He is captured and held captive in a cave by the Ten Rings, led by Raza. There, he meets fellow captive Ho Yinsen, a doctor and engineer who saves Tony's life by implanting an electromagnet in his chest, powered by a car battery, to prevent the shrapnel from reaching his heart. Raza demands that Tony build a Jericho missile for them. However, knowing Raza will not keep his word, Tony and Yinsen secretly work together to build a miniaturized arc reactor to power the electromagnet and a prototype armored suit for escape. This crude but formidable suit, the Mark I, is made from scavenged parts and limited weaponry. Yinsen sacrifices himself to buy Tony enough time to power up and escape, urging Tony not to waste his life. Tony uses the Mark I to fight his way out of the cave, destroying the Ten Rings' weapons cache before crashing in the desert and being rescued by his friend and military liaison, Lt. Colonel James "Rhodey" Rhodes.
Upon returning home to Malibu, Tony announces a radical change: Stark Industries will cease manufacturing weapons. This decision shocks the company's board and his business partner, Obadiah Stane, who had been secretly profiting from illegal weapons sales. Tony then dedicates himself to perfecting his armored suit, creating the sleeker Mark II and eventually the iconic red-and-gold Mark III, powered by an advanced arc reactor he builds. He tests the suit and uses it to dismantle a cell of the Ten Rings in Afghanistan, rectifying the harm caused by his weapons. ‚
Meanwhile, Stane becomes increasingly agitated by Tony's actions. He discovers Tony's plans and secretly tries to reverse-engineer the Mark I armor left behind by the Ten Rings. Stane's scientists struggle to replicate Tony's miniaturized arc reactor technology. Stane eventually confronts Tony, paralyzes him with a sonic device, and steals the arc reactor from Tony's chest, leaving him to die. Tony barely survives by replacing it with his original, less powerful reactor. ƒ
Pepper Potts, Tony's loyal assistant, discovers Stane's treachery while trying to find evidence of his illicit weapons dealings. She learns that Stane was responsible for Tony's capture in the first place. Pepper alerts S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and they attempt to apprehend Stane. However, Stane dons his own massive suit of armor, the "Iron Monger," and overpowers them. „
The film culminates in a fierce battle between Iron Man and Iron Monger at Stark Industries. Tony, with Pepper's help, manages to overload the main arc reactor at the building, which incapacitates Stane and causes his Iron Monger suit to fall into the exploding reactor, leading to Stane's demise. …
In the aftermath, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson attempts to provide Tony with a cover story for the press. However, at a highly anticipated press conference, Tony disregards the prepared statement and boldly declares to the world, "I am Iron Man," ushering in a new era of superheroes. In a post-credits scene, Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., approaches Tony to discuss "the Avengers Initiative," hinting at a larger interconnected universe. †
