Iron Man (Reboot)

Iron Man is a reboot film on the character. It is based around the events of the comics- from the origin story to the Obadiah Stane story arc. While this is an origin film, it also tells how Tony Stark in the middle of the film must overcome his problems to be Iron Man and defeat Stane.

Stark International
Tony Stark is the CEO of Stark International and is about to demonstrate the "Jericho" missile. After the demonstration, Stark and the convoy are ambushed and Stark is kidnapped by the Ten Rings, a group of terrorists lead by the warlord known as the "Mandarin". The Ten Rings order Stark to build the missile assisted by doctor Yinsen, but they decide to escape instead.

Tales of Suspense
They begin building a suit of armor powered by a battery to escape. But just as Tony Stark suits up in the armor, Yinsen makes a sacrifice to buy enough time for Stark as the Ten Rings have arrived to get them while the armor charges. The Mandarin angrily kills Yinsen and Stark, in his armor, escapes while defeating the Mandarin due to the power of his suit. Stark destroys his weapons, stolen by the Ten Rings and flies back but his energy runs low and crash lands in a jungle.

Rhodey arrives
As Stark wanders through the jungle, he finds military pilot James Rhodes fighting an enemy on a helicopter. Rhodes confronts Tony, but he reveals himself and seeks help from him. Eventually, Stark helps James take down the enemy's chopper, removing the batteries from the copter and they are used to charge Stark's suit. They go back to America and become best friends, and so Tony also names him "Rhodey".

Return
Tony returns with Rhodey. At Stark Industries Tony reveals that the company is no longer making weapons, which disappoints everyone including his close secretary Pepper Potts, and secretly begins continuing on upgrading his armor and makes it less bulky and so while fighting crime he is seen by the public and named "Iron Man".

Changing Iron Man
However, the less-bulky armor has not lost some of the previous amount of weight and Tony is forced to return to his lab and forges a completely new armor for his superheroic activities.
