Synopsis:
Tony Stark, the rich and successful businessman behind Stark Industries, one of the biggest weapon manufacturers in the world, is taken captive by terrorists while on a trip to Afghanistan. They want him to create a weapon for them or they will kill him. Tony tries to come up with a plan that will get him out of captivity, but he ends up being injured severely. A fellow captive, Dr. Yinsen, saves his life by implanting a magnet to his chest. The terrorists, led by Raza, demand that he build the weapon, but Tony pretends to work on it while actually constructing a suit that will help him escape.
With the help of Yinsen, Tony creates the Iron Man suit, which he uses to defeat the terrorists and escape. After returning home to the US, Tony discovers that his own company has been supplying weapons to his captors. Disgusted by the realization that his weapons are being used to kill innocent people, Tony decides to shut down Stark Industries’ weapons division.
As Tony begins to work on his prototype Iron Man suit, he is helped by his loyal assistant, Pepper Potts. Tony is under scrutiny from his business partner, Obadiah Stane, who is working behind his back to keep the weapons division of Stark Industries running. Tony’s efforts to create a new and better suit turn out to be fruitful, and he reveals his creation to the world for the first time at a charity event.
