Spoiler-free synopsis
Tony Stark tries to regain his balance after experiences that have changed his view of the world. A new threat forces him to act when his security and resources no longer seem sufficient. Through investigation, improvisation and personal decisions, the film explores how much of the hero lies in the man behind the armour.
The story takes Tony away from some of his comforts and tests his ability to solve problems with limited resources. His relationship with Pepper and the unease he carries after New York give the adventure an intimate dimension. It retains his humour while confronting him with questions that another invention cannot easily answer.
