It has been two years since the end of the last film, and Peter Parker is finding his double life increasingly difficult. Precariously struggling to balance his crime-fighting duties with the demands of his normal life, Peter often finds his personal life taking a backseat. He loses a job, faces financial difficulties, and struggles to maintain his physics studies. Moreover, he has become estranged from both love-interest Mary Jane and best friend Harry Osborn, and Aunt May is threatened with foreclosure.

Harry, now head of Oscorp's research division, has invested in the research of brilliant scientist Otto Octavius, Peter's idol. To perform a sustained fusion experiment, he has developed a set of artificially intelligent mechanical arms, who are impervious to heat, though not unbreakable. When the experiment overloads and becomes unstable, Octavius' wife is killed, his neural chip, which enabled him to control the arms, is destroyed, and Octavius' mechanical arms become fused to his spine. The tentacles begin to influence Octavius' mind, playing on his vanity and ego, and he decides he must complete his experiment at any cost.
