Returning X-Men favorites Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), Storm (Halle Berry), Rogue (Anna Paquin), Iceman (Shawn Ashmore) and Professor X (Patrick Stewart) are joined by a host of new faces, including Beast (Kelsey Grammer), Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page) and Angel (Ben Foster) to do battle against their power-hungry counterparts led by Magneto (Sir Ian McKellen), Mystique (Rebecca Romijn), Pyro (Aaron Stanford) and Juggernaut (Vinnie Jones).

Synopsis:
In X-Men: The Last Stand, a pharmaceutical "cure" for mutancy threatens to alter the course of history and the stability of the mutant community. For the first time, mutants have a choice: retain their superhuman abilities, though it isolates and alienates them, or give up their unique powers to fit in as "normal." The opposing viewpoints of peaceful mutant leader Charles Xavier and his militant counterpart Magneto, who believes in the survival of the fittest, are put to the ultimate test -- triggering the war to end all wars!
