The time has come for those who are different to stand united
Get ready for the return of the Evolution
Evolution Continues.
The ones we fear most, will be all that can save us... again.
In this world wide conspiracy the only thing you can count on... Is the X factor.
First, they were fighting for acceptance. Now, they're battling for survival.
X-Men United
A powerful teleporting mutant, Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming) tries to assassinate the President in the White House Oval Office, then vanishes at the last moment. This stirs up anti-mutant feelings among the people, supporting the Mutant Registration Act that eliminates peaceful coexistence.
Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) visits snowy Alkali Lake, hoping to learn about his origins, but finds nothing there except abandoned and decayed buildings near the dam.
The students from Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters are visiting a museum. Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) expresses fear of not controlling her powers to Cyclops (James Marsden). In the meantime, students Rogue (Anna Paquin), her boyfriend "Iceman" Bobby (Shawn Ashmore) and troubled Pyro (Aaron Stanford) get into a disagreement with some bullies in the museum. Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) has to halt the conflict by freezing everyone in time, except the mutants.
A retired military scientist, Colonel William Stryker (Brian Cox) who hates and wants to destroy the entire mutant race, visits the president. He gets approval for an attack on the school, which he has discovered by interrogating the imprisoned Magneto (Ian McKellen). Mystique, in the guise of the late Senator Kelly (Bruce Davison) tries to object, but fails. Later, Stryker visits Magneto in his plastic prison to question him again, using a chemical placed on the back of his neck.
Wolverine returns to the school to get more answers about his past. Professor Xavier shows him the powerful Cerebro system which can connect him to everyone on the planet. Wolverine wants the Professor to read his mind again, but Xavier explains that he can't tell Wolverine everything, that he will have to find out some things for himself.
Mystique (Rebecca Romijn) disguises herself and breaks into Stryker's computers to learn more about his plans.
Jean Grey and Storm (Halle Berry) find the fast-moving mutant assassin, Nightcrawler. It becomes evident that he was mind-controlled.
Cyclops and Professor Xavier go to visit Magneto in the peculiar plastic prison they have created to nullify Magneto's powers. Magneto explains that Stryker has been questioning him, and points out that his son Jason Stryker (Michael Reid MacKay) was once a student at the school. To Professor Xavier's horror, Magneto confesses that he has told Stryker everything. At that moment, gas enters the prison chamber and both men pass out. Outside, Cyclops fights the prison guard but is defeated by Stryker's powerful assistant, Deathstrike (Kelly Hu).
A handful of people are awake before the treacherous raid on the School for Gifted Youngsters. Wolverine and many of the students use their abilities to defend themselves. Some of the mutants escape, but several children are captured and taken away. Stryker turns up in person and mentions Wolverine's past, but to his frustration, Bobby erects an icewall to allow their escape. The professor and his henchmen break into Cerebro to strip it for parts. Wolverine, Rogue, Bobby and Pyro escape in a car and head to Boston to meet Storm and Jean Grey. Bobby is from Boston, so the group stops at his house until they can contact Storm and Jean Grey.
Mystique accosts Magneto's guard (Ty Olsson) in a bar and drugs him, then gives him an injection.
Professor Xavier awakes with Stryker and his assistant Deathstrike. Stryker explains that the metal brace on Xavier's head prevents him from using his psychic power. They argue about mutants and Stryker's son, a powerful mutant illusionist who did not stay at Xavier's school. At one point Deathstrike seems to look around her in a daze, and Stryker gives her another dose of chemical on the back of her neck. Xavier realizes that Stryker caused the assassination attempt in order to manipulate the president. Stryker admits his chemical would not be strong enough to work on the Professor, so he brings in his mutant son Jason to influence Professor Xavier's mind.
Magneto's guard brings his meal. Magneto notices "something different" about him - it seems Mystique put iron into his blood, which Magneto pulls out with his powers. He uses the small balls of iron to escape his prison.
Bobby's family is surprised to learn that he's a mutant, so they ask him if he can stop being one. Bobby's disgruntled younger brother calls the police, and Pyro refuses to back down from the dangerous confrontation until Rogue drains his powers. Storm, Jean and Nightcrawler pick them up and they head for the school. Shot at by American planes, Jean is able to stop all but one of the missiles. They take damage and are about to crash when Magneto repairs the hole in their ship and stops them just above the ground.
