Set in a dystopian future, the story begins with the X-Men facing extermination at the hands of Sentinels, powerful robots designed to hunt and kill mutants. To change this grim fate, the remaining mutants, led by Professor Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Magneto (Michael Fassbender), devise a plan to send Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) back in time to 1973. His mission is to prevent a pivotal event that leads to the rise of the Sentinels.

As Wolverine navigates the past, he must convince a younger version of Professor Xavier and Magneto to work together to stop the event, all while contending with a world filled with prejudice and fear towards mutants. The film features an impressive ensemble cast, including Jennifer Lawrence, Peter Dinklage, and Evan Peters, who portray key characters in both timelines.
