The past comes back to haunt Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) in the form of a mysterious nemesis named Gabriel (Esai Morales), who seeks to control a terrifying, A.I.-based weapon that has the potential to change the fate of the world. As a deadly race around the globe begins, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than his mission – not even the lives of those he cares about most.

Over the course of six films, Ethan and his IMF team have saved the world and accomplished more impossible missions than we can count. This time, however, their mission is so dangerous and epic that it can’t be contained to just one film – even with its nearly-three-hour running time. But fear not, this impeccably-made thriller rockets along with exhilarating action set pieces that continue to one-up the death-defying stunts that have become a hallmark of the franchise.
