Xander decides to return to active service to retrieve Pandora’s Box, a device which is capable of controlling satellites to crash at specific locations as warheads. Xander meets Xiang in an underground nightclub on a remote island, where Xiang reveals that his team are also xXX agents, recruited by Gibbons. After another satellite crash in the Olympic Stadium in Moscow, Marke determines that the device that Serena destroyed was only a prototype, and that both teams have been wasting time, while Xander determines that CIA Director Anderson is involved in the conspiracy. Xander confronts Anderson, who admits to causing the satellite crash that killed Gibbons, and is then shot dead by Wolff.
Marke then sends a group of assassins to eliminate the others, who are awaiting extraction at a local NSA warehouse. They join forces to fend off their attackers and receive assistance from another former XXX operative, Darius Stone. Xander survives due to a bulletproof bulletproof vest that Becky had given him earlier and joins forces with Xiang to fight Donovan and Marke while Marke uses the box to send a satellite plummeting towards the warehouse. Despite Becky’s attempts to stop the satellite, Xander crashes the plane into the approaching satellite before it reaches the warehouse and gives the device to Xiang, who gives it to Xander to destroy. The team attends Gibbons’ funeral, where Xander is approached by his newest team, who is now rebuilding the XXX Program on his own, starting with Neymar, who also faked his own death as part of the new program. The group manages to fight off the attackers, while Xiang manages to escape with Pandora’s box. Shortly after, Russian soldiers raid the island, and Xander manages to fendoff the attackers and escape with Xiang, while the group manage to escape from the attackers to the Philippines. Xander’s and Xiang’s teams race to reach Anderson first in Detroit, with Xander and Xiang fighting and later protecting each other from Anderson’s men. They are also aided by introverted weapons specialist Becky Clearidge.
