In Brazil, a satellite that had fallen out of orbit crashes on NSA Agent Augustus Gibbons who is attempting to recruit footballer Neymar for the Triple-X (xXx) program, seemingly killing them both. In New York City, Xiang's team infiltrates a CIA office to recover "Pandora's Box", a device that can crash satellites as warheads. CIA Agent Jane Marke finds ex-operative Xander Cage, who faked his death and lives in the Dominican Republic. She persuades Xander to return and retrieve the device. In London, Xander enlists his old friend Ainsley's help and tracks attackers to the Philippines. At an RAF outpost in Lakenheath, a Special Forces unit led by Paul Donovan is assigned to assist Xander, but he rejects them for his own team: sharpshooter Adele Wolff, DJ Harvard "Nicks" Zhou, getaway driver Tennyson "The Torch," and weapons expert Becky Clearidge. The team finds Xiang and his teammates Serena, Talon, and Hawk. Xander meets Xiang in an underground nightclub on a remote island, where Xiang reveals that his team are also xXx agents recruited by Gibbons. Xiang says he stole Pandora's Box to prevent misuse, but Serena wanted to destroy it. Russian soldiers then raid the island. The group fights them off, while Xiang escapes with the device. Xander chases him to a nearby beach. Serena betrays Xiang, destroys the Box, and joins Xander, while Xiang escapes to regroup with Talon and Hawk. After another satellite crash in the Olympic Stadium in Moscow, Marke determines that the device Serena destroyed was only a prototype. Xander discovers CIA Director Anderson is involved and possesses the actual Pandora's Box. Xander's and Xiang's teams race to reach Anderson first in Detroit, tracking the unique signal emitted by Pandora's Box, with Xander and Xiang reluctantly cooperate to fight Anderson's men. Xander confronts Anderson, who admits to causing the satellite crash that killed Gibbons, before Wolff shoots him dead. Xander reluctantly allows the CIA to arrest Xiang in an attempt to frame him for the Moscow attack, and they secure the box. En route back to headquarters, Marke announces that the CIA has shuttered the program and shoots Xander to keep it for herself. She then sends a hitman squad to eliminate the others to tie up loose ends. They join forces to fend off their attackers, assisted by former xXx operative Darius Stone. Xander, saved by Becky's bulletproof vest, teams up with Xiang to fight Donovan and his men. Marke uses the box to send a satellite towards the warehouse, aiming to kill both groups. Donovan uses bionic gloves to punch equipment as Xander dodges. In a bathroom fight, Donovan punches the toilet, creating an opening for Xander to eject him. Xiang causes Marke to fall to her death and parachutes out with the box. After Serena reports Becky's failed signal stop, Xander crashes the plane into the satellite to protect everyone, then jumps out and lands safely. Xiang gives him the device, which he destroys by stomping. Darius arrives in Xander's old car, and they introduce themselves. The team attends Gibbons' funeral, where Gibbons, who faked his death and is rebuilding the program, approaches Xander, now recruiting Neymar. Gibbons compliments Xander, who chooses to stay in service.
