Iron Man 3 is a superhero film of Hollywood. The movie is about Tony Stark whose world is torn apart by a terrible terrorist called the Mandarin. He starts a journey of transformation and retribution.
Tony Stark recalls a New Year's Eve party in 1999 with researcher Maya Hansen, creator of Extremis-an investigational regenerative treatment intended to allow recovery from crippling wounds. Disabled researcher Aldrich Killian offers them a place in his enterprise, Advanced Idea Mechanics, but Stark rejects the offer, embarrassing Killian.
Years later, Stark's experiences during the alien attack of New York are providing him panic attacks. Restless, he has constructed several dozen Iron Man suits. A string of bombings by terrorist the Mandarin has left intelligence agencies confused by a lack of forensic evidence. When Stark Manufacturing security topmost Happy Hogan is seriously injured in one such violence, Stark overcomes his stupor and issues a television threat to the Mandarin, who replies by destroying Stark's home with helicopter gunships.
Stark escapes in an Iron Man outfit, which his artificial intelligence JARVIS guides to rural Tennessee. Stark's experimental armor lacks enough power to return to California, and the world believes him departed.
Teaming with Harley, an intelligent 10-year-old boy, Stark scrutinizes the remains of a local blast bearing the marks of a Mandarin attack. He determines the "bombings" were activated by soldiers subjected to Extremis. The violent part of Extremis is that if the body stops receiving the drug it explodes itself. To hide this damaging effect of the drugs, terrorist attacks are used as a cover.
With Harley's assistance, Stark traces the Mandarin to Miami and penetrates his headquarters using improvised weapons. Inside he learns the Mandarin is a British actor named Trevor Slattery, who claims he is unaware to the actions carried out in his name. The Mandarin is a formation of Killian, who adopted Hansen's Extremis investigation as a cure for his own incapacity and extended the program to include injured war veterans.
Killian captures Stark and murders Hansen when she has a change of heart about the plan.
Stark escapes and reunifies with Rhodes (the former War Machine, now re-branded as the Iron Patriot), learning that Killian expects to attack President Ellis aboard Air Force One. Stark protects some remaining passengers and crew but cannot stop Killian from kidnapping Ellis and abolishing Air Force One.
They trace Killian to a stored damaged oil tanker where Killian means to kill Ellis on live television. The vice president will become a dummy leader.
Rhodes saves the president. Stark discovers Potts has continued the Extremis process. However, before he can protect her, a rig collapses nearby them, and she falls to her death. Stark challenges Killian and tricks him in an Iron-Man suit that self-destructs, but fails to murder him. Killian then discloses he is the real Mandarin. Potts, whose Extremis powers permitted her to survive her fall, interferes and kills Killian.
After the fight, Stark orders JARVIS to abolish each Iron-Man suit as a sign of his dedication to Potts. With Stark's help, Potts' Extremis effects are alleviated, and Stark undergoes surgery to eliminate the shrapnel embedded near his heart. He pitches his outdated chest arc reactor into the sea, thinking that he will always be Iron Man.

Pacific Rim Star Charlie Hunnam's Biography
Born Charles Matthew Hunnam on April 10, 1980 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, Charlie Hunnam is an up-and-coming British actor who is destined to make his mark on Hollywood in the years to come. He was always drawn towards acting, particularly from a young age. Hunnam's parents split up while he was only two years old. While in school, he was bullied a great deal, in part due to his small size. This, coupled with being raised by a single mother, helped give him a steely resolve that would prove valuable later on in his life. When Hunnam was twelve years old, he and his older brother moved to the Lake District in order to be close to his mother, who had remarried.
During his teenage years, Hunnam received his first taste of acting. A production manager for the British children's television show "Byker Grove" discovered him goofing off in a shoe shop, and promptly offered him a part in the show. Hunnam featured in a total of three episodes as a child model named Jason. Although it was only a short-lived role, it did give him some experience that would serve him well once he reached adulthood and began a career for himself. Hunnam would not appear in front of a camera again for some time. In the meantime, he further refined his acting skills at Cumbria College of Art and Design where he graduated with a Performing Arts degree.
After finishing his studies and moving out of the family home, Hunnam found an agent who would help him find roles that he was well suited to. Before long, he was cast in another British-made teenage television series: "Microsoap." This was another short-lived role, but it did lead to his breakthrough role on British television in "Queer as Folk." Cast by director Russell T. Davies as Nathan Maloney, a fifteen-year-old gay schoolboy, Hunnam became somewhat of an icon and role model for gay youth in Britain around the turn of the new century. He made such an impact in the role in only a short space of time that he was asked to attend a parliamentary debate regarding gay issues. In 2000, Hunnam reprised the role for a two-hour television movie, "Queer as Folk 2." The series proved to be so popular that an adaptation was made for American audiences, although Hunnam was not involved with the movie in the States.
He could have entered the US movie world through the "Queer as Folk" series, instead he chose to carve out his own path to the big lights of Hollywood. Hunnam initially landed a role on the very brief teenage drama series "Young Americans." However, the show ended abruptly due to low ratings. From there, he secured a regular acting role on the Fox sitcom "Undeclared," which was an offshoot of Judd Apatow's "Freaks and Geeks." The show was not a huge success, but it did help to raise Hunnam's profile in the United States somewhat. In 2002, he tried out for various film roles, such as in "Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones," but none proved successful. He made his American film debut acting opposite Katie Holmes in "Abandon" later that year.
The following couple of years resulted in roles in "Nicholas Nickleby" and "Cold Mountain." At the time, Hunnam was very selective about the film roles he accepted because he knew that the film choices he made early on in his career would define him as an actor for decades to come. After not appearing on either television or film for a period of close to two years, Hunnam went back to Britain to appear in a football hooliganism film, "Green Street," alongside Elijah Wood. The move was considered a disaster by most film critics, with some even going so far as to say that Hunnam put on the worst Cockney accent in film history. After this bad experience, he moved back to America and stayed there for good.
It took until 2008 for Hunnam to really carve out his niche, this time with the television drama series "Sons of Anarchy." Surprisingly, he was sought out for the role of Jackson "Jax" Teller after the show's creator, Kurt Sutter, saw his performance in "Green Street." Set in a fictional Californian town, the show has proved to be a hit and is still running five years later. Hunnam's performances as Jax have been recognized in the television industry through several nominations for Best Actor in a Drama Series. Since he has been appearing on "Sons of Anarchy," he has tended to stay away from film roles and focus solely on television. However, in 2013 Hunnam was cast as the lead character, Raleigh Becket, in the science fiction blockbuster "Pacific Rim." The hype surrounding this role is sure to give him plenty of acting opportunities for years to come.
