In the 1960s, the Cold War is escalating and tensions between humans and mutants are at an all-time high. Against this backdrop, telepathic mutant Charlie Xavier discovers a young shape-shifting mutant named Ronald, who is struggling to come to terms with his powers. Together, they form the first class of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, with the goal of promoting peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants. However, their mission becomes complicated when they encounter Erika Lehnsherr, a powerful mutant with the ability to manipulate metal. Erika, who has been through unspeakable horrors during World War II, believes that mutants should use their powers to dominate humans rather than coexist with them. As Charlie and Erika clash over their competing visions for mutantkind's future, they must also contend with the machinations of Samantha Shaw, a wealthy mutant with ties to the U.S. government who seeks to trigger a nuclear war that will wipe out humanity and allow mutants to take over.
