About THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN(TM)
One of the world's most popular characters is back on the big screen as a new chapter
in the Spider-Man legacy is revealed in The Amazing Spider-Man(TM). Focusing on an untold
story that tells a different side of the Peter Parker story, the new film stars Andrew
Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, with Martin
Sheen and Sally Field. The film is directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay written by

The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high
schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle
Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who
he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his
first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love,
commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his
father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly
to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Ifans), his father's former partner. As
Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will
make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.
