IRON MAN
In 'Iron Man', Robert Downey Jr. plays the billionaire alcoholic weapons inventor Tony Stark - a smug playboy who receives the wake-up call of his life when he is shot down in enemy territory in Afghanistan by one of his company's own weapons. Stark is a new man when he returns to America and is determined to stop making weapons. He also starts to see more in his loyal assistant Pepper (Gwyneth Paltrow) than just an in-house coffee maker. When Stark's green-eyed business partner, Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges), unsurprisingly disagrees with Stark's no-new-weapons policy, the hero takes things into his own hands by creating a metal suit, equipped with boosters, so he can fly back to Afghanistan where he'll be able to blow up the weapons and the men that made them.

STREET KINGS
As much as he likes to try, Keanu Reeves isn't able to play a wide variety of roles. The one thing Reeves does seem to be able to play though, is a cop. He rocked 'Point Break' with his cocky, slick Johnny Utah and forced audiences to put all their trust in him as Jack Travern floored an out-of-control bus in the smash-hit 'Speed'. Reeves re-inherits the badge for 'Street Kings', only this time he's less of a superhero and more of a normal guy.
