Iron Man is the story of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), a billionaire industrialist and genius inventor. Tony Stark is in Afghanistan to introduce his new missile design to the Air Force until the unit he is travelling with is attacked and Stark is taken hostage. Injured by shrapnel embedded near his heart, he is ordered by his captors to assemble a missile for them, and they give him access to a workshop. He puts his creativity to use by assembling a bullet-proof set of power armour, complete with pacemaker and flamethrowers, and uses it to free himself. Back at home, he becomes Iron Man, developing a flying suit with the red and gold scheme and advanced weapon capabilities. In the film Stark faces the super villain Iron Monger (Jeff Bridges).
