Plot: Sometime after the events of The Avengers, a haunted Tony Stark has obsessively built several Iron Man suits in his mansion. This causes friction with his girlfriend, new Stark Industries chief Pepper Potts. In a flashback to New Year's Eve 1999, Stark, with his scientist paramour Maya Hansen, arrogantly avoids crippled scientist Aldrich Killian, who wants Stark's backing in his endeavor Advanced Idea Mechanics (AIM).
In present-day America, a string of bombings by terrorist the Mandarin has left intelligence agencies bewildered at the lack of forensic evidence. When Stark Industries security chief Happy Hogan
is caught in one such attack, Stark overcomes his stupor and issues a
televised threat to the Mandarin, who responds by destroying Stark's
home with helicopter gunships. Potts and Hansen, who had come to warn
Stark, survive the attack. Stark is flown to rural Tennessee by his artificial intelligence JARVIS,
following a flight plan from his investigation into the Mandarin.
Stark's experimental armor lacks sufficient power to return to
California, and the world believes him dead.
Teaming with Harley, a precocious 10-year-old boy, Stark investigates
the remains of a local explosion bearing the hallmarks of a Mandarin
attack. He discovers the explosions were triggered by soldiers from the
Extremis program, an experimental treatment intended to allow its users
to recover from crippling injuries. However, if a user's body cannot
properly metabolize Extremis, the user heats up and explodes. After
veterans started growing unstable and exploding, their deaths were used
to cover up Extremis' flaws by manufacturing a terrorist plot. Stark
witnesses Extremis firsthand when Mandarin agents Ellen Brandt and Eric Savin attack him.
With Harley's help, Stark traces the Mandarin to Miami. Stark
infiltrates the headquarters using a variety of home-made weapons.
Inside he discovers the Mandarin is actually a British actor named
Trevor Slattery, who is oblivious to the acts the Mandarin has carried
out. The Mandarin is a creation of Killian, who appropriated Maya's
Extremis research as a cure for his own disability and expanded the
program to include injured war veterans. Killian reveals he is the true
Mandarin and has kidnapped Potts and subjected her to Extremis,
intending to infuse her with superhuman abilities and turn her against
Stark as leverage to gain Stark's aid in fixing Extremis's flaws.
Killian has also manipulated American intelligence agencies regarding the Mandarin's location, luring James Rhodes — the former War Machine, now rebranded as the Iron Patriot
— into a trap to steal the armor. Stark escapes his captivity and
reunites with Rhodes, discovering that Killian intends to attack
President Ellis aboard Air Force One
by sending his bodyguard Savin on the plane wearing the Iron Patriot.
Remotely controlling his Iron Man armor, Stark saves the surviving
passengers and crew but cannot stop Killian from abducting Ellis using
the Iron Patriot suit that Savin brought and served as the President's
captor. They trace Killian to an impounded oil drilling platform where
Killian intends to kill Ellis on live television. The Vice President
will become a puppet leader, following Killian's orders in exchange for
Extremis to cure his daughter's disability.
On the platform, Stark goes to save Potts, and Rhodes saves the
President. Stark summons each of his Iron Man suits, controlled remotely
by JARVIS, to provide air support. Rhodes secures the President and
leads him to safety, while Stark discovers Potts has survived the
Extremis procedure. However, before he can save her, a rig collapses
around them and she falls to her apparent death. Stark is forced into
confronting Killian and traps him in an Iron Man suit that
self-destructs, but fails to kill him. Potts, whose Extremis powers
allowed her to survive her fall, intervenes and finishes Killian once
and for all.
After the battle, Stark orders JARVIS to destroy each Iron Man suit
remotely, as a sign of his intention to devote more time to Potts. The
Vice President and Slattery are arrested. Potts undergoes surgery to
remove Extremis, and Stark to remove the shrapnel embedded near his
heart. He pitches his obsolete chest arc reactor into the sea, musing he
will always be Iron Man, even without his armor.
In a post-credits scene, it is revealed Stark has been recounting his experiences to Dr. Bruce Banner, who awakens, having fallen asleep at the beginning of Stark's story.(Original Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Man_3)
