Awkward Queens teen Peter Parker gains spider-like powers after a lab accident. As the masked vigilante Spider-Man, he battles his own rage and guilt after his beloved Uncle Ben is killed by a carjacker Peter could have stopped. Donning a red-and-blue costume, he faces the electrified billionaire Carlton Strand and his sandy enforcer Boyd, who tempt Peter toward darkness. With help from his loving Aunt May and his girlfriend Mary Jane Watson, Peter rejects Strand’s amoral vision, defeats him atop the World Trade Center, and learns that with great power must also come great responsibility.
