A new renegade fighter rises to defend the United States from an internal threat in this
action thriller.
Augustus Gibbons (

Gibbons learns that
George Deckert (

Darius Stone (

Deckert and his troops.
XXX: State of the Union is the sequel to the 2002 hit

Vin Diesel nor his character,
Xander Cage, appear in this picture.
