He takes the girl to help her reach home. On the way, she tells him that her name is Rose. And she adds that her father burnt their house because they had a lot of memories in that house. He didn’t want anyone to come to his house and live. They were on their way in the car when the petrol finished and her father went to bring the petrol and they got separated from there. After that, she got kidnapped. She says that they have to go to the same petrol pump. They head towards there. She find her father’s car there but they don’t find him there. So she says James to drop her to her aunt’s home because her father might have gone there. James says that the place is very far so he tells Rose to stay at his sister’s house. At first, Rose says that she wants to be with her father at the very last moments of her life but because she doesn’t have any option, so she goes with him. In his sister’s house, he sees that all the members have been killed. He doesn’t feel like Rose should see that and hence he tells Rose tostay at the swimming pool and swim.

He feels that the place may be safe for Rose. But the policeman’s wife tells them to go away. The policeman looks very sad and tells James to kill everyone because he doesn’t want to live in the fear of getting killed. James declines that and they head towards the party.

 

They reach to the party and see everyone enjoying. The party was hosted by his friend. His friend’s sister was his ex-girlfriend. She takes him inside to get intimate with him. But James can’t do that because he is in the grief of loosing his sister and her family. Now his ex-girlfriend takes him to the bunker and says that they will be saved in the explosion. But James declines that and says that not any bunker is going to save them. She gets angry and stressed with his words. James gets out of there and sees that Rose is vomiting because of some intoxicants given to her by the unknowns. He takes Rose from there and goes to his mother’s house.

Plot summary:

The opening sequence of the movie shows the time period of 2029 where a man named Wolverine better known as Logan has become 200 years old. It is shown that since he has become very old he has become very weak and has lost his powers to self heal the wound. He works as a taxi driver in Texas. For the past twenty years, no mutant child has taken birth. All the mutants like Logan were killed and only Logan is left now. And now Logan too is tired because he has been fighting various missions since past years.

 

Logan has now become a heavy drunkard. He has even put his name his original birth name that is James Howlet. One day when he takes his passengers to the graveyard, a nurse approaches him and tells him that she wants help from him. Logan doesn’t pay any attention to her and leaves the place. When he gets back to his taxi, he finds a man in the taxi. He tells Logan that the nurse had something that he wants and even adds that if he finds her again he should call him. Saying this, he gives him a card where it is written ‘Alkali Transigen’. This is the same organization that does experiments on the mutants. And this organization was run by Striker. Logan was known as experiment no. X there. They injected a metal in his body and due to this his hands and his body became as strong as steel.

 

Logan now goes to the place where he lives. With him live two other mutants. One mutant’s name is Caliban. Caliban has the ability to detect where the next mutant is. Another mutant’s name is Charles Xaviers and he is very old. He is mentally unstable and they have to continuously inject medicines into his body to make him stable. One day, Logan gets late to give him the injection, and due to this, the old mutant shakes everything up and even lifts Logan in the air. And after that Logan puts an injection into his body and he calms down.

 

Next day Logan goes to the location to pick his passenger and that day too he meets the same nurse. With the nurse, there is a young little girl named Laura. The nurse knows that Logan is a mutant and she wants him to help Laura reach a place safely. She even says that she will pay 50000 dollars for that work. Since Logan was running out of money, he had to accept that. He asks her who Laura is and she replies that she is her daughter and her husband wants to take her away and that’s why she wants Logan to help them reach to North Dakota. Logan accepts that and says that he will come to pick her up tomorrow. The nurse gives him 20000 dollars as an advance.

 

Next day when Logan reaches there, he finds out that the nurse has died, someone has murdered her. She had her cell phone in her hand where she has replied to someone “On my way”. Logan doesn’t want to get into any trouble so he leaves the place. On his way he finds the same man who had told him to call him if he finds the nurse. He asks him why he didn’t do so and even asks him where Laura is. Logan tells him that he knows nothing. The man, named Donald tells his men to take a look in his home. And then Laura kills the men who went in to look for her. The people start firing toward Laura but she fights awesomely. She has metallic claws as well as feet and hence she rips everyone off. Then Logan, Laura, and Charles Xavier get into the car and run away. Caliban is under Donald’s control. He asks Caliban to detect the mutants but Caliban refuses that. But then he tortures him so bad that he has to do that anyway.

 

On the way, Logan watches the video left by the nurse. She tells that the organization used to inject the mutant into the bodies of women and they used to get pregnant and eventually the mutant babies would take birth. They trained these mutant babies but they were not that competent. So they performed an experiment called X-24 and it was successful and that’s why they decide to kill all those mutant children. The nurse used to work there and got to know everything and hence she helped the kids to run away from there. Knowing all this Logan feels that he should help Laura. Looking at the medical reports of Laura, Logan gets to know that they have the same DNA and hence Laura basically is Logan’s daughter.

