Ironman is the first film in the Marvel Avengers series. Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) is a billionaire weapon manufacturer and inventor. He is kidnapped by terrorists who want him to build a weapon, but instead he invents an armoured suit to escape and then uses it to combat crime assisted by his PA Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow).
It is easy to follow for those unfamiliar with the Marvel universe (like me) and there is a post credits scene. leading on to future films.
