Story
As a wall crawling crime fighter of justice in New York in his 5th month, Peter Parker lives his life in a moral of his uncle Ben's saying; "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility". That in mind, he spends time with his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy, beginning to try to learn about his parents' past. But when a new force of criminals begin attacking Manhattan, Peter knows that it has something to tie in with his dad's work and that there is something bigger...

Plot
The movie begins with Peter Parker narrating, "What do I like about being Spider-Man? Everything (shows his wall crawling abilities and him taking down a bunch of criminals). I began my life as a teenager in high school who got bullied and fell in love with Gwen (shows Flash Thompson picking Peter and his friend Harry Osborn up and shoving them into a lunch tray and beauty Gwen Stacy helping them up). Then, one day I went into Oscorp Industries, who is owned by Harry's dad, Norman, to stalk Gwen (shows him and Gwen having a moment and him running into Norman's office. I followed Norman, where he was talking to Adrian Toomes, his assistant (shows Norman and Toomes going into a room with spiders). I heard them talking about how the spiders were radioactive and how my dad worked on them (shows the flashbacks of Richard Parker and Peter having a relationship until Richard runs away with his work, leaving Peter with his uncle Ben and Aunt May). I got spider powers when I got bitten, then I woke up on the street (he jumps up high when a car almost hits him). I start crawling up a building, being freaked out and then learning I have super strength (showing him beating up Flash Thompson and earning Gwen's heart). But one day when I ignored my uncle, he... died (shows Peter crying and wearing a anarchist mask and creating web shooters becoming Spider-Man). I have to remember what my uncle told me; "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility".

Peter is in physics class, looking back at Gwen Stacy, smiling. When class ends, Peter and Gwen talk to each other about the homework. Peter then takes his skateboard out, having Gwen on his back and having them go on a ride. He does a bunch of tricks; jumping over a pole, riding on the wall without falling down. Gwen yells, "This is so much fun, Peter. Keep doing it, baby!" Peter smiles and says, "Yeah, Gwen. It is fun. I got this skateboard for $200. Wondering why it's so much?" Gwen asks and he says that it is was a rare one. Gwen and Peter continue having a long conversation over school, then Gwen decides to invite him over for Thanksgiving dinner with his aunt and her dad.

Meanwhile, Adrian Toomes gets a call from Harry Osborn. Harry asks, "Is this mister Toomes?" Adrian sighs and says, "Yes, Harry. Before you even ask, your father is still sick. He's at the hospital." Harry then claims, "Oh thank god. I thought he was dead. I heard of Daily Bugle newspapers saying he has died. May I speak with him?" Toomes replies by darkly saying, "He's in his office right---" Harry rudely interupts, "Why is he in his office? I thought you told me he is in the hospital." Toomes then puts Harry on hold for a minute, heading to Norman's desk and his body is not shown, but he puts his hand out and Toomes says, "Osborn, it's your ignorant son." Harry then tells his dad how much he loves him and how he is happy his father is not dead. Norman changes the subject by saying, "Harry, have you been keeping up your school work?" Norman goes on about how his son is 'gambling, high off drugs, and a ladies-man', but Harry tells him he doesn't do any of those things. Norman then hangs up the phone and Harry angrily throws the phone off his mansion. Norman turns around and his face is a little bit green, his eyes are yellow, and his right hand is robotic. He tells Toomes to get the "Special Projects" finished because Norman wants it out soon. Toomes then goes out of the office.

