THE X-MEN FACE A DANGEROUS MISSION IN �X2: X-MEN UNITED� SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 4, ON FOX

Already living in a society that mistrusts them, the mutants are faced with even more discrimination after an unforeseen enemy launches a devastating attack. The news of the assault causes a public outcry against the mutants, including renewed support for the Mutant Registration Act, and William Stryker (Brian Cox) is among the most vocal supporters of the legislation. Stryker puts into motion a plan to eradicate the mutants and begins an offensive on the X-Men mansion and school. Magneto (Ian McKellen), having escaped from his plastic prison, forms an unlikely alliance with Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) to stop Stryker. With the fates of Xavier, mankind and mutantkind in their hands, the X-Men face their most dangerous mission yet in X2: X-MEN UNITED airing Sunday, Feb. 4 (7:30-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
