After a scandal nearly wrecks his career, journalist Eddie Brock (Hardy) attempts to get his life back on track by investigating a shady organisation that’s conducting a series of mysterious experiments. A visit to one of the organisation’s labs brings him into contact with an alien symbiote that bonds with Brock, granting him superpowers as long as they share the same body, and together they form an uneasy alliance to become the creature known as Venom…
