The Story of the Spider man movie.
Orphaned at an early age, Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) lives in Queens,
New York with his beloved Aunt May (Rosemary
Harris) and Uncle Ben (Cliff Robertson). Peter leads the life of a normal
student, working as a photographer at the Daily Bugle
under the tutelage of publisher J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons), pining
after the beautiful Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst)
and hanging out with his buddy Harry Osborn (James Franco).
On a school trip, during
which Peter and his classmates are given a science demonstration on spiders,
Peter is bitten by a
genetically altered spider. Soon after, he discovers that he has unusual
powers: he is endowed with the strength and agility of
a spider along with a keen, ESP-like "spider-sense." After discovering
these powers, Peter appears in a televised wrestling
match and, armed with his new spider strength, wins the match in record
time. But the wrestling match promoter refuses to
award Peter the $3,000 prize money, alleging that Peter won too quickly.
Soon afterwards, Peter has the opportunity to catch
a burglar fleeing from the promoter's office, but because he wants revenge,
he refuses to stop him. Moments later, the same
burglar kills his beloved Uncle Ben.
As Spider-Man, Peter
apprehends the burglar but is plagued with guilt for not being a hero sooner.
During his time of turmoil,
Peter remembers something Uncle Ben once told him: "With great power,
comes great responsibility." Peter takes this to
heart and decides to use his extraordinary powers to fight crime.
Meanwhile, megalomaniacal
businessman Norman Osborn (Willem Dafoe), Harry's father, is undergoing
some changes of
his own. An experimental formula has blown up in his face, increasing his
intelligence and strength but also driving him insane.
He is now the Green Goblin, Spider-Man's arch-enemy, who will put young
Peter Parker's vow to fight crime and help innocent
people to the ultimate test.
