About
As of 2026, it's 24 years old.
Spider-Man swung into 2002 and proved the modern superhero blockbuster could carry real heart, kicking off the genre's takeover of Hollywood. A nerdy teen gets bitten by a radioactive spider, loses his uncle, and learns that with great power comes great responsibility — a line now welded permanently to the character.
The upside-down kiss, the wall-crawling, and Tobey Maguire's earnest Peter Parker made it a phenomenon and a template.
Heartfelt, thrilling, and genre-defining, Spider-Man is the film that helped launch the superhero era — and made everyone briefly attempt to shoot webs from their wrists.
