Billionaire Industrialist and Inventor Tony Stark is kidnapped and forced to create a devastating weapon. Instead he creates a high-tech suit of armor and escapes. Upon his return to America he must come to terms with his past, he also uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications.
Clearly one of the more mediocre of the Marvel comic film adaptions, though Iron Man is easily better then the theatrical cut of Daredevil. Both Jeff Bridges and Robert Downey Jr are great but they don’t do enough to save this film.
