Locked away in a special institute, two self-appointed renegade mutant ‘elders’ prepare six young people – born to rebel, but destined to harness their mutant powers to serve a population that has been conditioned to disown them – for their new future, by subjecting them to a rigorous mental and physical training regime designed to fully develop their extraordinary powers. When a corporate psychopath launches his bid to dominate mankind by manipulating the dream dimension, he finds one missing link… a mutant’s super brain.

X-Facts
The unrated version which aired overseas features swearing, a racial slur, and an uncomfortable “strip” scene between Jubilee and Emma Frost.
Heather McComb was originally cast for Boom Boom or Dazzler. She switched to Jubilee role right before filming.
Production filmed at Hatley Castle, the same mansion used in the original X-Men trilogy.
Buff and Refrax replaced CGI-heavy characters Husk and Chamber, respectively.
