1993
Doctor Otto Octavius, a brilliant but unstable physicist, conducts a dangerous cyclotron experiment that results in an explosion and his transformation into a cyborg with mechanical arms. Peter Parker, a college student, gains spider-like powers after being bitten by a radioactive spider while spying on Ock's lab. Peter's Uncle Ben is killed during a home invasion by Weiner, Ock's assistant, prompting Peter to embrace his new identity as Spider-Man to fight crime. Spider-Man confronts Ock, who is attempting to steal plutonium and reactivate his cyclotron, leading to a series of battles across the city. In the climax, Spider-Man and Liz Allen, Peter's love interest, escape the collapsing science center after Ock is defeated, and they parachute to safety, sharing a moment as the city watches their descent.

Peter Parker, Liz AllenI know you... and you, young lady. Both of you are in my physic class, aren't you...? Come... you can help me. I need to get some of these drums to my laboratory... help me... and I'll give you special grades. What'd you say?
When Peter was little, he loved to hide. In the closets. Under the sink. He always needed a secret place. But when I'd look for him, he'd always laugh... he wanted to be found.
This is Doctor Otto Octavius' work. I must get back to my university. I must stop Ock... he's gone crazy. Can you help me?
Ock is a genius, Harry. Crazy, Yes! But, a genius misunderstood, and unappreciated.
This may be the end of a beautiful friendship you know?
We have a lot to thank your friend Spider-Man for.
Somehow, I don't think we've seen the last of him.
What...? What is it? Why do you look like that?
