The American superhero movie "X-Men: First Class" is based upon the comic books of Marvel Comics and was the fifth installment in the X-Men film series. Keyroles are played by James McAvoy as Professor Charles Xavier, Michael Fassbender as Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto and Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw. The story is the epic beginning of the X-Men saga and tells the secret history of famous global events, set against the two young (at first) close friends Professor X and Magneto, who later become arch- enemies, to prevent Nuclear Armageddon.

The music was composed by Henry Jackman whose credits include "The Da Vinci Code" with Hans Zimmerman, "Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", "Pirates Of The Caribbean: At Worlds End" and recently the 2016 soundtrack for "The 5^th Wave". Upcoming soundtracks include "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" and "Jack Reacher: Never Go Back", both scheduled for 2016/2017 release.

Henry won the ASCAP Film and Television Music Award in 2012. His music score is the perfect backdrop for this action movie.
