In 1845 Canada, young James Howlett sees his father killed by groundskeeper Thomas Logan. The trauma activates the boy's mutation: bone claws protrude from James' hands, and in a mindless rage he kills Logan. With his dying breath, Logan tells James that he is his real father. James flees but is confronted by Logan's abused son and James' half-brother Victor Creed. James and Victor run away, with Victor vowing that they will look out for each other. With their powerful healing abilities, the two survive for over a century as men in their prime, living out their violent urges together in the American Civil War and both World Wars. During the Vietnam War, Victor kills his superior after the superior stops Victor from raping a young girl. James defends his brother and the two are executed by firing squad, which they survive. Major William Stryker approaches the two and offers them membership in Team X, a group of mutants that includes marksman Agent Zero, mercenary Wade Wilson, teleporter John Wraith, invincible Fred Dukes and electricity-controlling Chris Bradley. The brothers agree and participate in a raid on an African diamond trafficker to retrieve a meteorite. The meteorite leads the team to a village, which Stryker orders destroyed after the villagers refuse to help. James is disgusted by the massacre and leaves the group.

Six years later, James - now going by the name of his father, Logan - lives in Canada with his girlfriend Kayla Silverfox. Stryker, now a colonel, locates Logan and warns him someone is killing members of the team, with Bradley and Wade already dead. Shortly afterward Victor murders Silverfox. Logan battles his half-brother, but is defeated. Stryker offers Logan a way to beat Victor, as the rogue mutant is dangerous to Stryker's career. Logan undergoes an operation to reinforce his skeleton with adamantium, a virtually indestructible metal retrieved from the meteorite. Before the procedure, Logan asks for new dog tags inscribed with "Wolverine", based on a story Kayla told him. After the procedure, Stryker orders Wolverine's memory to be erased, but Wolverine overhears him and flees. Wolverine takes refuge in the barn of an elderly couple who take Logan in for the night. In the morning Zero kills the couple and pursues a fleeing Wolverine, but Logan ends up killing him.

Wolverine locates Wraith and Dukes and asks them about the location of Stryker's new laboratory, referred to as, "the Island". They explain that after Logan left Team X they began capturing mutants, and that Victor, who still works for Stryker, is continuing their work. Stryker is performing experiments on the mutants on the Island, hoping to duplicate abilities, but one of them, Remy LeBeau (also known as Gambit), escaped and knows the location of the Island. Wraith and Wolverine locate Gambit and Wolverine asks for the location of the Island, vowing to destroy it. Gambit suspects Wolverine was sent to recapture him and attacks. Outside, Victor, learning his brother's location from Dukes, kills Wraith and takes a sample of his blood. Wolverine attacks and almost kills Victor, but Gambit interrupts the fight, inadvertently letting Victor escape. After a struggle with Wolverine, Gambit realizes he was honest and flies him to the mutant prison on Three Mile Island.

Wolverine confronts Stryker, learning that Silverfox is still alive, having faked her death with hydrochlorothiazide. Silverfox, a mutant with the powers of persuasion, kept track of Wolverine in order to free her sister, Emma Frost. Wolverine forgoes his path of revenge and leaves the facility. Victor shows up, but is denied the adamantium bonding. Enraged at this proof of Logan's superiority, Victor tries to kill Kayla, but Logan, hearing her screams, stops him. Despite Victor's encouragement, Logan spares him, denying his feral nature, and agrees to help Kayla free the imprisoned mutants.

Panicking, Stryker activates his newest creation, Weapon XI, a surgically altered Wade Wilson with the abilities of other mutants, designed to be the "ultimate mutant killer". Weapon XI attacks Wolverine and the escaped mutants, which results in Silverfox being shot. The mutants escape through the facility's tunnels, guided by a young Scott Summers who is following a voice in his head. Outside, the party is greeted by Professor Charles Xavier, who guided Scott and offers them shelter at his school.

The fight between Wolverine and Weapon XI spills onto the top of one of the plant's cooling towers, where Victor arrives and aids his brother (claiming no one will kill James but him). Together, they decapitate Weapon XI. Wolverine informs Victor that despite his help, their relationship is over. Victor simply reminds him that as brothers, they can never be finished, and escapes. Wolverine is saved from the collapsing tower by Gambit. Logan asks Gambit to ensure the mutants' safety while he finds Kayla. As he carries her to safety, Stryker shoots Wolverine in the back and head with adamantium bullets, knocking him unconscious. Silverfox uses her powers to order Stryker to walk away before dying from her injuries. Gambit returns, but due to amnesia caused by the brain damage inflicted by the bullets, Wolverine does not remember anything. As ambulances and police arrive, Gambit tries to convince Wolverine to come with him, but he declines. Gambit wishes Wolverine good luck before they depart. Stryker is found and arrested by the military for killing a general in Three Mile Island.
