Mary Jane Watson has landed her big break. She wins the lead role in a major Hollywood action movie, and the cameras are ready to roll. But special effects master Mysterio watches from the shadows, burning with envy as Mary Jane basks in the spotlight he believes should be his. His jealousy consumes him until he hatches a plan to steal back the attention he craves. Mysterio kidnaps Mary Jane to sabotage the film production and reclaim his place in the limelight. Now Spider-Man must navigate Mysterio's maze of illusions and deceptions to rescue the woman he loves.
