Storyline

Two mutant brothers, Logan and Victor, born 200 years ago, suffer childhood trauma and have only each other to depend on. Basically, they're fighters and killers, living from war to war through U.S. history. In modern times, a U.S. colonel, Stryker, recruits them and other mutants as commandos. Logan quits and becomes a logger, falling in love with a local teacher. When Logan refuses to rejoin Stryker's crew, the colonel sends the murderous Victor. Logan now wants revenge.

Trivia

Poker player Phil Hellmuth Jr. was going to have a cameo alongside fellow player Daniel Negreanu at Gambit's table, but he was committed to a game in Toronto and couldn't be present for filming, See more »

Goofs

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the first scene of the movie, it reads "North-West Territories, Canada, 1845". Canada and the Northwest Territories were separate British colonies until 1870, but this is done deliberately for a modern audience, who would be unfamiliar with the terms used in 1845. See more »
