3 Dev Adam

3 Dev Adam (Üç Dev Adam; translated as 3 Giant Men and is sometimes referred to as Captain America And Santo Vs. Spider-Man, but is mostly referred to as Turkish Spider-Man) is a 1973 Turkish superhero film directed by T. Fikret Uçak and written by Doğan Tamer, based on characters created by Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, Joe Simon and Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta, featuring Aytekin Akkaya as Captain America and Yavuz Selekman as El Santo. Captain America and El Santo are called to Istanbul on a special mission to stop the villainous Spider-Man and the rest of his vicious heinous criminal gang.

The Turksploitation film, which went on nationwide general release across the country on November 1, 1973 (1973-11-01), was completely unauthorized by the copyright owners of the characters depicted. The film was popular and thus spawned other rip-offs of many other similar major Hollywood productions.[citation needed]

The story unfolds in Istanbul with a violent criminal organization led by Spider-Man, a former professional wrestler turned supervillain, lashing out in the city by flooding it with counterfeit money. In a horrifying act, members of Spider-Man's organization mutilate a woman's face by using a boat propeller. In response to the crisis, a small task force, comprising Captain America, El Santo, and Captain America's girlfriend and sidekick Julia, come forth to assist the local police in apprehending Spider-Man and the rest of his dastardly outfit of criminal outlaws.

Julia, who successfully infiltrates Spider-Man's hideout, gets captured and transported to a remote location. Despite the perilous situation, she manages to send an SOS signal to Captain America. Captain America rescues Julia, but Spider-Man eludes capture. Simultaneously, Mexico's national professional wrestler and superhero, El Santo, infiltrates the counterfeit operation that doubles as a dojo. After being captured briefly, Santo escapes with some very important incriminating evidence.

Captain America and El Santo embark on a mission to raid the hideout central to the counterfeiting operation, successfully shutting it down. However, Spider-Man seizes the opportunity to commit further crimes, such as killing some people and stealing statues, prompting him to flee because of the inclusion of the criminal actions. Subsequently, another confrontation between the heroes and Spider-Man unfolds, revealing the ability of Spider-Man to spawn duplicates of himself spontaneously.

In an attempt to apprehend Spider-Man, Captain America and Santo go undercover in a nightclub, leading to a fierce confrontation with Spider-Man's gang. Appearing to be overwhelmed, the heroes deliberately get themselves captured and taken to Spider-Man's hideout. Captain America and Santo feign infighting, confusing their captors and enabling their escape. They eliminate most of the gang members during a brief impromptu brawl, but then Spider-Man arrives with his girlfriend.

During the ensuing chaos, Spider-Man's girlfriend is accidentally struck by a stray bullet from a gang member's gun and gets fatally wounded. Spider-Man flees with Captain America in direct pursuit. After a grueling battle, Captain America seemingly defeats Spider-Man, but only to be confronted by another Spider-Man and another Spider-Man to yet another Spider-Man and to even yet another Spider-Man. The fight intensifies until each Spider-Man is ultimately defeated.

As the protagonists prepare to depart Istanbul, Captain America, driven by suspicion, notices a figure resembling Spider-Man sitting in the back of a taxi. Reacting impulsively, he runs to the taxi, then reaches inside, pulls the person's head by their mask through the window and unmasks him. But only to his dismay, he surprisingly discovers that it's just a very young boy wearing a Spider-Man professional wrestling mask.
