Storyline
In 1845, James Howlett, a boy living in Canada, witnesses his father being killed by groundskeeper Thomas Logan. Six years later, in 1979, Logan works as a logger in Canada, where he lives with his girlfriend Kayla Silverfox. Once the procedure is complete, Stryker orders that Logan’s memory be erased so he can be used as Stryker’s personal weapon, but Logan overhears and escapes to a nearby farm, where an elderly couple takes him in.

“The language of prose is very different than the language of cinema. The movie has to successfully translate what was in the book.”
