  X-Men came out July 14, 2000. It made 54 million it first weekend!

  In the 20th century a new race of humans, Homo superior began to evolve. One of these superior humans is a young boy called Eric
  Lehnsherr. His powers first appeared when he is separated from his mother in the concentration camp during World War II. Over fifty
  years later, a young girl discovers her mutant powers when she had her first kiss. As their lips touched, she absorbed all of his thoughts
  and memories, putting the boy in a coma. Scared, the girl ran away. In the meantime, humanity has become more and more aware of this
  new kind of human among them and is concerned. Tensions are rising, as people and politicians start to call for the registration of these
  mutants.

  Having experienced torture from the Nazis, Magneto is determined that mutants will not become
  the next victims of human maltreatment. The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants kidnaps Senator Kelly and
  brings back to their hidden lair. Officials from around the world will soon attend a summit
  meeting in New York City. Magneto plans to transform them into mutants, forcing them to help
  the mutant cause.

  Wolverine and the runaway girl Rogue, come to the attention of the X-Men and the
  Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. The X-Men rescue them from Sabretooth and bring to Xavier's
  school for gifted youngsters. But Rogue runs away from the school, and Wolverine follows her
  to a train station. Here Magneto and his Brotherhood attack and succeed in kidnapping Rogue.

  Transformed into a mutant by Magneto's machine, Senator Kelly discovers that his body has
  become soft and flexible. He escapes from his prison cell in Magneto's lair by squeezing through
  the bars of his window. As Magneto wanted, Kelly now has a new sympathy toward mutants. But
  after X-Men take the Senator in, the artificial mutation backfires and Senator Kelly completely
  dissolves in Storm's hands.

  Senator Kelly died because his body rejected the artificial mutation caused by Magneto's machine.
  Having learned about Magneto's machine from Kelly, the X-Men now know that it will kill all of
  the humans that Magneto tries to mutate. The X-Men now realize why Magneto kidnapped
  Rogue. Powering the machine enough to transform everyone at the summit would kill Magneto.
  So Magneto uses Rogue's absorbing power to temporarily transfer his magnetic powers to her.
  Then he will force her to power his machine, killing her in the process (This is why Rogue now
  has a streak of white in her hair).

  The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants in the first movie are: Magneto/Eric, Toad, Sabretooth and Mystique.

  The X-Men in the first movie are: Jean, Cyclops/Scott, Storm/Ororo and Wolverine/Logan.