Peter is sitting on a gargoyle at night, planning his Thanksgiving dinner with Gwen for tomorrow. He then tells himself, "I'm thankful for being Spider-Man!" The screen immediatly goes to Spider-Man swinging around Manhattan and pedestrians yell his name out for his honor to the city for 5 months. While he is happily swinging in the beautiful night skies, he gets a call from Jonah Jameson, who is the head of newspaper articles Daily Bugle, saying, "Parker, is that you? I have something to tell you, kid. There's a crazy mad man loose on the streets with a truck of Oscorp canisters. Get me pictures, son! Now go before I fire you!" Spider-Man laughs and says, "Jameson, Jameson... so hilarious. But there is crime going on right now. Might as well check it out." This Oscorp truck runs over a lot of cars, having everyone run for their lives and police cars chasing them. Captain George Stacy, Gwen's dad and captain of NYPD, shouts out to Aleksei Sytsevich, russian with a gangster sign on him, saying, "Put your hands up!" Aleksei laughs and yells, "You'll never catch me Stacy!" He puts the truck in reverse, destroying man police officers. Spider-Man then swings there, kicking into the trunk, seeing 3 russian gangsters. One tries to hit him with a sword, while he dodges it, then kicks his face, throwing him into someone else. He jumps over a thug, webs him many times, kicking them out of the trunk, webbing the two into a street lamp. The other thug surrenders and Aleskei is still driving, then he sees out in a window that one of his men is dangling from a web. Spider-Man goes up to him saying, "Hey, buddy. Come on, what a waste of gas. Anyways, I'm Spider-Man (puts his hand out). You can call me amazing, spectacular, maybe even ultimate." Aleksei punches him out of the window and he appears again. He says, "Woohoo, I'm back!" He punches into the front window, pulling out his camera, webbing it to a building and taking a picture of the truck. He swings back to the trunk, getting the canisters. He opens it and he sees that the canisters says, "Richard Parker" on it. Peter gets suprised that Aleksei stole his dad's work, so he activates a switch, throwing all the canisters into a building for him to check in later. He swings back to the truck, pulling into Aleksei's shirt and punching him twice, then webbing his eyes, making him run into a school bus that is about to fall off a highway bridge. Spider-Man then makes a web for it and the screen goes into slow motion while Spider-Man's spider sense turns off, then he webs a kid off the bus in order to keep the kid alive. He tells Spidey, "Thank you, Spider-Man!" Then he gives the kid a high five. Then, Sytsevich becomes raged, getting off the bus and he sees all of his men are down and he yells, "I will kill you, Spider-Man!" He pulls out an assault rifle, shooting at Spidey, but then Spider-Man webs it out of his hands, then kicks him and throws it at his face. He webs him down, pulling out his pants while singing.

The screen goes to a shadowy place where a mysterious figure is watching Spider-Man fight Sytsevich through a security camera. He then sighs and says, "Poor Sytsevich. Got to pick him up then."

Spider-Man swings to the building he put the canisters at and he finds out that Aleksei and his gang earlier broke into Oscorp Technology Archives warehouse and stole the canisters from there.

It shows Aunt May's daily life in her house in a beautiful neighborhood in Queens. She looks at a picture of Uncle Ben's proposal to her, having her kiss it and put a Christ sign next to the picture. Peter comes home, telling his aunt, "Hey Aunt May. Happy Thanksgiving!" Aunt May and Peter talk about it and they hug it out, while Peter later mentions that they will be having Thanksgiving dinner at Gwen's house. Aunt May accepts it and tells Peter to clean up his room. Aunt May and Peter have a mother-son sort of relationship and she tells him, "Even a 16 year old can clean up his room, Peter." Peter goes into his room, looking at the wall, seeing pictures of when Curt Connors, a former scientist at Oscorp, turned into Lizard and attacked Manhattan. Peter begins having flashbacks and how Lizard almost killed him 5 months ago. Peter clears up all the junk in his house, webbing it all under his bed. His eye catches this bag that says, "RP" on it, representing his father's initials. He web pulls it and closes his room door. He opens it, seeing all of his father's work in it. He puts on his glasses and he pulls out an old picture with Norman Osborn and Richard Parker in it. While he is searching through the bag, he turns on his TV. He turns to the news channel. He sees Jonah Jameson representing Daily Bugle saying, "Hello, citizens of New York. It is official; the CEO and head of Oscorp, Norman Osborn, is OFFICIALLY... dead. His dead body was reported found yesterday. A funeral was built for him, while his son Harry, is in rumours for taking up the businnes and becoming the new head of Oscorp." Peter turns off the TV and thinks he needs to meet Harry later. Peter puts the picture of Osborn and Parker on his wall and a picture of the canisters on his wall, pointing all of them at Oscorp.

Later that day, Peter is walking in Queens where he gets a call from Harry saying, "Hey Pete, you want to meet at Central Park in Manhattan? Come on down. We should hang out." Peter says, "Okay, Harry, I'll meet you there." Peter puts on his suit to take a quick swing to Manhattan, then he takes his suit off to talk to Harry in Central Park. Harry then tells Peter about his father dying, but Peter reminds him that he will always be there for his 'buddy' in a rough time. Harry tells how Norman created an 'Empire' in Oscorp and how he never liked his own son, but back then, Norman and Harry used to be best friends as dad-son. Peter wishes Harry a Happy Thanksgiving. Peter invites Harry over to Gwen's house for Thanksgiving dinner. Harry refuses to, but then he changes his mind later.

