Eddie Brock was a journalist, his job required following people that didn't want to be followed, hiding out of plain sight. He was in a relationship with Anne Weying (Michelle Williams) a lawyer who worked for a firm that represented the Life Foundation. Eddie was engaged to Anne.
As the film progressed, Eddie was told by the firm he worked for, to interview Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed) the multi-billionaire CEO of Life Foundation firm. Carlton Drake was a scientist, he had the belief that humanity was doomed and thought of a way humans could survive beyond Earth, and his solution was to bond humans with aliens (symbiotes), thereby making it possible for the bonded species to live in space.

But Eddie had a hunch that Darke was a bad guy due to the rumors of him using people as lab rats. Eddie then pried into Anne's computer and came across confidential documents of the Life Foundation. With the information Eddie had gathered from Anne's computer, he interviewed Drake based on it.
Eddie asked Drake about the rumors of him using humans as lab rats for his unethical experiments, this unauthorized line of questioning got him fired by his firm and Anne lost her job too. This led to their break up as Anne felt used, so she called off the engagement.

After months, a scientist from the Life Foundation contacted Eddie telling him his hunch was right all along. Eddie then sneaked into the Life Foundation laboratory with the help of the scientist to gather pieces of information against Drake and his firm, but he accidentally got infected with a parasite— an alien (symbiote). He started experiencing strange symptoms while struggling to co-exist with the creature. Drake found out Eddie had bonded with the alien (symbiote) and ordered his men to capture him. But they were no match for this alien (symbiote) which was called Venom.
Venom demonstrated his power with ease and dealt with them.

However, as Venom had bonded with Eddie, another alien (symbiote) named Riot had also bonded with Drake. Drake and Riot shared the same goal of bringing more symbiotes to rule the Earth while Eddie and Venom had the same goal of saving Earth and stopping Drake and Riot.

In the final battle, Venom (in its host’s body) had to battle with Riot (in its host’s body) but Riot was way stronger than Venom. With Anne’s help, Venom and Eddie ultimately destroyed Riot and Drake and stopped him from bringing in more aliens (symbiotes).

In my candid opinion, this is an excellent movie. Tom Hardy and Ahmed played the hero and villain roles (respectively) so well. They were the stars of the movie.
