The X-Men

Starring Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen
Directed by Bryan Singer

Based on the classic Marvel Comics series, the X-Men are outcasts from society, born with a unique genetic mutation that gives them superhuman powers. While the X-Men work to harness their special abilities for the greater good, they know that most humans reject and fear their powers. Battling against prejudice and agents of intolerance, the X-Men will either establish a peaceful co-existence between mutants and mankind, or perish.

Now the X-Men come across a dangerously wild mutant named Wolverine (Jackman), a creature whose bones have been fused with steel, making him almost invulnerable. Elsewhere, Magneto (McKellan), a powerful mutant who can control the magnetic and gravitational forces of the earth, plans to destroy the human race because of the contempt they have shown his kind. Can he and his followers be stopped in time?

“For diehard fans, X-Men
is full of in jokes and sly references – For everybody else, there's the thrill of the unknown.” – Jeff Giles, Newsweek
