Spoiler-free synopsis
The world now knows Iron Man's identity, but fame does not make Tony Stark's life any easier. Political pressure, business rivals and problems with his own technology force him to reconsider what wearing the armour means. Meanwhile, the people around him begin to connect with an organisation monitoring potential heroes.
Tony faces several pressures at once: maintaining his independence, protecting his friends and proving that his invention will not fall into the wrong hands. Industrial rivalry and his physical limitations give the action a personal dimension. The film also shows how his friendship with Rhodey changes.
