Story

The different chapters correspond to the Blu-ray/DVD chapters.

Chapter 1: Start

Afghanistan, Kunar province

• A military convoy of five Humvees travel through the province. Inside one of them is Tony Stark, enjoying a whisky on the rocks, with two airmen and a female Senior Airman. Stark tries and manages to lighten the mood as nobody was speaking in the car.
• When eventually Airman Pratt takes a picture of Stark with Airman Jimmy, the Humvee in front of them explodes. Senior Airman Ramirez is shot the very moment she gets out of the car. Pratt orders Jimmy to protect Stark, but is also shot the moment he gets out of the Humvee. Then Jimmy orders Start to stay in the car, but when he gets out as well, he is shot by several bullets.
• Surrounded by the deafening noise and gunshots, Stark exites the Humvee and tries to find a shelter. Yet, as he attempts to make a phone call, a Stark Industries-tagged bomb falls at his feets. He barely avoids the explosion but is propelled by the blast. Despite his bulletproof vest, Stark is badly wounded on the chest.
• Later, he finds himself hooded, then filmed surrounded by mercenaries of the Ten Rings organization.

Chapter 2: Las Vegas

Las Vegas, 36 hours earlier

Post credits scene

• After the press conference, Tony Stark returns home and is welcomed by Jarvis. A man in the shadow is here. Suddenly the man tells Stark that he is not the only superhero in the world and that he has become part of a bigger universe. After introducing himself as Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he expresses the desire to talk to Stark about the Avengers Initiative.

Notes

• The song played on the sound machine in the Humvee at the beginning of the film is "Back In Black" by AC/DC.
