Spider-Man (1977)

In the bustling, crime-ridden heart of the Big Apple, New York City, we find Peter Parker, a fiercely independent and talented young photographer working part-time for the infamously hard-nosed editor, J. Jonah Jameson, at the Daily Bugle. However, Peter Parker is not just your everyday shutterbug. Thanks to a fortuitous encounter with a radioactive spider, he soon finds himself imbued with awe-inspiring superhuman abilities. Suddenly, Peter is no ordinary man, but a being of remarkable strength, speed, and agility, with the uncanny ability to cling to walls and ceilings, as if he were a human spider. His transformation also gifts him a sixth sense, a "spider-sense" that alerts him to impending danger, and an unwavering balance and equilibrium that defy the laws of physics. Inspired by his newfound capabilities, Peter Parker invents a super-sticky web serum, and dons a vibrant red-and-black costume, becoming the enigmatic, crime-fighting superhero known to the world as Spider-Man. But when an ominous extortionist threatens to trigger a multi-suicide unless a colossal ransom is paid, the city teeters on the brink of chaos. As the city's newfound guardian, only Spider-Man can thwart this malevolent force, using his powers to navigate the treacherous web of crime, and keep the city safe. This thrilling adventure serves as the pilot for the short-lived but memorable TV series 'The Amazing Spider-Man', based on the beloved Marvel Comic Book character created by Stan Lee, with Nicholas Hammond delivering a stellar performance as Peter Parker.

Spider-Man is an action movie featuring Thayer David and directed by E.W. Swackhamer.
