Plot: Sequel to 2002's "xXx", Agent Gibbons and gadget expert Toby Lee Shavers, escape a deadly attack by unknown assailants on the NSA's XXX underground operations center. Gibbons suspects the killers were sent by a radical, covert faction within the government and is looking for a new special agent to smoke them out. Unfortunately, the perfect man for the job is in jail. He is Darius Stone and is currently under lockup in a military prison for striking a superior officer. Gibbons aids in Stone's daring escape from prison and convinces him to become a new XXX agent to stop the overthrow of the U.S. government.
At the White House, the centrist President Sanford butts heads with his radical Secretary of Defense, George Deckert, a former general with past ties to both Gibbons and Stone. Stone is also being pursued by FBI agent Kyle Steele (Scott Speedman), an ambitious up-and-comer who considers Stone a dangerous criminal. To aid him in his mission, Stone turns to two old friends from his days on the streets of Washington D.C.: Lola, a former flame who now owns a high-end car dealership, and Zeke, a renegade chop-shop operator with access to both weaponry and personnel. Stone and his compatriots must unite to oppose one of the most formidable threats to American freedom ever mounted, led by an enemy with the ultimate in modern firepower and manpower at its disposal.
