The Abridged Script

By Alex W.

FADE IN:

EXT. BIG OL' WIDE OPEN TOTALLY FLAT FIELD

JEREMY RENNER

(on radio)

Simon, come in, Simon! The evil guys are prepping their evil plane for evil takeoff, we don't have much time! Report!

SIMON PEGG

(popping up in field)

I'm here, Jeremy! Right over here, I know I could have stayed hidden since you're on radio but helloooo, everyone! Hellooooooo!

(waves arms)

JEREMY RENNER

Why aren't you hidden in the forest further back? Do our spy gadgets have less range than a fucking Radio Shack walkie-talkie?!? Dammit, this mission is about to fail unless somebody does a big movie-opening stunt!

SIMON PEGG

Sorry, I'm only cleared for comic relief plus madly tapping on keyboards and tablets. No can do.

VING RHAMES

(on radio)

And my range of skills is limited to standing, sitting, and also tapping on keyboards and tablets. Guess we're fucked.

But suddenly TOM CRUISE appears, who was apparently just hanging out in the wide open empty field in his BUSINESS CASUAL outfit for some reason.

TOM CRUISE

DON'T WORRY GUYS I TOTALLY GOT THIS!!!!

TOM jumps onto the PLANE'S WING and slides to a DOOR and GRABS it! The plane TAKES OFF!

SIMON PEGG

OHMIGOD TOM IS TOTALLY HANGING ONTO THAT PLANE IN REAL LIFE HOLY FUCKING SHIT plus all the safety harnesses and redundancies and failsafes and all that but still HOLY GODDAMN FUCKING SHIT

TOM CRUISE

SIMON OPEN THE DOOR NOW! I mean first give everyone lots of time to appreciate this awesome stunt of course but then OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!!!!

SIMON fucks around on his tablet, opening the WRONG DOOR and then opening a SWISS BANK ACCOUNT and opening a MAN OF LA MANCHA REVIVAL OFF-BROADWAY and opening SESAME until finally opening the CORRECT DOOR. The rush of air YANKS TOM out of his impressive stunt and into a OBVIOUS CGI EFFECT that just kind of cheapens everything.

CUE: MISSION IMPOSSIBLE THEME!

INT. CONGRESSIONAL HEARING ROOM

JEREMY RENNER is testifying before YET STILL ANOTHER one of those CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS that exist solely to BUST MOVIE PROTAGONISTS' BALLS.

ALEC BALDWIN

So in conclusion, the IMF, and in particular Tom Cruise, sucks. Please remember how much I am shitting all over Tom Cruise's abilities in this scene, for later reference.

GRUMPY OLD CONGRESSMAN FUCKER

He's right, Jeremy. Plus, it's become tradition to disband or discredit the IMF in each movie, so once more, we're dissolving the entire organization.

JEREMY RENNER

Damn. But the Avengers, we're still cool, right?

INT. RECORD STORE - LONDON

TOM arrives and exchanges coded spy phrases with the CLERK in the form of a ten-minute conversation about jazz records.

CLERK

Well, you're either the 27th hipster to wander in here today, or an IMF operative. May I recommend this LP of Duke Missionbriefing and the Covertagents?

TOM enters a listening booth and plays the record which has SPY GIZMO stuff!

RECORDING

Greetings, Mr. Cruise. Your mission, should you choose to PSYCH THIS ISN'T IMF IT'S THE EVIL SYNDICATE, OH YEEEAHHHHH! Now we're going to gas you to sleep, and I really don't know why we went to all the effort of making a fake IMF recording, since we're releasing the gas AFTER tipping our hand.

GAS starts coming in! Outside the booth, SEAN HARRIS shoots the CLERK and GLARES EVILLY!!

TOM CRUISE

Ooh, you're gonna regret showing your face to me for utterly no reason!

(coughing)

Gas.. filling.. chamber! Must.. punch glass.. uselessly!

(losing consciousness)

Must.. place.. solitary hand.. on window.. so it can.. dramatically.. slide.. downwards!

(passes out)

INT. COLD GREY INTERROGATION ROOM

TOM wakes up SHIRTLESS and cuffed to a POLE.

TOM CRUISE

Either this is the post-shoot cast party or I'm in serious trouble..

REBECCA FERGUSON, JENS HULTEN, and some GOONS show up to TORTURE TOM. But suddenly REBECCA knocks out JENS, frees TOM, and they KILL the GOONS! They do not however finish off JENS since his contract stipulates he can only be killed at the END of the movie.

TOM CRUISE

Um, we haven't met before, right? This is your first Mission: Impossible movie?

REBECCA FERGUSON

Duh, I'm playing The Girl, of COURSE this is my first Mission: Impossible movie. First, and last. The rules are QUITE specific on that point. Now get out of here.

EXT. LONDON

TOM calls JEREMY for help.

JEREMY RENNER

Sorry, the IMF is shut down and Alec Baldwin is after you. Yes, Alec Baldwin. I know it's pretty much impossible to take him seriously after years of playing Jack Donaghy, but--

TOM CRUISE

(dramatically)

Did you say.. IMPOSSIBLE?!???

