Plot
A young Peter Parker discovers his father's study has been broken
into. His father, Richard,
gathers up hidden documents, and Peter's parents take him to the home of his Aunt May and Uncle Ben, then mysteriously depart. Years later, a teenage
Peter attends Midtown Science High School, where he is bullied by Flash Thompson and has caught the eye
of Gwen Stacy. At home, Peter
finds Richard's papers, and learns his father worked with fellow scientist Dr. Curt Connors at Oscorp. Faking his way into Oscorp as one of a group of
high-school interns, Peter sneaks into a lab where a "biocable" is
being created from genetically modified spiders, one of which bites him. On the
subway ride home, he is shocked to find strange spider-like abilities
manifesting.
After studying Richard's
papers, he visits the one-armed Connors at home, reveals he is Richard Parker's
son, and gives Connors his father's "decay rate algorithm", the
missing piece in Connors' experiments on regenerating limbs based on lizard
DNA. Connors is being pressured by his superior, Dr. Ratha, to devise a cure
for the dying, unseen head of Oscorp, Norman Osborn.
In school, attempting
revenge on Flash, Peter gets in trouble, forcing Uncle Ben to change work
shifts in order to meet with the principal; he tells Peter to pick up May
tonight for him. Peter later goes to Oscorp and helps Connors regenerate a limb
on a laboratory mouse, while ignoring a call from Ben. When Peter returns home,
Ben scolds him for having neglected to pick up May. Peter storms off, and Ben
goes out to search for him. Peter visits a convenience store, and while arguing
with the clerk, a man steals from the till and dashes out. Peter refuses to
give chase. The thief runs into Ben, who confronts him. They wrestle over a
gun, and Ben is shot. The killer escapes as Peter finds his uncle, who dies in
his arms.
Afterward, Peter uses
his new abilities to hunt criminals matching the killer's description. After a
fall lands him inside an abandoned gym, a luchador-wrestling poster inspires him to create a mask to
hide his identity. He also adds a spandex suit, and builds
mechanical devices to attach on his wrists to shoot a biocable "web".
The mask, suit, and webshooters becomes a matching red-and-blue spider-themed
costume. He later accepts a dinner invitation from Gwen and meets her father,
police captain George Stacy. After dinner, Peter and Gwen go to her apartment
building's roof, where he shows her his abilities, and they kiss.
Ratha says Connors must
begin human trials immediately if Osborn is to survive. Connors refuses to rush
the drug-testing procedure and put innocent subjects at risk. Ratha fires
Connors and says he will test Connors' serum at a Veterans Administration hospital under the guise of flu shots. Connors
tries the formula on himself. After passing out and awakening, he finds his
missing arm has regenerated. Learning Ratha is on his way to the VA hospital,
Connors, whose skin is growing scaly and green, goes to intercept him. By the
time he gets to the traffic-jammedWilliamsburg Bridge,
Connors has become a hybrid of lizard and man, tossing cars, including Ratha's,
over the side of the bridge. Peter, now calling himself Spider-Man, saves each
fallen car with his web-lines.
Spider-Man suspects
Connors is the Lizard, and unsuccessfully confronts the Lizard in the sewers.
The Lizard learns Spider-Man's real identity and attacks Peter at school. The
police hunt both Spider-Man and the Lizard, with Captain Stacy learning
Spider-Man's real identity. The Lizard plans to make all humans lizard-like by
releasing a chemical cloud from Oscorp's tower. Spider-Man eventually disperses
an antidote cloud instead, restoring Connors and earlier victims to normal, but
not before the Lizard fatally claws Stacy. The dying Stacy makes Peter promise
to keep Gwen safe by staying away from her. Peter initially does so, but later
suggests he may see her after all.
In a scene during the end credits, Connors, in a
prison cell, appears to speak with a man who asks if Connors told Peter the
truth about his father. Connors replies, "No" and demands Peter be
left alone before the man leaves.
