Peter Parker is your average teenager, until he's bitten by a genetically altered spider while on a field trip. He develops arachnid-like traits, including superhuman strength, webs that shoot from his wrists and a "spider sense" that warns him when danger is near. These new powers are put to the test when his best friend's father turns into the Green Goblin and tries to kill him.
Forty years after his comic-book debut, the web-slinger finally swings into theaters in this big-budget adventure from director Sam Raimi. Will the movie live up to fan expectation and hype? With a cast this talented (and photogenic), "Spider-Man" should catch moviegoers like flies in a web.
