About the movie
X-Men: First Class charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of mutants and the formation of the two rival groups among them. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not arch enemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop 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.
