X-Men: Days Of Future Past Trailer
X-Men: Days Of Future Past Synopsis
In the dystopian future of 2023, sentient robots known as Sentinels are exterminating mutants and oppressing humans, since humans harbor the genes that lead to mutant offspring. A small band of mutant survivors manage to evade the Sentinels thanks to the powers of Kitty Pryde, who has the ability to project a person's consciousness back in time to deliver warnings.
Kitty's group rendezvous with Magneto and Professor Charles Xavier in a monastery in China. They hatch a plan to send Wolverine's consciousness back in time to prevent Mystique from murdering Bolivar Trask, the lead designer of the Sentinels. Trask's assassination will make him a martyr, Mystique will be captured and her mutant powers will be reverse-engineered and used to create the formidable Sentinels of the future. A caveat of the plan is that they will have to stand and defend Wolverine and Kitty until Wolverine finishes his trip to the past and returns, otherwise the changes he made to the timeline will be reset.
Wolverine wakes up in 1973 in his younger body. He travels to the X-Mansion, where he encounters the young Hank McCoy and a disheveled Xavier. His school has failed and most of his original X-Men are dead, and this has left him a broken man. He has also lost his telepathic powers through taking serum which allows him to walk again. Wolverine convinces Xavier to free Magneto — who was accused of murdering John F. Kennedy (a charge he denies, stating that Kennedy was himself a mutant) — from a prison cell beneath the Pentagon. They do this with the help of Peter Maximoff, a mutant who can move blindingly fast.
Trask unsuccessfully lobbies to Congress for approval for his Sentinel program. Meanwhile, in Saigon, Mystique prevents a young William Stryker from appropriating a group of mutant American GIs for Trask's research. Mystique investigates Trask Industries and discovers he has been capturing and experimenting on mutants, including some of her old comrades. Knowing that the assassination of Trask occurs in Paris, Xavier and Magneto board a private plane with Beast and Wolverine in order to intercept Mystique, although the two argue over abandoning each other.
In Paris, the Americans and Vietnamese are negotiating the end to the Vietnam War. Mystique impersonates a Vietnamese general to infiltrate a meeting with Trask. As she is about to kill Trask, Wolverine, Xavier, Magneto and Hank arrive. As he believes that it is the only way to prevent the dark future, Magneto tries to kill Mystique, who flees out a window. The ensuing altercations exposes the mutants in front of onlookers and television cameras. Wolverine's upsetting encounter with Stryker causes his future body to react violently, injuring Kitty Pryde greatly.
Although Trask is saved, the world is horrified by the existence of mutants. President Richard Nixon approves Trask's Sentinel program and arranges an unveiling in Washington, D.C. Trask's scientists recover Mystique's blood from the battle site in Paris, and Magneto fears Trask could still create the future Sentinels. Magneto intercepts the Sentinel prototypes on their way to Washington and laces them with steel. At the mansion, Xavier eschews his regular serum dose to regain his powers. Through Wolverine, Xavier communes with his future self and is inspired to struggle for human-mutant peace once again. He uses Cerebro to track Mystique en route to Washington.
Nixon unveils the Sentinel prototypes on the White House lawn. As a show of force, Magneto raises RFK Stadium and deposits it around the White House. He also commandeers the Sentinels and has them attack the crowd. Nixon and Trask are taken to a safe room, followed by a disguised Mystique. Xavier, Wolverine, and Beast try to stop Magneto. Magneto impales Wolverine with rebar and flings him into the Potomac River. In 2023, the X-Men make their final stand to protect the time-displaced Wolverine as the Sentinels assault the monastery, resulting in great casualty.
Pulling the safe room out of the White House, Magneto aims the television cameras at himself and prepares to kill the President with the whole world watching. Mystique disguises herself as Nixon and wounds him with a plastic gun. Xavier persuades Mystique not to kill Trask and allows her and Magneto to flee. The Sentinel program is cancelled and the dark future is averted.
Wolverine wakes up in an altered 2023 in Xavier's school, where he finds Iceman, Rogue, Kitty, Colossus, Beast, Storm, Jean Grey and Cyclops alive. In 1973, Mystique, impersonating Stryker, has Wolverine rescued from the river.
In a post-credits scene, a multitude of people gathered in the Egyptian desert bow and chant while a cloaked En Sabah Nur uses telekinesis to construct a pyramid. In the distance, four horsemen keep watch.
