X-Men: First Class

Action/adventure/drama – Rated PG-13

X-Men First Class charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other mutants to prevent nuclear Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Marneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.

• Directed by: Matthew Vaughn

• Cast: James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Rose Byrne, January Jones, Oliver Platt, Kevin Bacon.

• This film is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence, some sexual content, including brief partial nudity, and language.
