X2: X-Men United

ActionAdventureSci-FiThriller134 min

After a mutant attacks the White House, fear spikes and Colonel William Stryker turns that panic into an all-out assault on Professor Xavier’s school. The X-Men are scattered, students are on the run, and Wolverine is forced to confront links between Stryker and his own buried past. As Stryker moves to seize Cerebro and use Xavier’s powers to target mutants everywhere, old enemies become necessary allies. Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman are folded into a story of escape, uneasy truces, and a race to stop a plan aimed at wiping out an entire population before it can be carried out.
