Iron Man is a 2008 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Paramount Pictures, it is the first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Directed by Jon Favreau from a screenplay by the writing teams of Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, and Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, the film stars Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man alongside Terrence Howard, Jeff Bridges, Shaun Toub, and Gwyneth Paltrow. In the film, following his escape from captivity by a terrorist group, world famous industrialist and master engineer Tony Stark builds a mechanized suit of armor and becomes the superhero Iron Man.
A film featuring the character was in development at Universal Pictures, 20th Century Fox, and New Line Cinema at various times since 1990, before Marvel Studios reacquired the rights in 2005. Marvel put the project into production as the first self-funded film distributed by Paramount Pictures. Favlow signed the director in April 2006 and faced opposition from Marvel when he tried to cast Downey into the title role. The actor was signed in September. The filming took place from March to June 2007, primarily in California, distinguishing it from the stories of many other superheroes set up in an environment like New York City. During filming, the actor was able to create his own dialogue as a pre-production focused on stories and plots. A version of rubber and metal armor made by the Stan Winston company was mixed with computer-generated images to create the title character. The
Iron Man premiered in Sydney on April 14, 2008 and was released in the United States on May 2 as the first Phase 1 film of the MCU. With total revenues of over $ 585 million, it was the eighth highest-paying movie in 2008. The film was particularly well received for Downey's performances, Favreau's staging, visual effects, action scenes, and screenplays. Selected by the American Film Institute as one of the Top 10 Films of 2008, it received two nominations for Best Audio Editing and Best Visual Effects at the 81st Academy Awards. Two sequels have been released, Iron Man 2 (2010) and Iron Man 3 (2013).
Story of the Movie :
Inheriting defense contractor Stark Industries from his late father Howard Stark, Tony Stark was devastated in a war with his friend and military liaison Lieutenant James Rhodes to demonstrate the new "Jericho" missile. I'm in Afghanistan. After the demonstration, the convoy was ambushed and Stark was severely injured by one of the attacker's missiles, his own missile. He was captured by a terrorist group called Tenling and imprisoned in a cave. Insen, who was also captured by a doctor, embedded an electromagnet in Stark's chest to prevent the shrapnel that hurt him from reaching his heart and killing him. Tenling leader Laza offers Stark's freedom in exchange for making Jericho missiles for the group, but he and Insen know that Laza doesn't keep his word.
Stark and Insen secretly build a small, powerful generator called the Arc Reactor to power Stark's electromagnets and build a prototype power armor to help them escape. Despite hiding the suit until it's almost complete, Tenling discovers the hostage's intent and attacks the workshop. While her suit powers up, Insen sacrifices herself to distract her. Armored Stark fights to find Insen dying out of the cave, then angry and burns Tenling's weapons to fly away, crashing into the desert and destroying his suit. After being rescued by Rhodes, Stark returned home and announced that his company would stop producing guns. Ovadia Stan, the father's old partner and company manager, advises Stark that doing so could ruin Stark Industries and his father's legacy. At his home workshop, Stark builds a more sophisticated and more powerful version of the improvised armor suit and a more powerful arc reactor for himself and his chest. Personal assistant Pepper Potts puts the original reactor in a small glass case. Despite Stan asking for details, the suspicious Stark decides to keep his job on his own.
At a Stark Industry charity event, reporter Christine Everhart informs Stark that his company's weapons have recently been delivered to Tenling and used to attack Insen's hometown of Grumira. Stark wears new armor and flies to Afghanistan, where he rescues the villagers. On his return flight, Stark was attacked by two F-22 Raptors. He reveals his secret identity to Rhodes over the phone to stop the attack. Meanwhile, Tenring collects parts from Stark's prototype suit, sells guns to Tenling, meets Stan, who organized a coup to hire Tenring on behalf of Stark as CEO of Stark Industry, and kills him. He subdued Laza and killed the rest of the group. Stan has a huge new suit recreated from the rubble. Stark sends pots to hack the database to track the company's illegal shipments. She found that Stan had hired Tenring to kill Stark, but the group was indignant when he realized that there was a direct route to Stark's weapons. Potts meets Phil Coulson, an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and writes to him about Stan's activities.
Stan's scientists can't replicate Stark's miniaturized arc reactor, so Stan attacks Stark at home and steals Stark from his chest. Stark managed to reach his original reactor to replace it before his death. Potts and some S.H.I.E.L.D.agents try to arrest Stan, but he wears a suit and attacks them. Stark fights Stan, but without a new reactor to keep his suit running at full capacity, he is unrivaled. The battle brings Stark and Stan to the top of Stark Industries' building, and Stark orders Potts to overload the large arc reactor that powers the building. This causes a massive surge of electricity, dropping Stan and his armor into an exploding reactor and killing him. At a press conference the next day, Stark publicly acknowledged that the press was a superhero dubbing "Iron Man." In the scene after
credits, S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury visits Stark's house, telling him that Iron Man isn't "the only superhero alive," and says he wants to talk about the "Avenger Initiative."
