X-Men: First Class
Witness the moment that will change our world.
Directed by Matthew Vaughn
Produced by The Donners' Company, Bad Hat Harry Productions
A high-energy origin story that balances the warmth of a found-family friendship with Cold War tension and superhero spectacle.
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. Before they were arch-enemies, they were closest of friends, working together with other mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known.
