The film is a visceral and bloody survival thriller. Logan, a man with no memory but indestructible metal claws and a healing factor that makes him nearly immortal, is on the run in the snowy forests of Canada. He is being hunted by Division H, a secret paramilitary organization led by the sadistic Dr. Cornelius and his enforcer, Sabretooth.
Logan is not a hero; he is a cornered animal. The plot focuses on the body horror of the Weapon X experiment — the constant pain of the metal poisoning his blood and the struggle to maintain his humanity while the beast within wants to take over. When he crosses paths with a young fugitive (perhaps an early version of Jubilee or X-23), he is forced to stop running and become the predator. The climax is a brutal battle in an underground laboratory, filmed with the intensity of a horror movie.
