Bien qu'inspiré par le roman du même nom d'Eugène Sue, le film comprend de nombreuses différences. La famille Rennepont est la cible de la haine d'une société secrète (dans le roman, il s'agit explicitement des Jésuites, bien que l'un des Rennepont, Gabriel, soit lui-même un prêtre, très sympathique mais manipulé à son insu et dès son jeune âge par la société secrète). Au cours de la montée du Christ au Calvaire, le Juif Ahasverus lui a refusé son aide ; en punition, il est condamné à l'immortalité et à errer (dans le roman, il est lié, voire assimilé, à la propagation des épidémies de choléra). Le 13 février 1682, au cours d'une nuit de pogrom dans le ghetto de Varsovie, Marius Rennepont, marié à une Juive polonaise, est assassiné par les membres de la société secrète (dans le roman, son tort est d'être protestant, et il meurt en France, alors que la société secrète s'est emparée de presque tous ces biens, sauf...). Son enfant est sauvé par Ahasverus et le testament du mort (à ouvrir dans 150 ans) est déposé chez un notaire. 1832, la secte toujours active veut empêcher les descendants Rennepont (sauf Gabriel, qui ne peut pas deviner la manigance) d'assister à l'ouverture du testament (dans le roman, cette ouverture a lieu dans l'hôtel particulier parisien -muré pendant 150 ans- où Marius est mort). Mais Ahasverus veille... (le roman comporte de longues descriptions de la vie des ouvriers et des ouvrières, et des remèdes qui pourraient l'améliorer ; cet aspect ne peut pas être rendu fidèlement au cinéma).

The film tells the story of Lucian, the first werewolf born in human form and the first to be called a Lycan. Viktor, a vampire elder, raises the child, and envisions a race of Lycan slaves that could keep guard of the coven's fortress during the day and be used as laborers by the vampires at night. To this end, Viktor demands from the local human nobles a tribute of silver, with which to keep his slaves under control. As Lucian grows up, he and Viktor's daughter Sonja (Rhona Mitra) fall in love and begin a secretive intimate relationship in their adult years. Sonja is reckless and insubordinate, and one night Lucian escapes and rescues Sonja from his werewolf brethren. Viktor, despite acknowledging that Lucian saved his daughter, cannot forgive the escape and locks Lucian away.

Centuries ago, the Amazons, a proud and fierce race of warrior women, led by their Queen, Hippolyta (voiced by Virginia Madsen), battled Ares (voiced by Alfred Molina), the god of war, and his army. During the battle, Hippolyta beheaded her son, Thrax (voiced by Jason Miller), whom Ares forcibly conceived with her, who is fighting for his father. Hippolyta then defeated Ares, but Zeus (voiced by David McCallum) stopped her from delivering the death strike. Instead, Hera (voiced by Marg Helgenberger) bound his powers with magic bracers so that he was deprived of his ability to draw power from the aura of violence and death he could instigate, effectively rendering him mortal, and only another god could release him. In compensation, the Amazons were granted the island of Themyscira, where they would remain eternally youthful and isolated from Man in the course of their duty of holding Ares prisoner for all eternity. Later, Hippolyta was granted a daughter, Princess Diana (voiced by Keri Russell), whom she shaped from the sand of the Themyscirian seashore and gave life with her own blood.

In 1845, James Howlett, a boy living in Canada, sees his father being killed by groundskeeper Thomas Logan. The trauma activates the boy's mutation: bone claws protrude from his knuckles, and he kills Thomas, who reveals that he is James's real father. James flees along with Thomas's son Victor Creed, who is thus James's half-brother. They spend the next century as soldiers, fighting in the American Civil War, both World Wars, and the Vietnam War. In Vietnam, Victor kills a senior officer. James defends Victor and the two are sentenced to execution by firing squad, which they survive. Major William Stryker approaches them in military custody, and offers them membership in Team X, a group of mutants including Agent Zero, Wade Wilson, John Wraith, Fred Dukes, and Chris Bradley. They join the team for a few years, but the group's disregard for human life causes James to leave.
