extinction, with no new mutants having been born in 25 years.
James "Logan" Howlett, formerly known as Wolverine, spends his days drinking and working as a limo driver in
El Paso, Texas. His healing factor has faltered and, as a result, his body has aged, he can no longer heal at an accelerated rate. Logan lives with mutant tracker
Caliban in an abandoned smelting plant in
Northern Mexico, where they care for former
Professor Charles Xavier, who is suffering from an unknown brain disease which causes him to lose control of his
telepathicabilities to highly destructive and concussive effects via seizures. One day, Logan is approached by Gabriela Lopez, a former nurse from a biotechnological corporation, Alkali-Transigen, who asks him to escort her and an 11-year-old girl,
Laura, to a place in
North Dakota called "Eden".
Logan reluctantly accepts the job, but the next morning, discovers Gabriela murdered. Returning to his hideout, Logan is confronted by Gabriela's killer, Transigen's cybernetically-enhanced chief of security,
Donald Pierce, who is looking for Laura. Logan, Charles and Laura, who stowed away inside Logan's limo earlier, narrowly escape from Pierce and his enforcers, the
Reavers, but Caliban is captured and forced to use his mutant-tracking abilities to locate the trio. Logan and Charles learn from a video on Gabriela's cellphone that Laura is one of several mutant children that Transigen, under the guise of a cancer research project, was secretly breeding from
DNA samples of several mutants in the early 2020's. As part of the "X-23" project they were to be used as weapons, but proved difficult to control, and upon completion of the "X-24" project, the children were deemed obsolete and were to be euthanized. Gabriela and several other nurses helped many children escape from the Transigen compound, becoming separated from the others when smuggling Laura, who was created from Logan's DNA, into the United States.
They take refuge at a hotel in
Oklahoma City, where Logan discovers that Eden is actually from an
X-Men comic book in Laura's possession. The Reavers catch up with them, but Charles, appearing to have another seizure, telepathically incapacitates every sentient being within and around the hotel, allowing Logan to kill the attackers before injecting Charles with a suppressant and escaping. While on the highway, they help farmer Will Munson and his family after a traffic incident. The Munsons invite them over for dinner and they accept under the guise of being a trigenerational family. Meanwhile,
Dr. Zander Rice, the surgical head of Transigen, arrives to aid Pierce and the Reavers. Realizing Caliban is withholding the whereabouts of his friends, Rice convinces him that no harm will come to Logan and Charles if they recover Laura. When the water pipe supplying the Munson house springs a leak, Logan and Will leave to fix it. Along the way, Logan learns the Munsons live near a major corporate farm that creates genetically-engineered corn for the purpose of being used in drinking products, and are stalled from returning home by a confrontation with the corporation's enforcers.
Later that night, Charles expresses his guilt to a man he believes is Logan of a telepathic seizure he had in
Westchester, where he inadvertently injured several civilians and killed seven mutants. The man is revealed to be X-24, a feral clone of Logan with mindless rage and a highly developed healing factor. X-24 mortally wounds Charles, captures Laura, and murders Will's son and wife when they attempt to stop him. When Logan and Will return, X-24 stabs Will and heads over to deliver Laura to Rice, but Logan attempts to save Charles instead. Before he can reach Rice, X-24 is distracted by the enforcers from the corporate farm, who mistake him for Logan, and he murders them all. Despite Logan's attempts to save him, Charles Xavier dies from his wounds as Logan repeatedly assures him that he was not his attacker. Caliban sacrifices himself by setting off two grenades to destroy the Transigen van in which he is being held captive, killing several Reavers and injuring Pierce, to give Logan and Laura a chance to escape. Enraged by Charles' death, Logan engages X-24 but is no match for his younger clone. Will, struggling to stay alive, manages to incapacitate X-24 by impaling him into farm equipment using his truck, but dies from his injuries moments later. Logan and Laura manage to escape with Charles' body.
After burying Charles, Logan passes out from rage and exhaustion. He wakes up in a clinic which Laura had driven him to, where a doctor urges him to rest and get treatment for his deteriorating condition. Logan refuses and wants to abandon the trip. Laura convinces him to complete it and, two days later, they arrive at the location of "Eden", where they discover it is run by
Rictor and the other Transigen test subjects that managed to escape. One night, Laura asks Logan about an
adamantiumbullet she found in his possession. Logan reveals that he has kept it since his escape from
Weapon X as a reminder of his past but now was planning to use it to commit suicide to end his suffering, as he believes it is the adamantium in his body that is killing him. Logan learns that the children plan to journey to
Canada, where they will be safe, and decides to part ways with them, to Laura's dismay. However, when the children are intercepted and captured by the Reavers, in order to save them, Logan takes an overdose of a serum given to him by Rictor that temporarily increases his physical abilities and restores his healing factor. Logan violently slaughters most of the Reavers and rescues Laura, but soon the serum wears off and his healing factor disappears. Locating the rest of the children, Logan and Laura split up, with Logan approaching Pierce, who has Rictor at gunpoint. Rice introduces himself to Logan and mentions his father who had been slain by Logan during his escape from Weapon X, and reveals that the destruction of mutantkind is due to a virus created by Transigen that has been dispersed in food products. Before he can continue, Logan shoots Rice dead and attacks Pierce, who saves himself by releasing a regenerated X-24 who, enraged by Rice's death, engages Logan. With their guards distracted, the children wipe out the remaining Reavers before overwhelming and killing Pierce with their powers.
Logan and Laura fight X-24 to no avail, but Rictor manages to use his terrakinetic powers to flip a truck onto X-24. Logan tells the children to run as X-24 claws his way out from under the truck and brutally attacks Logan again. With Logan severely beaten, X-24 drags him to a fallen tree, impales him on a large branch, and resumes attacking with his claws until he is shot dead with Logan's adamantium bullet by Laura, who had returned to help him. Severely wounded and unable to heal, Logan tells Laura to leave with her friends and to not be the weapon she was made to be. When Laura finally addresses Logan as her father, Logan dies peacefully in her arms. Laura and the other children mourn Logan's death and hold a small burial for him. Once the other children leave, Laura turns the cross on Logan's grave to its side to create an "X" before tearfully walking away, joining her friends as they continue their journey towards the border.
