’s Heroes, Saturdays from 9pm.
