The Plot
The Scavenger's Grudge
In the aftermath of the devastating Battle of New York, Adrian Toomes and his salvage company are hard at work cleaning up the city. However, their operations are abruptly halted when Tony Stark and the federal government establish the United States Department of Damage Control (DODC), effectively driving Toomes out of business and seizing his jurisdiction. Enraged by the sudden loss of his livelihood and feeling marginalized by the wealthy elite, Toomes persuades his crew not to surrender the alien Chitauri technology they have already scavenged. Instead, they choose to keep the hazardous materials to further a criminal agenda. Over the next four years, the crew establishes a lucrative black-market business creating and selling exotic weapons. Toomes himself crafts a sophisticated winged harness from the alien tech, adopting the persona of the Vulture to hijack Damage Control trucks and steal more resources.
The Stark Internship
Sometime later, Peter Parker is recruited by Tony Stark to assist in the Avengers' internal conflict, participating in the Battle at Leipzig-Halle Airport in Berlin. Following the excitement of the battle, Parker returns to Queens, eager to become a full-time Avenger. However, Stark tells him he is not yet ready, leaving him under the distant supervision of Happy Hogan. Two months pass, and Parker grows restless. Despite the objections of his Aunt May, he quits the Midtown School of Science and Technology's decathlon team to focus on his "Stark Industries Internship," a cover story for his unauthorized crimefighting activities as Spider-Man.
One night, Parker patrols the streets and prevents Toomes' associates from robbing an ATM using high-tech gravity weapons. He returns to his apartment, sneaking in through the window, unaware that his best friend, Ned Leeds, is sitting on his bed waiting for him. Ned discovers Peter's secret identity, dropping his Lego Death Star in shock. The following day, Leeds is ecstatic and pesters Parker incessantly with questions about his abilities. During gym class, after overhearing Parker's crush, Liz Allan, discussing her attraction to Spider-Man with her friends, Ned accidentally blurts out that Peter knows the masked hero personally. This misunderstanding leads to Parker being forced to make an appearance at Liz's house party that night to prove the claim.
A Deadly Warning
While preparing to crash the party as Spider-Man, Parker spots two of Toomes' associates, Herman Schultz and Jackson Brice, conducting an arms deal in the distance. They are selling Chitauri weaponry to a local gangster named Aaron Davis. Parker intervenes, but the criminals flee. When Parker attempts to pursue them, he is grabbed by Toomes in his Vulture suit and dropped into a lake. Parker nearly drowns after becoming tangled in a parachute but is rescued by a remote-controlled Iron Man suit piloted by Stark. Stark warns Peter to stay away from these dangerous criminals and focus on being a "friendly neighborhood" hero.
Meanwhile, back at their hideout, Toomes is furious with Brice for jeopardizing their operation by using flashy weaponry in public. In a fit of rage, Toomes grabs one of their gravity guns, intending to threaten Brice, but accidentally fires it, disintegrating Brice instantly. Unfazed, Toomes turns to Schultz and hands him Brice's vibration-shock gauntlet, appointing him as the new "Shocker."
The road to Washington
Parker retrieves a piece of Chitauri weaponry left behind by Brice during the botched deal. He works with Ned to remove its glowing power core for study. Using a tracking device he planted on the criminals, Parker discovers they have moved to Maryland. Seeing an opportunity to intercept them, Parker rejoins the decathlon team, accompanying them to Washington, D.C. for the National tournament. Before leaving, he and Ned disable the tracker Stark implanted in the Spider-Man suit. In doing so, they unlock the suit's full potential, including all its restricted combat features and a built-in Artificial Intelligence, which Peter names "Karen."
In Maryland, Parker tracks Toomes to a DODC truck, attempting to stop him from stealing weapons. However, the inexperienced hero is overpowered and becomes trapped inside the reinforced truck, causing him to pass out and miss the decathlon tournament entirely. Upon escaping the storage facility the next morning, Parker realizes the Chitauri energy core he left in his backpack is actually an unstable grenade.
Crisis at the Monument
Parker frantically tracks Ned's phone to the Washington Monument, where the decathlon team is taking a tour. He arrives just as the core in Ned's backpack detonates, blasting out the elevator's upper mechanics and trapping Ned, Liz, and other classmates in a precarious car dangling hundreds of feet in the air. Evading local authorities who try to arrest him, Spider-Man scales the monument. With the elevator plummeting, he manages to break in and secure his friends, saving everyone including Liz just moments before catastrophe.
The Staten Island Ferry Disaster
Returning to New York City, Parker tracks down Aaron Davis and persuades him to reveal Toomes' next location. He learns that a major deal is going down on the Staten Island Ferry. Parker infiltrates the ferry and confronts Toomes' group as they meet a new buyer, Mac Gargan. Spider-Man captures Gargan, but his interference botches a sting operation set up by the FBI, who were also monitoring the sale. In the ensuing chaos, Toomes' weapon malfunctions and tears the massive ferry in half, threatening the lives of hundreds of passengers.
