PG-13 for some intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, and brief suggestive content.
In addition to being filthy rich, billionaire industrialist Tony Stark is also a genius inventor. When Stark is kidnapped by a warlord in Afghanistan and forced to build a diabolical weapon, he instead uses his intelligence and ingenuity to construct an indestructible suit of armor and escape his captors. Once free, Stark discovers a deadly conspiracy that could destabilize the entire globe, and dons his powerful new suit on a mission to stop the villains and fight the throes of evil. His assistant Pepper Pots, friend Rhodey, and right-hand man Obadiah Stane all marvel at the change in the man they knew.
