Synopsis

Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) is XXX. He makes his questionable living by selling web videos of his outrageous, thrill seeking exploits, whether parachuting out of a stolen car as it plunges 700 feet off a bridge, or other renegade activities which invite maximum adrenaline flow or, perhaps, a very early grave. Xander has a coterie of friends and admirers in their death-defying subculture, but after his umpteenth tangle with the law, his world is about to take the most extreme detour yet...

...For what Xander doesn’t know is that he’s been “scouted” by Agent Augustus Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson), a veteran agent with the National Security Agency whose tough attitude and scarred face mark him as a grizzled but determined warrior for America. Gibbons and the NSA are facing a desperate situation in distant Prague, where their undercover operative has been killed by a gang of cutting-edge thugs calling themselves Anarchy 99, headed by the brutal ex-Russian Army commander Yorgi (Marton Csokas) and his beautiful but hardened girlfriend, Yelena (Asia Argento).

Gibbons needs a new breed of agent to get to Prague, go undercover, and play by Anarchy 99’s own rules...or lack of them...to stop them from destroying the world and discover just how dangerous their game really is. And Xander Cage, with his astonishing physical and athletic prowess and indifferent attitude, is a perfect, if unlikely (and completely unwilling) candidate. Gibbons will use any means possible to find out if Xander is his man for the job, even if it means putting him through the most grueling series of “tests” imaginable.

For Augustus Gibbons believes that a man can change--even a seemingly hopeless if talented guy like “X,” and so, Xander is compelled to acquire a new occupation, and a revised identity to go with it: Agent Xander Cage, code name... xXx.
