Let’s face it; it’s going to be a quiet Easter holiday weekend for almost everyone. The world has come to a standstill at the moment and we’re all confined to our homes during the COVID 19 lockdown, so there’s no better time to sit back, relax and watch a few movies. As an engineering company we thought we would share some of our favourite ‘engineering-themed’ movies to watch over the Easter holidays. Enjoy!

Coming in at number one is the unforgettable, charismatic Mr Tony Stark. After being kidnapped by a powerful terrorist organization, Stark narrowly escapes using an iron suit he crafted from scrap metal and spare parts. Upon returning home, he devotes all of his time and resources to perfecting the iron man suit, and using it to fight evil, sometimes in the place where he least expects it.
