Paramount Home Entertainment have announced the Region 1 DVD release of Iron Man on 30th September 2008. Jon Favreau directs this comic-book adaptation that stars Robert Downey Jr. as jet-setting genius-industrialist weapons designer Tony Stark. Captured in enemy territory whilst showing off his latest tools of destruction, Stark builds a high-tech suit of armour to escape and soon finds himself on a mission to save the world as a hero who’s built, not born, to be unlike any other. The film co-stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Terrence Howard and Jeff Bridges.
