Set in the ‘not too distant future’ in a world where mutants exist (mostly in secret) and the majority of the human population demands that they be registered so their unusual powers can become known and controlled. The X-Men use their powers to fight mutants like Magneto who believe that a war between mutants and humanity is an unavoidable outcome of rising tensions.

X-Men's Plot and Characters

The film opens with a concentration camp and a child being ripped away from his parents. In his horror he reaches out for them and somehow manages to rip a metal gate apart through some unknown means. The child survives the holocaust and grows up to become Magneto (Ian McKellen). He believes that the signing of the new ‘Mutant Registration Act’ being pushed through by anti-mutant politician Senator Kelly (Bruce Davison) will ultimately lead to concentration camps and detention facilities something that he will not allow to happen. Magneto’s former ally and lifelong friend Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) has faith in humanity and believes that mutual trust is the only way forward.
