Publisher's Synopsis
This newest action thriller from the team of director Rob Cohen and star Vin Diesel (THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS) follows Xander Cage, a charismatic extreme-sports fanatic who is recruited by a secret government agent (Samuel L. Jackson) to infiltrate a Russian crime ring. He becomes an X-Games version of James Bond, skateboarding down flights of stairs and snowboarding down avalanches to save the world from bad guys. Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) is an underground extreme-stunt star-he's cool, chrismatic, covered in tattoos, and he likes to spend his days performing wild, illegal stunts for the video cameras of his devoted fans. When the US government, in the form of a secret agent named Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson), finally catches up with him, he's given a choice: doing time in federal prison, or serving the government he's spent his life defying. His mission is one no other agent has been able to survive: He must infiltrate a Russian crime ring that has come into possession of Silent Night, a secret formula that will enable them to destroy the world.;Now, with only his own cunning and athletic ability to rely on, Xander, or Triple X, has to win the trust of the criminals-including the sexy, mysterious Yelena (Asia Argento)-and find a way to stop them from succeeding in their deadly mission.
