Xander Cage, a.k.a. xXx, is a law-breaking extreme sports enthusiast, with a propensity for rebellious behavior. After crashing a senator's Corvette for banning extreme sports, he is given a choice by US Government agent Augustus Gibbons- work for him or serve a prison term for his misdeeds. He grudgingly chooses government employment. He is to go undercover in order to find out more about a rebellious 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, and secure her a new life in America. However, Anarchy 99 turns out to be a terrorist faction, planning a series of chemical weapons attacks on major world cities by utilizing a high speed automated sea-faring drone, named Ahab. Xander, with Yelena continuing to act as a double agent, learns that Ahab is equipped with a device designed to travel to highly populated areas where it can deploy its biological missiles and continue on its world-ending journey by submerging in the ocean. Afn agent-turned-criminal Milan Sova, finds Xander's methods so extreme that he defects in support of Yorgi, and Yelena is forced to kill him. Then, 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, Xander speeds along winding roads, and parasails onto Ahab, as it speeds down a river towards Prague, finally destroying the drone and the chemicals onboard. The movie ends with Xander on vacation with Yelena in Bora Bora as agent Gibbons jokingly informs him that because of his actions during the movie, he has passed "The Test", the "Gibbons Test".
