Synopsis
Tony Stark recalls
a New Years Eve party in 1999 where he meets scientist Maya Hansen, the inventor of Extremis, an experimental
regenerative treatment intended to allow recovery from crippling injuries.
Disabled scientist Aldrich Killian offers
them a place in his company Advanced
Idea Mechanics, but Stark rejects the offer,
humiliating Killian. . . . . . . .
Introduction
Years
later, Stark's experiences during the alien invasion of New York are giving him panic attacks.
Restless, he has built several dozen Iron Man suits, creating friction with his
girlfriend Pepper Potts.
Meanwhile, a string of bombings by a terrorist known only as the Mandarin has left intelligence agencies
bewildered by a lack of forensic evidence. Stark's security chief Happy Hogan is badly injured in a Mandarin attack,
forcing Stark to issues a televised threat to the Mandarin, who responds by
destroying Stark's home with helicopter gunships. Hansen, who came to warn
Stark, survives the attack along with Potts. Stark escapes in an Iron Man suit,
which his artificial intelligence JARVIS pilots to rural Tennessee, following a
flight plan from Stark's investigation into the Mandarin. Stark's experimental
armor lacks sufficient power to return to California, and the world believes
him dead.
Teaming
with Harley, a precocious 10-year-old boy, Stark investigates the remains of a
local explosion bearing the hallmarks of a Mandarin attack. He discovers the
"bombings" were triggered by soldiers subjected to Extremis, which at
this stage of development can cause certain subjects to explosively reject it.
After veterans started exploding, these explosions were falsely attributed to a
terrorist plot in order to cover up Extremis' flaws. Stark witnesses Extremis
firsthand when Mandarin agents Ellen Brandt and Eric Savin attack him.
CLIMAX
With
Harley's help, Stark traces the Mandarin to Miami and infiltrates his headquarters using
improvised weapons. Inside he discovers the Mandarin is actually a British
actor named Trevor Slattery, who claims he is oblivious to the actions carried
out in his name. Killian, who appropriated Hansen's Extremis research as a cure
for his own disability and expanded the program to include injured war
veterans, reveals he is the real Mandarin, using Slattery as a cover. After
capturing Stark, Killian kidnaps Potts and subjects her to Extremis to gain
Stark's aid in fixing Extremis' flaws and thereby saving Potts. Killian kills
Hansen when she has a change of heart about the plan.
Killian
has also manipulated American intelligence agencies regarding the Mandarin's
location, luring James Rhodes—the
former War Machine, now re-branded as the Iron Patriot—into
a trap to steal the armor. Stark escapes and reunites with Rhodes, discovering
that Killian intends to attack President Ellis aboard Air Force One.
Remotely controlling his Iron Man armor, Stark saves some surviving passengers
and crew but cannot stop Killian from abducting Ellis and destroying Air Force
One. They trace Killian to an impounded damaged oil tanker where Killian
intends to kill Ellis on live television. The vice president will become a
puppet leader, following Killian's orders in exchange for Extremis to cure a
little girl's disability.
RESOLUTION
On
the platform, Stark goes to save Potts, as Rhodes saves the president. Stark
summons his Iron Man suits, controlled remotely by JARVIS, to provide air
support. Rhodes secures the president and takes him to safety, while Stark
discovers Potts has survived the Extremis procedure. However, before he can
save her, a rig collapses around them and she falls to her assumed death. Stark
confronts Killian and traps him in an Iron Man suit that self-destructs, but
fails to kill him. Potts, whose Extremis powers allowed her to survive her
fall, intervenes and kills Killian.
After
the battle, Stark orders JARVIS to remotely destroy each Iron Man suit as a
sign of his devotion to Potts. The vice president and Slattery are arrested.
With Stark's help, Potts' Extremis effects are stabilized, and Stark undergoes
surgery to remove the shrapnel embedded near his heart. He pitches his obsolete
chest arc reactor into the sea, musing he will always be Iron Man.
In
a present day post-credits scene, Stark wakes up Dr. Bruce
Banner, who fell asleep listening to Stark's story.
MORAL
VALUE
Pretty much the same one as the first two: the negative
consequences of arrogance in our dealings with other people. Tony Stark once
again has to face the repercussions of his dissolute past as a man he slighted
years ago (ably played by Guy Pearce) comes back for
revenge not just on Stark, but on the whole world. Stark’s thoughtless cruelty
to someone who seemed unworthy of his time and attention (i.e., wasn’t an attractive
blonde) only lasted a moment, but had consequences that lasted far into the
future. Not that the villain is completely without blame—he is a criminal
mastermind, after all—but the film recognizes that our actions in the present
have an effect on the future.
