When a failed assassination attempt occurs on the
President's (
Cotter Smith) life by the teleporting mutant
Nightcrawler (
Alan Cumming), it's
Professor Xavier (
Patrick Stewart) and his School for Gifted Youngsters who are targeted for the crime. While
Jean Grey (
Famke Janssen) and
Storm (
Halle Berry) try and locate the assassin,
Cyclops (
James Marsden) and
Xavier (also known as 'Professor X') seek answers from their old foe
Magneto (
Ian McKellan) in his glass cell...Little do they know they're walking into a trap set by the villainous
William Stryker (
Brian Cox), a mysterious governmental figure that figures into
Wolverine's (
Hugh Jackman) secretive past, along with information about the X-Men's operation, supplied by
Magneto through a mind-controlling agent. Meanwhile
Wolverine, just home from a failed mission to regain his memory, is in charge of the students when a crack-commando team led by
Stryker infiltrates the school by order of the
President. With a mansion full of young, powerful mutants and the ferocious
Wolverine in babysitter mode, can he defend the school against the one man who can answer his questions? What roles do the sinister
Mystique (
Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) and
Lady Deathstrike (
Kelly Hu) have in all of this? Why does
Stryker want
Professor X and his Cerebro machine? With the war between humanity and mutants escalating to extremes, can the rest of the X-Men trust their old foes to help them? Director
Bryan Singer returns and raises the stakes in this sequel to the highly lauded 2000 adaptation of
Marvel Comics'
X-Men.
