Based on Stan Lee's classic Marvel comic book series, X-MEN introduces us to the children born in a time when race and religion don't separate people, but extra super-powers and mutated characteristics do. Born into a world filled with prejudice, they possess extraordinary and dangerous powers - the result of unique genetic mutations. Under the tutelage of Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart, Star Trek), the world's most powerful telepath, the mutants have learned to control and direct their special powers for the greater good of mankind. Danger beckons when Xavier welcomes two newcomers: Wolverine (Hugh Jackman, Swordfish) a solitary fighting machine who possesses amazing healing powers, and Rogue (Anna Paquin, The Piano, Almost Famous), an alienated teenage girl who can absorb the life force of anyone she touches. Openly opposed to non-mutant society is Xavier's former partner, Erik Lehnsherr, 'The Master of Magnetism' known as Magneto (Ian McKellen, Lord of the Rings). Backed by his brotherhood of evil mutants, Toad (Ray Park, Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace), Sabretooth (ex-WCW wrestler Tyler Mane) and the blue-skinned shape-shifter Mystique (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, Femme Fatale). Magneto believes humans and mutants can never co-exist and unveils his sinister plot for the future. Directed

Bryan Singer (The Usual Suspects), X-MEN explores the collision between mutant minority and human majority, the result of which is a sleek, fast-moving sci-fi adventure that offers the ultimate in stand-out futuristic action.
