Dopo aver ritrovato la punta d'oro massiccio della Piramide di Giza, Jack West crede di potersi godere un meritato riposo in Australia, insieme con Lily, la sua figlia adottiva. Ma un membro del suo team lo contatta e gli rivela che superare le Sette Prove è stato soltanto l'inizio: il mondo, insomma, ha ancora bisogno di loro, perché un'altra catastrofe incombe. Stavolta la sfida consiste nel trovare sei leggendari diamanti - i Pilastri - e incastonarli nelle altrettanto leggendarie Sei Pietre Sacre: soltanto così si potrà contrastare una gigantesca fonte di energia che finirebbe per distruggere completamente l'umanità. Nel breve arco di nove giorni, il gruppo di West dovrà decifrare l'enigma di Stonehenge e violare le camere segrete delle piramidi, sopravvivere a un inseguimento sulle montagne della Cina e sfuggire a una tribù cannibale in Congo.

Il capitano dei marine Shane "Scarecrow" Schofield è assegnato alla scorta del neoeletto presidente degli Stati Uniti durante la sua visita all'Area 7, una base militare supersegreta nel deserto dello Utah. Quella che doveva essere una missione di routine si trasforma però ben presto in un incubo per Scarecrow e i suoi commilitoni. Caesar Russell, un ex comandante dell'aeronautica accusato di alto tradimento, sa che nel cuore del Presidente è stato installato un microchip che trasmette segnali a un satellite: l'arresto del cuore causerebbe un'interruzione della trasmissione e attiverebbe le testate nucleari collocate negli aeroporti più importanti degli Stati Uniti.