 

He also finds a comic of X-men in her bag where it is written the same coordinate as told by the nurse to take Laura. So he understands that it is not a safe place but only a fictional place. Now Logan goes to his hotel back where Laura and Charles were. Everything starts vibrating and people get paused at the same place where they are. He also sees Donald’s men with guns in their hands. Since the men have paused, so Logan kills each of them and successfully gives injection to Charles because it was him who caused the vibration. Then they run away from that place because Donald was there.

 

On their way, they help a family to put their cattle on place and that’s why they give them place to stay that night. Logan goes to the farm to help the family with the pump and at the same time the successful mutant X 24 comes and kills everyone in the house, even Charles and takes Laura. But when he was leaving Logan gets there and fights with him. X24 also has the similar DNA and claws like Logan but he is way too powerful. Logan starts losing. This scene is seen by Caliban who is in a vehicle far away so he blasts the grenades in the vehicle that takes his owns life too. X24 gets distracted and Logan starts attacking him. But x24 keeps winning and now he is on the verge of killing Logan. And at that time appears the owner of the same house Will and he hits X24 with a car and he continuously fires at him. Will even fires at Logan because Logan was also the reason for his family’s death. But the bullets had finished so Logan is saved. But will dies because he too is injured. Logan takes Laura and the dead body of Charles and buries him. He grieves at Charles’s death because Charles was the one who did a lot to help the mutant children.

 

Logan’s car doesn’t start and he gets frustrated and starts hitting the car. Since Logan had become very weak hence he gets unconscious and Laura takes him to the hospital. He gets well and the get into the car. Laura tells him that she has to reach North Dakota. Logan gets surprised because it was the first time Laura opened her mouth. Logan tries to convince her that there is no such place in real but it is something mentioned only in comics. But Laura gets stubborn and he has to take her there anyway. But Logan had become so weak that he gets unconscious while driving and hence Laura drives the car. They reach North Dakota. Logan faints there too.  All the other mutant children had already reached there. They help Logan to come up the cliff. They inject Logan with a serum that helps Logan to get well.

 

Next day, children tell that they need to get to Canada because it is safe for them there. Logan has to get back now. The following day when Logan gets up, the children had already gone. But Logan also sees that Donald and his team have reached near.  So Logan goes to save the children. He injects himself with the serum to get power and due to this, he fights so well with the Transigen group that he kills them. But the serum stops working soon and he gets weak. Then there arrives the mastermind, Dr. Zander. Logan had killed Dr. Zander’s father in the past to run from the lab. Logan somehow shoots Dr. Zander and attacks Donald too. But there comes X 24 and they start heavily fighting. The mutant children also start attacking Donald and his team and kill them. On the other hand, x 24 has nearly killed Logan. So Laura shoots x24 with the Adamantium bullet and kills him. Logan is very injured and is dying. Logan tells Laura to run away and save herself and never be like others. For the first time, Laura calls Logan ‘Dad’. Logan passes away and they bury him nearby and put a cross sign over there. Laura turns the sign and makes it as ‘X ’ because Logan was experiment no. X. The mutant children are safe and the story ends here.

On the other hand, another time frame of 2022 AD is shown where we see little Adam in his school. Two boys named Ray and Chuck are bullying him and beating him hard. Due to Adam’s restlessness, he keeps on getting beaten by these two people. The school principal also gets to know about their fight and as a result, she suspends three of them from the school for a few days. Adam’s mom comes to pick him up from the school.

In addition to this it is also shown that his mother is a single parent, her husband has already died.

 

In the other scene, it is shown that Adam is playing in his backyard and his mother calls him to the house to say that she is going somewhere out that evening. Adam asks her if she is going for a date and her mother replies that she is going with her colleague Dereck. Now that Adam is alone in his home, he starts playing video games. But suddenly his room's light turns off and his dog starts barking looking at the forest. This makes Adam very curious and he starts going there with a torch on to check who there is. And then he feels that there must be someone and hence he runs towards the garage. There he finds adult Adam from the future. Looking at him, young Adam asks who he is with a baseball bat in his hand and he starts calling someone too. Adult Adam asks him to not do so and tells him that he will do no harm to him. Young Adam calms down and takes him to his home where adult Adam starts cleaning his wound and puts a band-aid on it.

 

On the other hand, young Adam takes some gadgets out of adult Adam’s bag. Adult Adam warns him to not touch anything from his bag. Young Adam keeps on asking Adult Adam who he is and Adult Adam relies on that he is Young Adam’s future. This makes young Adam speechless and starts getting unconscious and adult Adam gives him an inhaler. They see each other’s same watch which was gifted by their dad. Adult Adam adds that he wanted to go to 2018 but he got mistakenly into 2022.

