Plot
The movie begins with strange flashbacks of a young boy in what seems is a medical facility, where he is undergoing surgery and being held inside a tube.

Ben Reilly (Raviv Ullman) wakes up in his high school in Long Island, inside his physics class, where a substitute teacher announces their teacher, Doctor Otto Octavius (Steve Buscemi) is out and that she'll be teaching the class. She puts the class in pairs, and Ben is paired with the beautiful Mary-Jane Watson (Shailene Woodley) the sarcastic redhead who can fend for herself.

During this, Doctor Octavius goes to an engineering firm, where he is demonstrating OsCorp's newest creation- tentacle-like



mechanical arms that are invulnerable to radiation. He gives an example by tring to control a nuclear reaction, though accidently causes an explosion in the process. The tentacles protect him from the explosion, though are now permanently latched to his body.

Ben is let out of school, though he discovers he has spider-like powers when he is mugged. He begins to use his powers to his own needs, and makes a name for himself as 'The Scarlet Spider' an opposite of Spider-Man. He creates a costume similar to Spider-Mans, though he adds a sleeveless hoodie with a spider symbol on it.

The rising popularity of Ben interests Octavius, who feels that OsCorp has betrayed him. He creates a destructive rampage at OsCorp, and is stopped by Ben, who prevents Octavius from being identified by giving him the nickname 'Doctor Octopus'. Ben also starts a romance with Mary-Jane as Scarlet Spider, in which she

first rejected, but she kept being saved by him, sparking a romance.

Octavius is frustrated by The Scarlet Spider, and kidnaps Mary-Jane to lure Ben in. It works, and the two fight. During the fight, Octavius unmasks The Scarlet Spider, revealing him to be Ben. Both Octavius and Mary-Jane are confused on how such a bright student could be so irresponsible.

The two contunue to battle, and it ends with Ben wrapping electrical wires around Octavius' tentacles, forcing them together and keeping them from moving.

Octavius is put in jail. Ben and Mary-Jane try and start a relationship, but Mary-Jane reveals she is being forced to move to Manhattan. Ben jokes that she might meet Spider-Man (paving the way for her appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man 3) and they share one last kiss before he is supposed to move.

In a mid-credits scene, Octavius is broken out of jail by a mysterious being on a strange glider (hinted to be Green Goblin) as he tells Octavius that 'he'll have to play nice with the other four.'
