Wealthy defense contractor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) is kidnapped in Afghanistan while demonstrating his company's latest missiles. He escapes by secretly building a suit outfitted with weapons and able to fly. Back home, he declares his company will no longer produce weapons for war. He clashes with his manager Jeff Bridges, who hires Afghan rebels to assassinate him and build their own superhero suit. This leads to the inevitable Big Action Climax betwee Stark and Bridges in their respective suits. A romantic subplot involves Stark and his naive, pretty assistant Gwyneth Paltrow. Predictable, cliched and incredibly popular film that kicked off the "Marvel Cinematic Universe" which is still going strong today.
