In this book, Peter Parker is bitten by a spider and discovers he has super powers but only the ones a spider has: making webs, swing through webs coming from his wrist, scale walls, long jump across building rooftops and one or two other things. The death of his Uncle Ben he says is his fault and he becomes the heroic Spider-Man. Peter wishes to win the heart of Mary Jane Watson, the girl he has loved ever since he was a boy, and fights the evil Green Goblin, who is the father of Peter's best friend, Harry Osborn. The movie is adapted from the cartoon from a Marvel comic. It was hugely popular so they made 2 other films.
