Plot:
Orphaned at an early age, Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) lived 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 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 this time of turmoil,
Peter remembers something Uncle Ben once told him: "With
great power, there must also come great responsibility."
Peter takes this to heart and decides to use his extraordinary
powers to fight crime.
Meanwhile, megalomanical 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
