Peter Parker (Josh Hutcherson), a lonely, science-obsessed freshman, is bitten by a radioactive spider and suddenly gains everything he ever wanted—fame, money, and the chance to get even to all the people that wronged him. However his apathy costs him dearly when the thief he once ignored murders Uncle Ben, leading Peter to quit being Spider-Man a year later—until a criminal impersonator forces him back into action. Now, facing a wave of dangerous foes, Peter must balance his mission to clean his name as well as his daily life as he began to embrace the true meaning of his uncle’s final words: With great power, there must also come great responsibility.
