Based on the long-running Marvel comic book series,
Iron Man
tells the story of Tony Stark, the enigmatic heir to the Stark
Enterprises fortune. A driven inventor and executive who seems to have
it all, Tony is haunted by his dark side. Though he commands his empire
by day, by night he secretly becomes "Iron Man", the living embodiment
of decades of defense spending and innovation. Strapping on billions of
dollars worth of state-of-the-art armor and weaponry each night to
fight crime, terrorism and corporate espionage, Tony begins to crack
under the strain of his fractured lifestyle and must ultimately
confront the one enemy he can never beat -- himself.
