From Columbia Tri-Star Home Video! Sam Raimi (Army of Darkness) directs this breathtaking, gravity-defying, record-breaking, blockbuster film adaptation of comic book legend Stan Lee's web-spinning wonder, starring Tobey Maguire, Willem Dafoe, Kirsten Dunst, and James Franco! Screenwriter David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Panic Room) adapts Lee's vision as bookish teen Peter Parker (Maguire) is bitten by a genetically engineered spider, gaining its amazing abilities. But, when a preventable tragedy strikes close to home, Peter learns there's a thin line between being an ordinary man and an extraordinary hero, and adopting the name Spider-Man, decides to use his new-found powers to fight the criminal element. Now, not only is Peter fighting to win the affections of beautiful classmate Mary Jane Watson (Dunst), he must also contend with the evil machinations of the scientist-turned-super-psychotic Norman Osbourne and his nefarious alter-ego, the Green Goblin (Dafoe), initiating a reign of terror that only Spider-Man can stop! Approximate running time: 120 minutes. Scheduled to ship in November, 2002. Note: Only available in the U.S., not including Puerto Rico.
