X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

SYNOPSIS: X-MEN: FIRST CLASS charts the epic beginning of the X-Men

saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before

mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles

Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they

were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not

archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends,

working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to

prevent nuclear Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them

opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and

Professor X's X-Men.

The film stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Rose Byrne, January

Jones, Oliver Platt, and Kevin Bacon. Matthew Vaughn ("Kick-Ass")

directs, and the producers are Lauren Shuler Donner, Simon Kinberg and

Bryan Singer. Singer, who helmed the acclaimed blockbusters "X-Men"

and "X2," wrote the story for X-MEN: FIRST CLASS.
