Film Analysis : Iron Man

Ordinary World: Well the character that becomes Iron Man, is used to the world revolving around him, and is kind of in a shell created by his own ignorance. He doesn't seem to understand normal everyday struggles.
The Call: The call is when he is captured by terrorists, and he has to make/create weaponry for them, and when he realizes that he needs to change the way his company is run.
The Refusal:
Meet The Mentor: The doctor who saves his life in the beginning shows him a lot of things. Including, the fact that there is no reason to live through trials if there is no one or nothing to live for.
Crossing the Threshold:
Enemies, Tests, Allies: Enemies would be Obadiah, his business partner, the terrorists. Tests were like him trying to make the suit better, or making the "missiles" for the terrorists, or finding the flaw with the ice. One of his main allies was his secretary, then there was the doctor guy, the military guy.
The Approach: One of his set-backs was hurting his secretaries feelings, then discovering flaws in his suit.
The Ordeal: When he is first gets attacked in the beginning, then when he and Obadiah are battling, and you think he is about to die, because Obadiah has a suit too.
The Reward: He gets his secretary, and the label "iron man".
The Road Back: He has to have a press conference, to dodge some rumors.
Resurrection:
Return with Elixir He learns the value of integrity, and being a good person, appreciates the people around him, and values lives he doesn't know.
