See the films the platforms disagree about most →In the near future, assassins called "Loopers" kill targets sent back in time by the criminal syndicate of the further future. A Looper's career concludes when his future self is sent back for him to kill, closing his loop. When one Looper faces his older self, he hesitates, allowing his future self to escape. This failure triggers a manhunt as both versions try to alter their fate.
