Xander Cage is back in the deadliest, wildest, and most globe-trotting chapter of the xXx franchise—where the adrenaline is higher, the stakes are global, and the descent into chaos is just the beginning.
💥 Plot Summary
After retrieving the powerful “Pandora’s Box” satellite control device in xXx: Return of Xander Cage, Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) has gone underground again—disillusioned with the spy world, but always watching. But when a rogue faction of former xXx agents led by a mysterious figure known only as “The Reaper” threatens to unleash a global blackout via a skyborne EMP network, the NSA has only one option: bring back the man who doesn’t play by the rules.
Forming a new team of elite misfits and thrill-seekers—including hacker queen Adele Wolff (Ruby Rose), martial arts enforcer Xiang (Donnie Yen), and parkour legend Talon (Tony Jaa)—Xander races across skydiving drop zones, underwater lairs, and high-speed urban warfare zones to stop a techno-doomsday.
But in this final descent, even Xander Cage might not land on his feet.
