Hello friends, I'm here with another interesting movie titled X-Men: First Class and I would like to share with you.

The movie is about during the 1960s, Charles and Erik, young mutants, begin assembling a group of mutants to save humanity. As they grow closer, they learn that their ideologies will force them to take separate paths.

It begins In 1944, at the Auschwitz concentration camp, Nazi officer Klaus Schmidt witnesses young prisoner Erik Lehnsherr bend a metal gate with his mind upon being separated from his mother.

In his office, Schmidt orders Erik to move a coin on his desk and kills his mother when Erik can't. In grief and anger, Erik's magnetic power manifests, killing two guards and destroying the room.

Separately, at a mansion in Westchester County, New York, child telepath Charles Xavier meets the young shape-shifter Raven, whose natural form is blue-skinned and scaly.

Overjoyed to meet someone “different”, like himself, he invites her to live with his family as his foster sister.

In 1962, Erik is tracking down Schmidt to avenge his mother, while Xavier earns his doctorate from the University of Oxford as Professor of Genetics.

In Las Vegas, CIA officer Moria MacTaggert follows U.S. Army Colonel Hendry into the Hellfire Club, where she sees Schmidt with mutant telepath Emma Frost, cyclone-producing Riptide and teleporter Azazel.

Threatened by Shaw and teleported to the joint War Room, Hendry advocates deploying nuclear missiles in Turkey.

Shaw, an energy-absorbing mutant whose powers have kept him young, later kills Hendry.

Moira, seeking Xavier's advice on mutation, takes him and Raven to the CIA, where they convince Director McCone that mutants exist and Shaw is a threat.

Another CIA officer sponsors the mutants and invites them to the secret “Division X” facility.

Moira and Xavier find Shaw as Erik is attacking him, and Xavier rescues Erik from drowning. Shaw escapes.

Xavier brings Erik to Division X, where they meet young scientist Hank McCoy, a mutant with prehensile feet who believes Raven's DNA may provide a “cure” for their appearance.

Xavier uses McCoy's mutant-locating device Cerebro to seek recruits against Shaw.

Meanwhile, Xavier and Erik recruit stripper Angel Salvadore, cabbie Armando Muñoz, Army prisoner Alex Summers and drifter Sean Cassidy. They create nicknames, Raven dubbing herself “Mystique”.

When Frost meets with a Soviet general in the USSR and uses her telepathic powers to manipulate him, Xavier and Erik capture her and discover Shaw intends to start World War lll triggering mutant ascendancy.

Azazel, Riptide and Shaw attack Division X, killing everyone but the mutants, whom Shaw invites joining him.

Salvadore accepts; when Alex and Muñoz retaliate, Shaw kills Muñoz. In Moscow, Shaw compels the general to have the USSR install missiles in Cuba.

Wearing a helmet that blocks telepathy, Shaw follows the Soviet fleet in a submarine to ensure the missiles break a U.S. blockade.

Simultaneously, Xavier takes the remaining recruits back to his mansion, where they focus on harnessing their abilities.

McCoy manages to get a cure ready, but Raven, after being persuaded by Erik, decides she would rather not hide her identity and refuses the cure. McCoy uses the cure on himself, but it backfires, giving him blue fur and leonine aspects.

Find out what happened next as McCoy uses the cure on himself but backfires, giving him blue fur and leonine aspects as the movie gets interesting.
