The film was written by David Koepp, and directed by Sam Raimi. It stars Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, and Willem Dafoe. It was followed up by two sequels, Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3.
The film begins with Peter Parker, a high school student, being bitten by a genetically altered spider. After misusing his newly given abilities, which indirectly caused the death of his Uncle Ben, he becomes the heroic Spider-Man.
