Contains every spoiler, up to the ending.

Part 1: Cleaning up the wreckage

A job taken away

Right after the Battle of New York, Adrian Toomes and his crew have just started a big cleanup contract. Then an agency set up by Tony Stark and the government takes over, and they're out.

Alien weapons

Toomes uses alien tech his crew held on to and starts building weapons and selling them to criminals. He builds a mechanical wing suit to fly himself.

Part 2: The boy who can't wait

Peter's video

It opens with Peter's phone videos of being called to the battle in Germany. Back home, Tony lets him keep the suit and tells him to wait until he's called.

Neighborhood patrols

Two months later, Peter suits up after school to patrol the neighborhood, catching bike thieves and giving directions. He calls Happy daily with reports, and hears nothing back.

Ned finds out

Peter stops ATM robbers using alien-tech weapons. Back home, his best friend Ned sees him in the suit.

Party night

Slipping out of Liz's party, Peter spots a weapons deal. The winged Vulture drops him into a lake, and a remote-controlled Iron Man suit saves him.

Part 3: The suit's real power

Karen

With Ned's help, Peter unlocks the suit's restrictions, and the AI inside starts talking to him. He names her Karen. The suit has hundreds of features.

The Washington Monument

On the academic decathlon trip to Washington, Peter learns his friends are trapped in a failing elevator in the monument. He climbs the outside and saves them just in time.

The ferry disaster

Peter finds another deal on the Staten Island Ferry and tries to stop it alone. A weapon misfires and splits the ferry in two. Tony arrives and holds it together.

The suit taken away

Tony takes back the suit. Peter ruined an FBI operation and put many lives at risk. "If you're nothing without this suit, then you shouldn't have it."

Part 4: Homecoming night

Liz's father

Peter asks Liz to the homecoming dance. When he picks her up, the man who opens the door is Toomes, the Vulture, Liz's father.

Talking in the car

Driving them to the dance, Toomes figures out who Peter is. Before they get out, he thanks Peter for saving his daughter, then quietly threatens to kill everyone he loves if he interferes.

The homemade suit

Peter leaves Liz at the dance and changes into his old homemade suit. Ned helps from the school as Peter fights Toomes's partner, the Shocker.

Under the rubble

Toomes brings the building down on Peter. Trapped, he cries for help, then sees his reflection in a puddle, tells himself to get up, and lifts the rubble off himself.

Part 5: The fight in the sky

The Avengers' cargo

Toomes attacks a plane carrying the Avengers' gear to their new base. Peter leaps onto the plane and fights him in the sky.

The crash on the beach

The plane crashes on the beach near Coney Island. When Toomes's damaged wings are about to explode, Peter pulls him from the fire and leaves him webbed up for the police.

Goodbye to Liz

With her father arrested, Liz moves away.

Part 6: Afterward

The Avengers offer

Tony offers Peter a place in the Avengers, with a new suit and a press conference. Peter turns it down to stay a neighborhood hero. Tony ends up announcing his engagement to Pepper instead.
