Synopsis
Generation X (1996) is a Fox TV movie you can watch online on iFILM — Marvel's first live-action attempt to bring its mutant characters to the screen, three years before Bryan Singer's X-Men. Director Jack Sholder follows a group of teenage mutants training at the Xavier School under Emma Frost (Finola Hughes) and Banshee (Jeremy Ratchford).
Their lessons break down when a deranged scientist called Trash (Matt Frewer) starts pulling mutants into his dream experiments. The students, barely past the basics of controlling their own abilities, have no choice but to fight back before they're ready.
Modest in scale — a Fox pilot that never got its series — but a genuine historical first for live X-Men on screen. Stream Generation X (1996) online on iFILM.
