One of the most popular superhero teams in comic book history finally comes to the screen in this big-budget adaptation of the long-running
Marvel Comics series. Psychic Professor Xavier (
Patrick Stewart) leads a school of skilled mutants called X-Men, a peacekeeping force to safeguard the world against a race of genetically mutated humans known as Homo Sapiens Superior. However, Magneto (
Ian McKellen), a mutant with a powerful magnetic charge, has also begun to organize a team to strike first against what he believes to be a threat from humanity. When he kidnaps Rogue (
Anna Paquin) from the X-Men's compound, Xavier and his forces must rescue her, even as they continue to vie with Magneto for the fearsomely strong mutant battler Wolverine (
Hugh Jackman). Both Xavier and Magneto also have to contend with Senator Kelly (
Bruce Davison), a heartless political leader who wants a final solution against mutants on both sides. Fighting for the forces of virtue with the X-Men are
Famke Janssen as Jean Grey,
Halle Berry as Storm, and
James Marsden as Cyclops;
Rebecca Romjin-Stamos as Mystique,
Ray Park as the Toad, and
Tyler Mane as Sabretooth are the minions of Magneto.

One of Marvel Comics' greatest superhero teams makes their movie debut. Patrick Stewart stars as Prof. Charles Francis Xavier, the headmaster of a school for mutants, whose heroic mutant team sets to protect a world that fears them from Magneto and his evil Brotherhood of Mutants, who want to destroy all humankind. Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, Anna Paquin, Ian McKellen, Famke Janssen, James Marsden, and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos also star action-packed sci-fi adventure.
