Spider-Man, released in 2002 and directed by Sam Raimi, is a superhero film that tells the origin story of Peter Parker, a shy high school student who gains superhuman powers after being bitten by a genetically modified spider. As he grapples with his new abilities—enhanced strength, agility, and the ability to cling to walls—Peter learns the importance of responsibility after the tragic death of his Uncle Ben. Donning the mantle of Spider-Man, he faces off against the menacing Green Goblin, the alter ego of industrialist Norman Osborn. The film blends action, romance, and character-driven storytelling, laying the foundation for a new era of superhero cinema with its heartfelt performances, especially by Tobey Maguire as Peter, and its memorable visual effects.
