X-Men (United)

This is the start of the second movie of X-Men which were all the mutants unite.

Nightcrawler attempts to assassinate President McKenna, but he is shot and disappears. Jean Grey is confronted by Cyclops after she demonstrates her lack of focus. She confesses to him that she has been having bad feelings about the future.

After some difficulty, Professor Xavier locates Nightcrawler with Cerebro and sends Storm and Jean to retrieve him. They find Nightcrawler in a church and he willingly comes along with them, explaining that the entire time he was in the White House, he had no control over his actions. Cyclops and Professor X visit Magneto in his plastic prison to see if he had any part in the attack on the President. Reading Magneto's thoughts, Professor X discovers that a covert government operative, William Stryker, has been extracting information from Magneto. A trap is sprung and Cyclops and Professor X are captured. A military invasion of the school begins. Siryn wakes everybody up with one of her sonic screams and Colossus and Wolverine round up a number of the students. Wolverine stays behind to confront the attackers.

At a bar Mystique eventually manages to trick one of his security guards and drugs him, and injects something into him. When the guard later arrives at the prison, Magneto extracts the contents of Mystique's injection; Mystique had injected him with liquid iron and Magneto is able to create small balls of metal, which he uses to destroy his prison and escape.

Wolverine and the kids head to Iceman's home in Boston. Iceman decides to tell his parents that he is a mutant. His parents are shocked to learn the truth. During the discussion, Iceman's brother runs upstairs and calls the police. Wolverine meanwhile receives a call from Storm who decides to come and pick them up. Just as the group leaves, the police arrive and draw their weapons on Wolverine. A police officer mistakes Wolverine's claws for knives and shoots him in the head. Pyro becomes enraged and begins using his flame-controlling powers to attack the officers and destroy their cars. Just before his attack turns deadly, Rogue grabs hold of him with her bare hand. Rogue then puts out the fires with the pyrokinesis which she absorbed from him.

During the flight, the X-Jet is targeted by two Air Force fighter jets. After the X-Jet refuses to land, the pilots fire missiles. Storm creates a number of tornadoes in order to lose the aircraft, forcing both pilots to eject. Storm attempts evasive maneuvores, but quickly loses distance. Jean uses her powers and is able to destroy one of the missiles. Unfortunately the other detonates directly behind the jet. In the ensuing depressurization, Rogue is pulled out of her seat and out into a free fall. Nightcrawler teleports outside the jet to grab Rogue, then teleports back in, saving her life. The jet, still en route to a crash landing, is stopped at the last moment by Magneto, who is standing on the ground.Magneto has learned that Stryker orchestrated the attack on the President in order to gain approval to attack the school and has been experimenting on mutants at a secret base. Jean reads Nightcrawler's mind and determines that Stryker's base is located at Alkali Lake. Stryker is able to control mutants with a powerful drug that he has used on Nightcrawler and Magneto. He has also stolen enough equipment from Xavier's own Cerebro unit to build a second Cerebro and plans to use Professor X to kill all of the mutants in the world. The X-Men and Magneto join together to stop Stryker. Stryker gains control over Professor Xavier through his son, Jason Stryker who is able to project powerful visions in the mind, blinding a person to reality. Jason (in the form of a young girl) instructs Professor X to use Cerebro to find all existing mutants and kill them. Stryker orders his guards to let "Wolverine" in, before realising it is not him. Mystique incapacitates the soldiers and manages to take control of the control room, opening up the main gates so that the X-Men can enter the Alkali Lake Facility. Jean Grey joins Magneto and Mystique in order to keep an eye on them as they attempt to bring Professor Xavier back to his senses and rescue him. On their way, they are attacked by a brainwashed Cyclops. Jean stands her ground against Cyclops, withstanding his optic blast at an extremely high level, and both are propelled backwards, causing damage to the generators that keep the dam from collapsing.He finds him in an adamantium smelting room along with Lady Deathstrike. After Stryker leaves, Wolverine attempts to follow him but is attacked by Deathstrike. A battle of blades ensues, which results in Wolverine pumping Deathstrike full of molten adamantium metal, killing her. Wolverine finds Stryker on a landing pad and stabs him in the stomach. Magneto breaks into the new Cerebro and Mystique, disguised as Stryker, convinces Jason to kill all humans. Magneto and Mystique escape on the helicopter, alongside with Pyro who has decided to join them. Meanwhile, Nightcrawler teleports Storm inside of Dark Cerebro, from where she whips up a snow storm which freezes Jason and frees the Professor from his telepathic illusion. The destruction of the dam is inevitable. As the team prepare to leave, Wolverine revisits Stryker and gets rid of his mutant tag. A malfunction aboard the X-Jet prevents it from taking off and the dam finally bursts. The flood gets stronger, drowning Stryker. Jean Grey leaves the Blackbird and manages to fully tap into her to create a telekinetic wall in order to stop the wave, whilst she raises the jet up and over the flood waters; all the while surrounded by a corona of fire. Nightcrawler attempts to grab her but she blocks his teleportation powers, instead choosing to stay. With her last amount of strength, Jean activates the X-Jet's primary engines, before lowering her telekinetic shield and allowing herself to be consumed by the flood waters.

Back at the White House, the President prepares to address the country on the perceived mutant threat. Just as he begins his speech, the lights flicker, and the sky darkens and it begins to rain and everyone in the room freezes except for himself. The X-Men appear before him. Rogue gives him the files from Stryker's private offices while Professor X tells him about the events of the last few days, saying that in the files some humans and mutants. Then Professor X gives him an ultimatum: either humans and mutants work together to build peace, or they will destroy each other through war. The mutants leave in the same manner they entered. As everyone else in the room returns to motion, the shocked President looks at the files and is uncertain whether to continue his speech. The film ends with a voiceover by Jean Grey, identical to the voice-over at the start of the initial film, on the process of evolution. The camera floats over Alkali Lake, showing a vague but ominous shape in the water surface, the shape of a burning bird, the Phoenix.

And that is the end of the second part of X-Men (United).
