Now that the world knows that billionaire industrialist Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is Iron Man, Tony seeks to
underscore the benefits of the Iron Man suit by re-launching his late father's extravagant Stark Expo, a showcase for the humanitarian innovations inspired by its technology.

As the US government insists that Tony turn the revolutionary weapon over to the military, Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke), a mysterious figure from the Stark family's past, sets out to destroy Tony by revealing his own devastating weapon based on Stark's technology.

Overwhelmed on all fronts, while also facing his own personal demons, Tony must finally call on his allies - old and new - to help him confront the gathering forces that threaten to destroy him and all of mankind.

Downey is joined by an all-star cast of heroes and villains, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Sam Rockwell and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.
