Spider-Man (2002) Synopsis

Constantly picked on at school, insecure, brainy orphan Peter Parker can barely stand up for himself, let alone win the affection of Mary Jane Watson, the beautiful red-head next door he adores. Then, one day, while on a school field trip at a Columbia University laboratory, a genetically enhanced spider bites Peter, and just like that, an extraordinary transformation occurs. Now, with his body undergoing drastic changes, Peter gains distinct arachnid powers and phenomenal newfound super-abilities, only to quickly realise that with great power comes great responsibility. And, before long, the unhinged, unnaturally strong super-villain Green Goblin enters the picture, more than willing to put Peter's moral mettle to the test. However, is Peter's unexpected mutation a blessing or a curse? Will Peter Parker dedicate himself to fighting crime as New York City's masked protector?—Nick Riganas
