The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field).
The film recycles a lot of material from previous projects: Peter still has vanished parents, and he still lives with his Uncle Ben and Aunt May, now played by Martin Sheen and Sally Field, respectively.
