The clip comes from Sam Raimi’s 2002 film Spider-Man, in which Ben Parker, played by Cliff Robertson, gives Peter Parker the lesson that defines his approach to heroism. The wording also echoes the closing narration of Spider-Man’s 1962 debut in Amazing Fantasy No. 15, although that comic did not present it as Uncle Ben’s spoken line. Reposts, quote compilations, and superhero edits helped turn the movie delivery into reusable audio. It remains recognizable because it compresses the franchise’s central moral into a few seconds.
About this sound
Ben Parker's famous “great power” quote from Spider-Man (2002), a brief voice clip used in heroic edits, responsibility jokes, and dramatic reactions.
This short dialogue clip captures Uncle Ben Parker delivering the moral at the heart of Spider-Man: great power must be matched by great responsibility. His calm, serious voice gives the words a fatherly weight, while the compact runtime lets the message land immediately. In an edit, it can make a heroic decision feel earned, turn an ordinary task into an exaggerated duty, or set up an ironic cut to someone using a tiny amount of authority badly. The familiar phrasing also signals Spider-Man without needing visuals or musical cues.
