Iron Man (2008)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Jon Favreau
Starring: Jeff Bridges, Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Terrence Howard, Leslie Bibb
Obadiah (Jeff Bridges) takes Tony's (Robert Downey Jr.) second version of the artificial heart used to power the suit (and that's used to keep himself alive) and uses it to power another suit that was recently built at Stark Industries. Tony battles Obadiah in his suit using the first version of the artificial heart. Tony asks Pepper (Gwyneth Paltrow) to overload Stark Industries' arc reactor and Obadiah's suit malfunctions and falls into the reactor. The next day, at a press conference, instead of covering up the truth by saying that someone in an armored suit is his "bodyguard" (nicknamed by the press "Iron Man"), Tony reveals that he is Iron Man. A few minutes into the end credits, Tony arrives home and notices that someone's sneaked inside his home. He asks the mysterious person who he is and it's Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) who is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. (the organization that wanted to talk with Tony Stark, throughout the movie, about how he escaped captivity in the mountains and the ones who helped cover up the arc reactor explosion). Fury says to Tony that now that he's revealed to the world that he's Iron Man.. he's stepped into another world he didn't know existed. Fury tells Tony that he wants to talk with him about a project called The Avengers Initiative...

Tony Stark: Yeah, Hogan, drive. Cheeseburger first.
More trivia for Iron Man
Question: How come Tony doesn't die when Pepper hits the button that blows up the roof? He never cleared the roof as intended and it must have been really powerful if it killed Obediah. Tony's chest piece flickers on and off and then the scene fades. They never give an explanation for this.

Answer: Tony, even wearing the Iron Man armour, is light enough that the shockwave of the blast throws him out of the way, so he escapes the majority of the explosion's effects. Stane, in his much heavier suit, isn't so lucky and so gets the full impact, which kills him. The flickering of the chest piece is merely a device to show that Tony is still in one piece, even if injured.
