Reel Reads: Iron Man

Iron Man, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow, opens in movie theatres today!  Based on the fictional comic book super hero created by Stan Lee, Iron Man tells the story of Tony Stark, a wealthy industrialist and inventor, who is kidnapped and forced to create a dangerous weapon.  Instead, he builds a high-tech suit of armor that gives him great power and allows him to fight crime and protect the world as Iron Man.