 

Now both of them head towards the forest where adult Adam shows young Adam his spaceship. Young Adam gets amazed since he had never seen something like that before. But since adult, Adam was injured so the spaceship doesn’t start because the spaceship starts when the DNA of the owner watches. But this time it didn’t work because adult Adam was seriously injured and was bleeding. Since both adult Adam and young Adam have the same DNA, hence young Adam is made to operate the machine and it starts working too. They get into the spaceship and leave the spaceship in self-repairing mode. Adult Adam now goes to the garage and tells young Adam to go to his home. Adult Adam starts looking at his wife's photo. He must be missing her. On the other hand, Adam’s mom comes back home and adult Adam gets emotional since she had already left the world in 2050.

 

The next day after his mom heads towards the office, young Adam goes to the garage to meet adult Adam. His wound was still not fine so they had to go to the pharmacy. Both of them go to a medical store where they get some medicine. When they were returning, they get across the same bullies who start beating young Adam. Adult Adam tells young Adam to not show that he is afraid but rather face with full confidence. And young Adam does that too but gets beaten this time too. This makes him very sad and angry at the same time and he leaves the place. Adult Adam scares the bullies and they run from the place.

 

On the other hand, young Adam is angry with adult Adam and gets into the garage but doesn’t open the door but rather uses his phone. This makes him sad and he goes to a bar. At the bar, adult Adam finds his mom who says another man that her son Adam keeps on fighting with him and doesn’t listen to him at all. Listening to this, adult Adam says that he is just young and mischievous but he definitely loves his mom. His mother doesn’t believe that but Adam says that she will realize this very soon with time.

 

 In the next scene, Maya is shown and she has come to the same time frame of 2022. She sends some robots to get adult Adam back. On the other hand, young Adam is seen asking adult Adam about his wife. Adult Adam adds that his wife Laura had gone to 2018 but has not returned yet. He even shares that Maya told him that Laura has died in a spaceship crash but he doesn’t believe so because Laura was the best pilot. He adds that to find that out he wants to go to 2018. Actually, Adam’s father had made the time-traveling spaceship and Maya was his dad’s partner.

 

During all that adult Adam feels that someone else is there too and he throws a bomb at the door which kills the robot sent by Maya. Some more robots arrive there and adult Adam fights with all of them and all the robots get destroyed. And then Maya sends one of his men who beats adult Adam up and he starts losing. And at that time his life Laura appears surprisingly and they defeat the robots together and Maya runs away. After that, they take young Adam in a car so that they can go to a safe place. But Maya starts following them once again. This time too they fight successfully and find their way.

 

Laura tells adult Adam that someone had gone to 2018 and she too went there to find that out. Laura even adds that his father got permission to work on a project in November 2018. The name of the project was ‘The Adam Project’. She adds that it must be Laura who went to 2018 and she blew Laura’s spaceship off and due to this she got stuck in 2018. Laura in the next scene tells adult Adam that he has to go in 2018 and stop his dad from completing that project and she will stop Maya from getting there. One of Maya’s men comes following them and before he reaches Laura tells Adam to go fast and that she will take care of the rest. Laura blows that man’s car off and even fires at him.

 

On the other hand adult Adam and young Adam get into the spaceship to go to 2018. Young Adam had to go because adult Adam was still injured and he had to start the spaceship. On the other hand, Maya comes to Laura in a spaceship and kills her. After that Maya follows Adam and his younger self. Adult Adam and young Adam get to 2018 in a university where they find their dad and they explain everything. But their father Louis tells them that they have already made a lot of time frames and hence they should get back to their own time and he can’t help them. This makes adult Adam very angry but Louis adds that Maya was the one who started doing that.

 

 

On the other hand, Maya also comes in 2018 where she too meets her younger self. Her younger self tells her that she should not do that because it is wrong. But Maya doesn’t listen to her younger self at all. Now that Louis’s wife also gets to know that both of them are her son so she asks her husband to help them. Adam and his younger self now make a plan to destroy Maya’s workplace. Young Adam and adult Adam together fight against the robots together using various gadgets. But at a moment adult Adam was going to get hit by a car and his father Louis comes to help him.

Adult Adam gives a sign to young Adam to get a move and during this Maya’s gun fires a bullet at the machine due to this the electromagnetic field of the machine gets disturbed and as a result, it starts attracting all the magnetic substances. And due to this, robots too get attracted to the machine and one of the robots pulls young Adam with himself, and due to this young Adam gets into the device. Young Adam using a gadget comes out and starts fighting with the men of Maya and the device pulls the man into it and gulps him. Maya on the other hand tries to shoot Louis since he didn’t give the hard drive but due to the same magnetic field the bullet hits younger Maya and due to this the older Maya fades away too.
