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.
