As
CEO of Stark Industries, the U.S. Government’s top weapons contractor,
billionaire industrialist and genius inventor Tony Stark has achieved
celebrity status by protecting American interests around the globe for
decades. Tony’s carefree lifestyle is forever changed when his convoy is
attacked following a weapons test he oversees and he is held hostage by a
group of insurgents. Injured by life-threatening shrapnel embedded near
his already weakened heart, Tony is ordered to build a devastating weapon
for Raza, the mysterious leader of the insurgents. Ignoring his captors’
requests, Tony uses his intellect and ingenuity to build a suit of armor
that keeps him alive and enables him to escape captivity. Upon his return
to America, Tony must come to terms with his past and vows to take Stark
Industries in a new direction. Despite the resistance from Obadiah Stane,
his right-hand man and top executive, who has taken over the reigns of the
company in his absence, Tony spends his days and nights in his workshop
developing and refining an advanced suit of armor that gives him
superhuman strength and physical protection. With the help of his longtime
assistant Pepper Potts and his trusted military liaison Rhodey, Tony
uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications. Donning his powerful
new red and gold armor, Tony vows to protect the world and right its
injustices as his new alter-ego, Iron Man.

HAROLD AND KUMAR ESCAPE FROM GUANTANAMO BAY
|
|
Harold and Kumar are in
their apartment after they’ve successfully completed their White Castle
quest. It’s only an hour or two later, and the guys are preparing for an
epic adventure to Amsterdam so that Harold can win the heart of his crush,
Maria. At the airport, Kumar runs into his ex-girlfriend, Vanessa, and
he’s shocked to discover she’s about to get married. Before they even
get on the plane, Kumar threatens to botch the mission by mixing it up
with airport security personnel, insisting on protesting a random search.
Though they do make it onto the plane, Kumar eventually succeeds in
getting them into more trouble than they bargained for. Unable to wait six
hours to get to Amsterdam, Kumar takes a home-made “smokeless bong”
into the airplane bathroom. Turbulence strikes, the bathroom door swings
open, the bong’s mistaken for a bomb, and the guys are mistaken for
terrorists. The plane is turned around and the guys are detained in
Guantanamo Bay.
