Kansas 2044. Il viaggio nel tempo non è ancora stato inventato ma trent'anni più avanti è divenuto una realtà di cui però è vietato l'utilizzo. Ovviamente il crimine non si occupa dei divieti e ne fa un uso molto specifico. Un'organizzazione guidata da un capo spietato 'trasferisce' le proprie vittime trent'anni indietro dove un killer (detto 'looper' traducibile in 'uomo che si occupa del cerchio') lo attende per eliminarlo e farne sparire il cadavere. Joe è un looper che risparmia ciò che guadagna in questo mestiere per alimentare il sogno di potersi trasferire in Francia. Ma dal futuro è iniziata una nuova campagna: tutti i looper ancora presenti sul territorio nel 2074 vanno spediti trent'anni indietro perché vengano uccisi. Un giorno Joe si vede arrivare davanti se stesso, con trent'anni in più.
