Quote:

In 1944, a young Erik Lensherr (Magneto) is with his mother and father at a Nazi concentration camp in German-occupied Poland, where they are forcibly separated. He tries to run to them but is restrained. It is here that his superpower manifests itself; in his panic, he severely twists the gate separating them before he is knocked unconscious.
