About Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol

Ethan Hunt and his team are racing against time to track down a dangerous terrorist named Hendricks, who has gained access to Russian nuclear launch codes and is planning a strike on the United States. An attempt to stop him ends in an explosion causing severe destruction to the Kremlin and the IMF to be implicated in the bombing, forcing the President to disavow them. No longer being aided by the government, Ethan and his team chase Hendricks around the globe, although they might still be too late to stop a disaster.

Our take on Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol

Brad Bird's 2011 entry in the spy franchise races Ethan Hunt and his team around the globe to stop Hendricks, a terrorist who has seized Russian nuclear launch codes and aims to strike the United States. When an operation goes wrong and the Kremlin is bombed, the IMF is implicated and disavowed, leaving the team to work off the grid with the clock running down. Bird, in his live-action debut, stages crisp, physical set pieces—most famously a vertiginous climb up Dubai's tallest tower—with real clarity and momentum. It suits viewers who want a slick, globe-trotting action thriller built on stunts and tension rather than heavy plotting.