Magneto explains that Stryker invaded the school just to get to Cerebro. With it, he can make Professor Xavier focus on any group of people, such as mutants, and kill them. Magneto also reveals that Stryker is one of the only people who can manipulate adamantium, the metal on Wolverine's bones. Mystique has the plans for Stryker's base, but they need Jean to read Nightcrawler's mind to get the location: Alkali Lake. Wolverine didn't find it because it's underground. Mystique torments Wolverine by entering his tent disguised as Jean Grey. When they fly to the base the next day, Magneto taunts Rogue about the white streaks in her hair. He then complements Pyro's abilities.
A soldier asks Stryker why they are keeping the mutant children. He explains that he wants to be sure mutants are really dying when Cerebro operates.
Wolverine volunteers to enter the lab first, since Stryker will want him alive. Magneto disagrees. When Wolverine appears at the door, Stryker instructs the soldiers to admit him, but as soon as he sees him in person he knows it's not Wolverine. Mystique (Rebecca Romijn) manages to get into the laboratory's heavily fortified control room.
Professor Xavier is in an elaborate illusion created by Jason, who accompanies him in the guise of a little girl (Keely Purvis). The two enter the Cerebro room, although in reality it's a grungy dome that Stryker has fabricated.
The rescue group splits up to find the children and the professor. Stryker goes to the dome and orders Jason to make the Professor kill all mutants he finds through Cerebro.
A mind-controlled Cyclops tries to stop Jean Grey, Magneto and Mystique. Jean stays to get through to him while the others go on. The two duel among the dam's large machines, breaking the structural integrity of the dam and starting some leaks. Cyclops finally remembers himself.
Wolverine has gone on his own to search the laboratory for its secrets. He finds the room where the adamantium was applied to his bones, sees xrays on the walls, finds the liquid metal, sees flashbacks of the torture as they ducked him under water again and again, remembers escaping. Stryker finds him there. When Wolverine goes to attack Stryker, Deathstrike attacks him in a duel to the death. Her 10 long fingernails are tearing him up when he finally gets the adamantium nozzle and fills her body with it, killing her.
Pyro leaves the plane, tired of waiting with Rogue and Bobby.
Magneto gets to the Cerebro room and dons his helmet just as the attack on mutants begins - the others fall to the floor screaming with pain in their heads. He stops the attack, then reconfigures the dome as metal panels fly around to different places. Mystique enters in the guise of Stryker, and tells Jason to have Xavier kill all of the humans instead of the mutants.
Stryker leaves the complex, but Wolverine finds him by the helicopter. Wolverine demands answers, but Stryker frustrates him. He tells him that Wolverine volunteered for the procedure and that the two of them worked together. He says Wolverine is a failed experiment, that he was an animal before and an animal now. Wolverine chains him to the helicopter and goes back for the others.
The rescue group has reached the Cerebro room. Nightcrawler teleports Storm and himself inside. In order to get Jason to stop the illusion, Storm makes it cold in the room. Jason finally gives in, revealing Professor Xavier. As the ceiling panels start to collapse, Nightcrawler rescues Storm and then the Professor. The group runs away and finally finds the way outside.
In the meantime, Magneto and Mystique have found Stryker and commandeered his helicopter. Pyro has voluntarily joined them. However, Rogue flies the school plan over to the helicopter pad. As everyone struggles aboard, Wolverine notices Stryker chained to the dam - clearly the work of Magneto. Wolverine decides to take his chances with his fellow mutants.
The team discovers the plane is not fully functional and can't lift off, but the dam is bursting. Jean Grey leaves the plane, and prevents everyone from getting her back aboard. She holds off the floodwaters while lifting the plane. She saves the group, and then is overwhelmed.
At the White House, the President's televised speech is interrupted ... everyone in the room freezes except the President ... and the mutants. Professor Xavier presents him with information taken from Stryker's lab. The mutant message is simple: "We're here to stay."
