Iron Man (2008)

Oscar nominee Robert Downey, Jr. stars as Tony Stark/Iron Man in the story of a billionaire industrialist and genius inventor who is kidnapped and forced to build a devastating weapon.

When he uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications, he dons his powerful armor and vows to protect the world as Iron Man.
