A earnest 1970s live-action superhero origin story balancing pulp adventure with the grounded realism of a TV pilot, centered on a photographer discovering his powers to stop a mind-control extortionist.

When an extortionist threatens to force a multi-suicide unless a huge ransom is paid, only Peter Parker can stop him with his new powers as Spider-Man.
