XXX


Xander Cage, a.k.a. xXx, a law-breaking, extreme sports enthusiast, with a propensity for rebellious behavior, is 'hired' by Augustus Gibbons to go undercover in order to find out more about the underground group 'Anarchy 99' and in particular their leader 'Yorgi', a Russian ex-soldier who has a grudge against society and authority.

Delving into the dark underworld inhabited by the group, Xander finds himself drawn to Yorgi's, apparent, girlfriend Yelena, who turns out to be an abandoned agent of a Russian intelligence agency, the FSB and he negotiates an asylum deal with Gibbons to save her life.

Anarchy 99 turn out to be planning a series of chemical weapons attacks on major world cities, utilizing a high speed automated sea-faring drone, named Ahab, with the device designed to travel to each location, deploy its toxins and carry on its journey.

After dealing with agent-turned-criminal Milan Sova, who finds Xander's methods so extreme that he defects in support of Yorgi, Xander arranges an operation to raid the remote castle which Yorgi and Anarchy 99 have been using as their base and laboratory.

After Xander shoots and kills Yorgi, the movie has Xander speeding along winding roads, and parasailing onto Ahab, the drone, as it speeds down the river towards Prague, finally ending in his successful destruction of the drone and the chemicals onboard.
