In a dystopian 2029, no mutants have been born in 25 years.
Logan's healing ability has weakened and he has physically aged. The adamantium
coating on his skeleton has begun to leak into his body, poisoning him. Hiding
in plain sight, Logan spends his days working as a limo driver in El Paso,
Texas. In an abandoned smelting plant in northern Mexico, he and mutant tracker
Caliban care for 97-year-old Charles Xavier, Logan's mentor and founder of the
X-Men. Charles, a telepath, has developed a form of dementedness that causes
him to own seizures unless controlled with medication thus leaving the 3 as the
last of the X-Men.
Gabriela Lopez, a former nurse for biotechnology corporation
Alkali-Transigen, tries to hire Logan to escort her and an 11-year-old girl,
Laura, to Eden, a refuge in North Dakota. Logan reluctantly accepts but later
finds Gabriela killed. He is confronted at his Mexican hideout by Gabriela's
killer Donald Pierce, Transigen's cyborg chief of security, who is looking for
Laura. Laura has stowed away in Logan's limo and has powers kind of like
Logan's. She, Logan, and Charles escape Pierce and his Reavers, but Caliban is
captured and tortured by Pierce into tracking Laura.
A video on Gabriela's cellphone shows that Transigen created
Laura and other children from mutant DNA samples to turn into weapons. Laura
was created from Logan's DNA. As they proved difficult to control and Transigen
had found an alternative, the children were to be killed, but Gabriela and
other nurses helped some of them escape. In state capital, Logan discovers that
Eden appears in an X-Men comic in Laura's possession and tells her it is
fictional. The Reavers arrive, but Charles has a seizure and incapacitates
everyone in the vicinity except for Logan and Laura, who kill the attackers and
inject Charles with his medication. As they flee, Dr. Zander Rice, head of
Transigen, arrives to help Pierce.
After burying Charles, Logan passes out. Laura takes him to
a doctor and persuades him to prove that the site in North Dakota isn't Eden.
They arrive and find Rictor and other Transigen children preparing to cross to
Canada. Laura finds AN adamantium bullet Logan has kept since his shake the
Weapon X facility, which he once considered using to commit suicide. Logan
decides his job is done and chooses not to accompany them, much to Laura's
dismay.
When the children are captured by the Reavers, Logan takes
an overdose of a serum given to him by Rictor that temporarily enhances his
healing abilities and boosts his strength. With Laura's help, he slaughters
most of the Reavers, but the serum wears off. As Pierce holds Rictor at gunpoint,
Rice tells Logan (who killed Rice's father years ago at Weapon X), that no new
mutants were born due to a virus created by Transigen that has been distributed
through the world's food supply and which was also causing the decay of Logan's
healing factor. Rice is shot dead by Logan, who then attacks Pierce. X-24,
enraged by Rice's death, fights Logan. With their guards distracted, the
children kill Pierce and the remaining Reavers. Rictor uses his powers to flip
a truck onto X-24, but he frees himself and impales Logan on a large tree
branch. As X-24 continues clawing Logan, Laura shoots X-24 in the head with the
adamantium bullet, killing him.
Near death, logan tells Laura not to become the weapon she
was made to be, and after Laura finally tearfully acknowledges him as her
father, Logan dies peacefully in her arms. Laura and the kids mourn Logan's
death and bury him. Laura turns his grave marker on its side to create an X, to
honor him as the last of the X-Me
