In 2002 Free@last TV made a highly acclaimed documentary about Spider-Man, the big screen adaptation of the classic comic book superhero.

Spider-Man was first introduced in the Marvel comic Amazing Fantasy #15 (August 1962). Peter Parker, a Senior at Midtown High School, receives his powers when bitten by a radioactive spider in a science demonstration. This bite endowed him with the proportional strength and agility of a spider along with a keen 'spider sense'.

Directed by acclaimed director Sam Raimi, a self-confessed Spider-man fanatic, who most recently directed the box-office hit For Love of the Game and the critically acclaimed A Simple Plan, The Spider-Man Story seized the moment with a compelling narrative encompassing 40 years of Spider-Man action and heroism across every level of pop culture including comic books, newspapers, radio, computer games, three decades of cutting edge television animation and ultimately the latest feature length incarnation.

The film featured interviews with the stars of the movie; Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and the creator Stan Lee. The film told the story of Spider-man the icon while building a behind the scenes picture of the making of a box office smash, and culminating in the launch of the film in the USA prior to it's launch in the UK.
