IRON MAN
Tony Stark, who has
inherited the defense contractor Stark Industries from his father, is in
war-torn Afghanistan with his friend and military liaison, Lieutenant Colonel
James Rhodes to demonstrate the new "Jericho" missile. The convoy is ambushed
and Stark is critically wounded by one of his own missiles, he is captured and
imprisoned in a cave by the terrorist group the Ten Rings. An electromagnet
grafted into Stark's chest by fellow captive Yinsen keeps the shrapnel shell
shards that wounded him from reaching his heart and killing him. Ten Rings
leader Raza offers Stark freedom in exchange for building a Jericho missile for
the group, but Tony and Yinsen agree Raza will not keep his word.
Stark and Yinsen secretly build a
powerful electric generator called an arc reactor, to power Stark's
electromagnet, and then begin to secretly build a suit of armor powered by the
reactor, to escape. The armored Stark battles his way out of the cave to find
the dying Yinsen, then an enraged Stark burns the Ten Rings weapons and flies
away, only to crash in the desert, destroying the suit. After being later
rescued by Rhodes, Stark returns home and announces that his company will no
longer manufacture weapons. In his home workshop, Stark builds an improved
version of his suit, as well as a more powerful arc reactor for his chest.
Personal assistant Pepper Potts places the original reactor inside a small
glass showcase. Stane requests details but Stark keeps his work to himself.
Stark learns Stane is trying to
replace him as head of the company. Enraged by these revelations, Stark dons
his new armor and flies to Afghanistan, where he saves Yinsen's village. While
flying home, Stark is shot at by two F-22 Raptor fighter jets. He phones Rhodes
and reveals his secret identity in an attempt to end the attack. Meanwhile, the
Ten Rings gather the pieces of Stark's prototype suit and meet with Stane, who
subdues Raza with a sonic device and has the rest of the group eliminated.
Seeking to find any other weapons delivered to the Ten Rings, Stark sends
Pepper to hack into the company computer system from Stane's office. She
discovers Stane has been supplying the terrorists and hired the Ten Rings to
kill Stark, but the group reneged. Potts meets with Agent Phil Coulson of
S.H.I.E.L.D., a counter-terrorism agency, to inform him of Stane's activities.
Stane's scientists cannot duplicate
Stark's arc reactor so Stane ambushes Stark at home and takes his arc reactor.
Stark manages to crawl to his lab, break the showcase, and plug in his original
reactor. Potts and several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents attempt to arrest Stane, but he
dons his suit and attacks them. Stark fights Stane, but is overmatched without
his new reactor to run his suit at full capacity. Stark lures Stane atop the
Stark Industries building and instructs Potts to overload the large arc reactor
there. This unleashes a massive electrical surge that knocks Stane unconscious,
causing him and his armor to fall into the exploding reactor, killing him. The
next day, at a press conference, Stark admits to being the superhero the press
has dubbed "Iron Man".
I like Robert Downey Jr. as Tony
Stark in this film because he is very nice plays as iron man. Looks perfect
when wearing armor. with a full complement of weapons
in that armor. when firing
a missile is amazing. overall he was very suitable to act as iron man.
