XXX, pronounced "Triple X", is a 2002 action movie starring Vin Diesel. Diesel stars as Xander Cage, an extreme sports star who is recruited by a National Security Agency agent, played by Samuel L. Jackson, to infiltrate a group of European criminals. It was marketed as a James Bond film for the new millenium and featured similar gadgetry, international schemes and intrigues, villain-sponsored take-over-the-world schemes backed up by doomsday devices, a female co-star / love interest, and outrageous stunts (as Roger Ebert put it, "Why blow up two cars when you can blow up twenty?").

XXX was written by Rich Wilkes , directed by Rob Cohen (who also directed Diesel in 2001's The Fast and the Furious), and produced by Neal H. Moritz for Revolution Studios. Stuntperson Harry L. O'Connor was killed in an accident during filming.

A sequel is set to release in 2005, currently titled XXX:State of the Union , and will star rap artist Ice Cube and Willem Dafoe.
