The protagonist of this film is a man named Tony Stark. He is the current owner of Stark Industries, an arms manufacturer. At one point he was abducted by terrorists while on a tour of Afghanistan with the US military. He is then imprisoned in a cave, where he meets another professor. Terrorists surgically attach something to Tony’s body that generates energy. They both try to escape and they create a weapon for that. It is the original design of the Iron Man costume. Using this design, Tony Stark escapes from the scene.
