Synopsis for "Days of Future Past"

In the 21st Century, New York City had become a nightmarish environment run by mutant-discriminatory Sentinels. Kate Pryde escaped from a group of mutant-hating thugs with Wolverine's help. During their rendezvous, Wolverine informed her of a full-scale nuclear strike on North America. Kate then entered the South Bronx Mutant Internment Center, after passing a humiliating security examination. She walked through the cemetery of fallen heroes until she reached the Anti-Sentinel Resistance. Later, Franklin implemented the “Jammer” that would disrupt the inhibitor collars that neutralized the X-Men's powers. Rachel then transported Kate’s mind into the body of her younger self. In October of 1980, after finishing a training session in the Danger Room, Kitty Pryde mysteriously collapsed to the floor. When she awoke, the adult Kate Pryde (now in her younger body) warned the X-Men of Senator Robert Kelly's assassination, which lead to her dystopic world. Forward to 2013, Magneto and Franklin were killed by the Sentinels, and the last remaining X-Men planed a final assault on the Sentinel’s Base (Baxter Building). In the present day Pentagon, Raven Darkholme (Mystique) worked out of the office of the Assistant Security of Defense for Research and Development. She lead the New Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, to which Blob had a minor objection to. At the Capitol Building, the US Senate addressed the growing issue of homo superior (mutants). As Senator Kelly prosecuted them, Professor Xavier and Dr. Moira MacTaggert realized that the X-Men had just entered the room. The Professor mind-scanned both Storm and Kitty and he was shocked to see their future. Suddenly, Mystique and the Brotherhood arrived to end Senator Kelly’s life. The X-Men revealed themselves and Mystique ordered the others to kill them.
