Iron Man, the first in the Iron Man trilogy movies, was released May 2, 2008 in the U.S. Starring Robert Downey, Jr. as the title role, it chronicled the Marvel super-hero's beginnings, downfalls and resurrection. Originally, Iron Man was created during the Vietnam War but director Jon Favreau didn't want to do a "period piece" so he updated the setting to Afghanistan.
Favreau also appeared in the film as Tony Stark's chaffeur. Gwyneth Paltrow starred as Pepper Potts and Jeff Bridges appeared in a rare bad-guy role as Obadiah Stane.
American Film Institute selected Iron Man as one of the best films of the year. Empire Magazine ranked it as one of the best 500 movies of all time.