Parker tries desperately to hold the ship together with his webbing, but the structure is too heavy. Just as the boat begins to sink, Iron Man arrives and welds the ferry back together, saving the passengers. Afterward, Stark confronts Peter, admonishing him for his recklessness. He reminds Peter that he nearly killed dozens of people and demands the return of the advanced suit. When Peter protests that he is nothing without the suit, Stark coldly replies, "If you're nothing without the suit, then you shouldn't have it."
The Vulture's Identity
Stripped of his tech and deeply upset, Peter decides to distance himself from crimefighting and focus on his personal life. He summons the courage to ask Liz to the upcoming homecoming dance, and she accepts. Meanwhile, Toomes faces a mutiny; knowing Stark is on their trail, his workers want to leave. Toomes convinces them to pull one final, massive heist—hijacking a Stark Cargo Plane transporting weapons from Avengers Tower to the team's new headquarters—which will set them up for life.
On the night of the dance, Parker arrives at Liz's house to pick her up. When the door opens, he is paralyzed with shock: Liz's father is Adrian Toomes. Parker barely manages to maintain his composure as Toomes drives them to the school. During the tense car ride, Liz mentions Peter's unexplained absences, leading Toomes to deduce that Peter is Spider-Man. After Liz exits the car, Toomes turns to Peter with a chilling ultimatum: because Peter saved Liz's life in Washington, Toomes will spare him this once, but if Peter interferes with his business again, he will kill him and everyone he loves.
Homecoming
Inside the dance, Parker realizes Toomes is launching his final heist immediately. Torn between his safety and his duty, he apologizes to Liz and abandons her on the dance floor. He rushes to his locker to retrieve his original, homemade Spider-Man suit. As he exits the school, he is ambushed by Schultz. The Shocker batters Peter, but Ned arrives just in time to use a web-shooter to incapacitate Schultz, allowing Peter to escape.
Parker races to Toomes' lair, confronting him just as he prepares to take off. Toomes attempts to persuade Peter to see things from his perspective, framing his crimes as a struggle against the rich and powerful. When Peter refuses to stand down, Toomes triggers his Vulture wings to destroy the building's support beams, bringing the warehouse roof crashing down on top of the teenager. Trapped under tons of rubble and crying for help, Peter remembers Stark's words. finding the inner strength to prove he is a hero without the advanced suit, he lifts the debris and frees himself.
Battle on the Beach
Parker intercepts Toomes just as he boards the invisible Stark Cargo Plane mid-air. The two engage in a perilous fight on the exterior of the aircraft as it soars over New York. Toomes attempts to kill Parker with his winged suit, but the damage to the plane causes it to lose altitude. Parker steers the crashing plane away from the city, crash-landing on the beach near Coney Island. dazed and battered, the two continue their fight. Toomes seizes a crate of Arc Reactors and attempts to fly away, but his damaged wings begin to overload. Parker notices the danger and tries to save him, but the suit explodes. Parker rushes into the fire, pulls Toomes from the wreckage, and webs him up along with the cargo, leaving him to be arrested by the New York City Police Department.
The Avenger's Offer
Sometime later, Peter learns that Liz is moving to Oregon with her mother to escape the fallout of her father's arrest. Michelle Jones, who prefers to be called "MJ," replaces her as president of the decathlon team. Peter receives a call from Happy Hogan, who invites him to the Avengers' facility upstate. Impressed by Peter's growth, Stark shows him a new "Iron Spider" suit and offers him an official place in the Avengers. However, Peter politely declines, choosing to remain a "friendly neighborhood" Spider-Man for now. To cover for the press conference set up for the announcement, Stark decides to propose to Pepper Potts instead.
Upon returning to his apartment in Queens, Peter discovers that Stark has returned his upgraded suit. He puts it on and stands confidently, looking out the window. Suddenly, Aunt May, standing in the doorway behind him, sees him in the full Spider-Man gear and screams an expletive in astonishment.
Prison Encounter
In a mid-credits scene, Adrian Toomes walks through prison where he is approached by an incarcerated Mac Gargan. Gargan, sporting a scorpion tattoo on his neck, reveals that several criminals are banding together to exact vengeance against Spider-Man. He tells Toomes he heard a rumor that Toomes knows the hero's true identity. Toomes, respecting Peter for saving his life and his daughter's, denies knowing who Spider-Man is, protecting Peter's secret.
In a post-credits scene, Captain America appears in a public service announcement video. He speaks to the audience about the virtue of patience, explaining that sometimes patience is the key to victory, but other times it leads to something disappointing and makes you wonder why you waited so long. Visibly tired, he then asks the production crew how many more of these videos he has to film.
