Based on Marvel’s hugely popular comic book series, X-Men is the first in a trilogy of movies. Set in the not too distant future, rare genetic mutations give certain individuals, called mutants, fantastic powers. Shunned by the rest of society because of their differences, they are split into two factions: those who seek to live in harmony with humans and those who wish to dominate them. As tensions mount, the groups find themselves battling each other and the intolerant government which seeks to destroy them. Directed by Brian Singer, the film features the characters of Charles Xavier, Magneto, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Wolverine, Rogue, Storm and Sabertooth....

Quotes:
[first lines]
Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: [narration] Mutation: it is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward.
