Everything changes when Peter discovers a briefcase which belonged to his father and decides to investigate his parents' dissapereance. This leads him to Oscorp, where he infiltrates; there. he finds his father's former partner, Curt Connors, who's in a research about adapting other species' genes into the human body in order to cure sicknesses. Before leaving Oscorp, a spider biteshis neck, which causes his body to mutate.

Genetics in the movie.

Perhaps the biggest plot hole in the film comes after Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), with the assistance of Peter Parker, figures out a new formula to merge lizard DNA with other species in order to help them regenerate cells and heal themselves, something important to Conners who is missing his right arm. Once a lab mouse shows promising results, Connors' superior Rajit Ratha (played by Irrfan Khan) wants him to jump straight to human trials and threatens to can Connors if he doesn't follow through. There's allusions to a similar stand that Parker's father took which may have led to his demise as well, but no more details are given. Here the thread to Parker's past and the different origin story to his becoming Spider-Man begins. However, after Connors decides to test the new formula on himself, he learns Ratha is already on his way to a veterans hospital to test the formula on a different subject. Before he can stop him, Connors transforms into The Lizard and wreaks havoc across the city trying to stop Ratha.