Gwen, who is using her phone at her house in Manhattan, gets a call from Peter. Peter says, "Hey, Gwen. I'm right there." Gwen says, "I know." Peter then replies, "No, literally." He appears behind her and she gets scared and they kiss. Peter and Gwen talk for a little bit, just when George Stacy comes in. He greets Peter, telling them to get ready for dinner. Captain Stacy says, "I hope you two are into turkey and salmon." George is interupting Peter and Gwen's moment, but then they hear a knock on their door, seeing that Harry is here, who was droven by his limo driver. Gwen opens the door and says, "Oh, hey Harry! I haven't seen you at school lately. I missed you so much! Happy Thanksgiving! Come in." Harry hugs her and says, "Thanks Gwen." Aunt May arrives at the house, helping Captain Stacy cook turkey, salmon, corn, chicken, and other food for the big Thanksgiving dinner.

Oscorp closes down for the day because of the holiday. Adrian Toomes closes his office, but not getting out of Oscorp Tower, but going into the room of "Special Projects". That room has a lot of serums including the "OZ" and the "reptile serum" (which turned Connors into Lizard to regain his missing arm). The room also has a new silver armor suit named, "Rhino". It is 12 ft 4 inches tall and weighs almost a ton (2,000 lbs). And there are mechanical green vulture wings, that provide strength, agility, and speedness. Toomes goes over to a mirror, looking at his face. He has a lot of wrinkles because he is 67 years old. He then touches and feels the vulture armor. He puts it on for a try, but something goes wrong and he yells, "Wait, no! Somebody! HELP!" The screen goes into first person mode where he closes his eyes and goes unconscious in the suit.

Peter, Gwen, Harry, Captain Stacy, and Aunt May start eating Thanksgiving dinner, going around the table and saying what they are thankful of. George says he is thankful of being the captain of the NYPD, Aunt May says she is thankful of Peter, Gwen is thankful of having her dad still be alive and her relationship with Peter (which makes Captain Stacy a little moody), Peter tells the table he is happy to be living a good and responsible life, and Harry stays silent. Peter asks Harry, "Hey, man, are you okay?" Harry says, "Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm fine. I just need some fresh air." Harry goes out to the balcony. They eat Thanksgiving dinner, then Captain Stacy tells them how him and his officers' main target is Spider-Man. Aunt May says, "Well, I think Spider-Man is good for the people. He saves lives. Remember how he stopped that mad man with the truck the other day. Many people died, but he also risked his life. And remember that he stopped that reptile creature 5 months ago." Stacy then says, "Yeah, but he leaves criminals with broken teeth and some of them have serious rap sheets. He's acting like he's the only one in charge. Well guess what? He's not in charge." While Captain Stacy said that, Peter was looking down at his tray as if he was mad at what George was saying.

Two days after Thanksgiving, Toomes wakes up in a building, then a mysterious man with a hat (the same one who watched Aleksei Sytsevich over the security camera) calling himself "The Big Man" reveals a proposal to Adrian. Toomes then tells him that he feels 40 years younger and stronger because of the vulture suit. He breaks out of his chains and slaps the man with his wings. He flies out of the building, holding the man by his shirt and brutally yells, "What the hell did you do to me?" The man puts on a device in his grey collar in the vulture armor and it turns him evil. The Big Man then tells Toomes, "I need you to break out Aleksei Sytsevich..."

Aleksei is seen at a prison called, Ravencroft Institute For The Criminally Insane. Sytsevich yells at and guard and says, "I will cut all your heads off (laughs)! I will kill this city. And SPIDER-MAN!" Outside of the prison, Vulture flies into a vent, taking down a guard, slamming his head into the wall. Vulture pulls out a pistol gun and shoots a guard. He shoots out the locks of Sytsevich's cell. He yells, "Freedom!" Vulture then tells him to shut up and and grabs him out of Ravencroft.

Peter is taking science, while he is being a 'nerd' (because he is known as one). He looks back and sees Harry putting his head on his desk, feeling sympathy on him because Peter lost his father too. The teacher says, "Okay class, now we're gonna mix the neutron chemicals with the alla-dope chemicals, creating a chemical. Remember to record data." Then class gets dismissed and the free period is up, so Peter uses the time to go to the library to search the textbooks to study for a big fall season exam. Gwen helps him searching books. They go in a table and an announcer comes up saying, "Attention Midtown High students. There is an emergency next to our school. It seems there is a man with mechanical wings that is causing rampage. Please exacuate the school immediatly." Gwen says, "Oh no. Peter we---" And she sees that he is gone. He runs to the bathroom
