How did this come about, and what impact does it have on the world today? This is what the Spider's Web sets out to investigate.

Memorable, crazy movie
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Blistering performances.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
