PLOT


Its 2029, and mutants are on the cusp of extinction, No mutant has been born in the past 25 years. Wolverine, with a new identity, James "Logan" Howett, spends his days working as a chauffeur and hustling for prescription drugs in Texas.
His body having aged considerably as a consequence of the adamantium fused to his bones, has started poisoning him and inhibiting his ability to heal instantly.  Logan cohabits with fellow mutant Caliban, whose ability is to track mutants, in an abandoned smelting plant across the border in Mexico, where they provide for Professor Charles Xavier, who is sick with a neurodegenerative disease, causing him to loose control of his telepathic abilities to precise effect. One day Logan is approached by Gabriella, a nurse for biotechnology corporation Alkali Transigen. she wants him to escort her and  11 year old girl, Laura to a place in North Dakota called, Eden. Donald Pierce, Transigen's cybernetically enhanced chief of Security, tracks down Logan and asks that he help him find Laura, but Logan declines.

After reluctantly accepting the job from Gabriella, Logan discovers that she has been murdered. He, Xavier, and Laura narrowly escape from Pierce and his cybernetically-enhanced enforcers, the Reavers, but Caliban is captured and forced to use his powers to track them. Logan and Xavier learn through a video on Gabriella's phone that Transigen was breeding mutant children using DNA samples from several mutants for the X-23 project, but found that the children were difficult to control as they grew up. Upon completion of the X-24 project, the children were deemed obsolete and were to be terminated. Gabriella helped several children escape from th Transigen compound before smuggling Laura, who is revealed to be Logan's biological daughter, across the border.

while staying in Oklahoma City, Logan finds Eden referenced in one of Laura's X-men comics and concludes that it is purely fictional. The Reavers catch up with them, but Xavier suffers another seizure and telepathically freezes everyone in the hotel, allowing Logan to kill the attackers before injecting Xavier with a suppressant and escaping. While on the Highway, the trio help a family, the Munsons, round up their horses after a traffic incident. The Munsons invite them over for dinner, and they accept under the guise of being a trigenerational family. When a nearby pipe springs a leak, Logan and the Munson father, leave the house to fix it.

While Logan is gone, Xavier recalls a telepathic Seizure he had in Westchester, where he inadvertently killed several X-men. He expresses his guilt to a person he thinks is Logan, but which is actually X-24, a feral clone of Logan. X-24 stabs Xavier through the chest before slaughtering the Munson family. Logan returns to find X-24 carrying a shackled Laura out of the house and a critically injured Xavier. Xavier succumbs to his wound and Caliban sets off two grenades to destroy the Transigen van in which he is being held captive, sacrificing himself in the process. While Logan and X-24 are fighting each other, a mortally wounded will appears and impales X-24 onto a combined harvester with his truck. He attempts to shoot keeling over dead, allowing Logan and Laura to escape.

Having buried Xavier, Logan faints due to exhaustion. Laura is forced to steal an old car from a man who had been fishing with his dog and takes Logan to a nearby clinic but he refuses further treatment. Logan plans to ditch the trip to Eden, but is convinced by Laura to complete it. Meanwhile, X-24 is given a serum to aid in his regeneration by his creator, Dr. Zander Rice, the head of Transigen. 

Logan and Laura arrive at Eden, a safe haven run by Rictor and the other Transigen test subjects that managed to escape. Rictor gives Logan small doses of the mutant serum to help him heal. Logan learns that the children hope to make a journey across the forest to the Canadian border, where there are people willing to help them. Fearful that his presence may jeopardize their safety, Logan plans to break free of the children. He changes his mind and takes an overdose of the serum to restore his healing factor when the children are ambushed by the Reavers in the forest and begins slaughtering the Reavers in rage, but the serum's effects quickly wear off. 

Dr. Rice, confirms that Logan killed his father during Logan's escape from the Weapon X program at Alkali Lake in 1983, reveals that the destruction of mutantkind is due to a genetic dampener created by Transigen, whose intent is to control the mutant population and create their own weaponised version. Logan shoots Rice dead before Pierce releases X-24, who engages Logan. The children wipe out the remaining Reavers before overwhelming and killing Pierce with their powers.

Rictor uses his seismic abilities to assist Logan and Laura, as they fight X-24. However, X-24 pins  Logan on the branches of a fallen tree, and before he can terminate him, Laura shoots X-24 dead with an adamantium bullet. Seriously wounded, Logan informs Laura not to be the weapon she was made to be, and she accepts him as her father as he dies in her arms. Laura mourns his death with the kids and hold a burial with a cross which Laura changes to an X. she remembers he is the last of the X-men, before continuing on their journey across the border in search of a new beginning.
