Iron Man is a 2008 superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Directed by Jon Favreau, the film stars Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, a billionaire industrialist and master engineer who builds a powered exoskeleton and becomes the technologically advanced superhero, Iron Man. During a business trip to Afghanistan to demonstrate Stark Industries' new weapon, the "Jericho" cluster missile, Tony Stark's convoy is attacked. One of his own company's bombs lands near him and explodes. The blast causes him to lose consciousness and embeds several pieces of shrapnel in his chest, one fragment dangerously close to his heart. Approximately 36 hours earlier Tony was supposed to receive an award, but his partner collected it instead. Meanwhile Tony is at a casino gambling, and upon leaving is interviewed by a news reporter, after which they end up having a one-night stand in Tony's bed. In the morning she wakes up and is confronted by Pepper Potts, Tony's assistant, who tells her that Tony is away on a trip to Afghanistan, flashing back to the film's beginning where he gets knocked unconscious by the bomb that exploded in front of him. He wakes up some time later with an electromagnet attached to his chest. Hooked up to a car battery, the electromagnet keeps the shrapnel from entering his heart and killing him.
