When a private
laboratory supported by the government finds the cure for the mutants, using the
DNA of a powerful boy, the mutants have the option to retain their superhuman
abilities or give up their unique gifts and become normal, but seeing this as a
threat to their way of life, Magneto (Ian McKellen) opposes and decides to form
an army of mutants and march on the fortified Worthington Laboratory located on
Alcatraz Island to fight against the government and kill the mutant boy.
Meanwhile, a much more dire threat appears in the form of the resurrected
super-mutant Jean Grey (Famke Janssen), who has succumbed to her cataclysmic
identity known as The Phoenix. To face these menaces Wolverine (Hugh Jackman)
and Storm (Halle Berry) and the younger members of the X-Men leap into action,
and the battle lines are drawn for the war to end all wars.
