SYNOPSIS
In 2029, mutants are nearing extinction, with no new mutants having been born in 25 years. James "Logan" Howlett, formerly known as Wolverine, spends his days working as a chauffeur in Texas. His healing factor has faltered and, as a result, his body has aged. Logan lives with mutant tracker Caliban in an abandoned smelting plant in Northern Mexico, where they care for Professor Charles Xavier, who is suffering from a neurodegenerative disease which causes him to lose control of his telepathic abilities to destructive effect. One day, Logan is approached by Gabriela Lopez, a nurse for biotechnology corporation Alkali-Transigen, who wants him to escort her and an 11-year-old girl, Laura, to a place in North Dakota called "Eden".
After reluctantly accepting the job from Gabriela, Logan discovers that she has been murdered. He, Xavier, and Laura narrowly escape from her killer, Transigen's cybernetically-enhanced chief of security, Donald Pierce, and his enforcers, the Reavers, but Caliban is captured and forced to use his powers to track them. Logan and Xavier learn that Laura is one of several mutant children Transigen was breeding using DNA samples from several mutants for the "X-23" project, and that upon completion of the "X-24" project, the children were deemed obsolete and were to be euthanized. Gabriela helped several children escape from the Transigen compound before smuggling Laura, who has been created from Logan's DNA, into the U.S.
The Reavers catch up with them in Oklahoma City, but Xavier regains control long enough to telepathically freeze everyone in their hotel, allowing Logan to kill the attackers before injecting Xavier with a suppressant and escaping. While on the highway, the trio helps 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. When the water pipe supplying the Munson house springs a leak, Logan and Will leave the house to fix it.
While Logan is gone, Xavier recalls a telepathic seizure he had in Westchester, where he inadvertently killed several civilians and X-Men. He expresses his guilt to a person he thinks is Logan, but which is actually X-24, a feral clone of Logan with a limited healing factor. X-24 stabs Xavier before slaughtering the Munson family. When Logan returns, Xavier succumbs to his wound, while Caliban sacrifices himself by setting off two grenades to destroy the Transigen van in which he is being held captive. Logan engages X-24, which gains the upper hand before a mortally wounded Will impales it using his truck. Will shoots X-24 before dying, allowing Logan and Laura to escape.
After burying Xavier, Logan passes out from exhaustion. He wakes up in a clinic that Laura had driven him to, but refuses to get further treatment and wants to abandon the trip. Laura convinces him to complete it, and they arrive at Eden, a safe-haven run by Rictor and the other Transigen test subjects that managed to escape. Logan learns that the children plan to journey into Canada and decides to part ways with them. However, when the children are intercepted by the Reavers, Logan uses a serum that temporarily restores his healing factor to intervene. Dr. Zander Rice, the head of Transigen whose father had been slain by Wolverine during his escape from Weapon X, pacifies Logan and reveals that the destruction of mutantkind is due to a genetic dampener created by Transigen. Logan shoots Rice dead before Pierce releases a regenerated X-24, which engages Logan. The children wipe out the remaining Reavers before overwhelming and killing Pierce with their powers.
Logan and Laura fight X-24, with Rictor using his seismic powers to help them. X-24 brutally impales Logan on the branches of a fallen tree, but is killed when Laura shoots it with an adamantium bullet Logan had been keeping since his escape from Weapon X. Mortally wounded, Logan tells Laura not to be the weapon she was made to be before dying in her arms. Laura and the other children mourn his death and hold a somber burial before continuing across the border in search of a new beginning.
