A straightforward superhero action film about a soldier-turned-vigilante fighting to stop dangerous weapons from reaching criminals, driven by spectacle and gear rather than depth.

When a renegade military reject puts new superweapons in dangerous hands, John Henry Irons becomes Steel. Wearing body armor, wielding a fearsome electrohammer and riding a gadget-packed motorcycle, he's ready to wage war... if he can fix the untimely glitches in his untested gear.
