From
Marvel Studios and

Iron Man, an action-packed take on the tale of wealthy philanthropist
Tony Stark (
Robert Downey Jr.), who develops an invulnerable robotic suit to fight the throes of evil. In addition to being filthy rich, billionaire industrialist
Tony Stark is also a genius inventor. When
Stark is kidnapped and forced to build a diabolical weapon, he instead uses his intelligence and ingenuity to construct an indestructible suit of armor and escape his captors. Once free,
Stark discovers a deadly conspiracy that could destabilize the entire globe, and dons his powerful new suit on a mission to stop the villains and save the world.
Gwyneth Paltrow co-stars as his secretary,
Virginia "Pepper" Potts, while
Terrence Howard fills the role of
Jim "Rhodey" Rhodes, one of
Stark's colleagues, whose military background leads him to help in the formation of the suit.
Jon Favreau directs, with
Marvel movie veterans
Avi Arad and