CUE: MISSION IMPOSSIBLE THEEEME!!

INT. CIA HEADQUARTERS - SIX MONTHS LATER

ALEC almost catches TOM, but TOM pulls a SILENCE OF THE LAMBS FAKEOUT and escapes. Disheartened, ALEC decides to go harass SIMON PEGG, since after disbanding the IMF for being foolhardy reckless idiots they went and hired them all for the CIA obviously.

ALEC BALDWIN

We think you may still be in contact with Tom. Rather than monitor your phone, or your email, or do shit the CIA might do, instead I'll just ask you in person. But with a polygraph! Which no spy in history has ever beaten. So where is he?

SIMON PEGG

You think I care about that asshole? Every movie Tom gets to mack on some new hot babe while I just do wacky hijinks. Fuck him! Fuck that fucking fuck!

ALEC BALDWIN

I see the polygraph remained on flatline during that entire emotional speech. Which tells me you're consciously dampening it and everything you've said is a big fucking lie. I'll just have to

(leaves)

Back at his desk, SIMON gets Vienna opera tickets in the mail so he flies to another country to see opera.

INT. VIENNA OPERA

As SIMON arrives a mysterious figure shoves a PACKAGE into his hands. Inside are IMF SPY GLASSES with a RADIO HOOKUP!

SIMON PEGG

It's a good thing our CIA really hates doing CIA shit like surveilling me, that was obviously you, Tom.

TOM CRUISE

(on radio)

Listen up. Something's going down here tonight, and I need your help.

SIMON PEGG

Wait, WHAT?!? You mean the opera tickets were from YOU?!?!???? WHAAAAAAAAA?!?!?

TOM CRUISE

(on radio)

Uh, yeah. I assumed you figured that out the instant you saw the tickets, since your character's supposed to not be a total fucking imbecile.

SIMON PEGG

Yeah, I assumed that too, but apparently not. What's the plan?

TOM CRUISE

(on radio)

I'm convinced that Sean Harris is here to do evil. Since he is a super-clever assassin-spy, my theory is he will sit right out in the open with no disguise, so start scanning the audience.

Meanwhile REBECCA arrives also, wearing the traditional ASSASSINATRIX DRESS which shows plenty of leg while maintaining a dangling length of fabric that ends RIGHT at the heels, and which would cause any NORMAL person to trip and faceplant themselves within two minutes of putting it on.

REBECCA FERGUSON

It's true, pulling off spy maneouvres in this klutztrap should be.. IMPOSSIBLE!!

CUE: MISSION IMPOSSIBLE THEEEEEME!!!!!

INT. BACKSTAGE

TOM CRUISE

A-ha! Stop right there, Evil Flautist!

EVIL FLAUTIST

Damn, how did you know I was an assassin?!

TOM CRUISE

Assassin? I meant how you arrived the same time as the audience right before the performance. Have you never heard of warm-up rehearsal, you fuck?!?

They FIGHT on lighting rigs that go UP AND DOWN all comically! TOM is almost defeated but calls a TIME OUT which for some reason EVIL FLAUTIST actually GOES ALONG WITH. TOM WINS!

TOM CRUISE

Hey, his flute is really a sniper rifle, cool! Sure, it's no machine-gun-in-an-acoustic-guitar, but still.

(activates spy intuition powers)

Fuck, he was going to shoot the Austrian Ambassador when the last sung note of 'Nessun Dorma' happens! Funny he wouldn't wait until the thunderous applause AFTER the aria, it would be much better cover. But even though I've stopped HIM, I see Rebecca and an Evil Guard taking aim!

Quickly, TOM wound-shoots the AMBASSADOR before REBECCA can shoot the AMBASSADOR before the EVIL GUARD can shoot the AMBASSADOR! However the AMBASSADOR gets BLOWN UP anyway because fuck it, it's only AUSTRIA.

INT. SEAN HARRIS'S LUXURY SUITE

REBECCA reports back to SEAN HARRIS and shows off her VAJ-JITSU FINISHING MOVE on a RANDOM HENCHMAN.

SEAN HARRIS

(in menacing whisper)

So, Rebecca. Earlier, back at the interrogation spot, you failed me and let Tom escape. But I let you live.

(pause)

Now you have failed me again, and let Tom escape, again. And so you give me no choice..

(sinister pause)

..but to let you live. Again.

(shoots random henchman)

Here is your new task. But I warn you, it would be MOST unwise to fail me.. yet again.

EXT. THE DOCKS

TOM AND SIMON'S GETAWAY CAR speeds off, after which TOM AND SIMON step out from the shadows.

SIMON PEGG

Who the fuck is driving that thing?

TOM CRUISE

Never mind that. During our escape, Rebecca said we could find her if we needed to. But all we have is this exotic lipstick she left behind.. oh I know, there's probably some fiendishly intricate clue that only our top-flight spy training can possibly--

SIMON PEGG

Actually the bottom comes off and there's a thumb drive. There are novelty USBs at fucking Best Buy harder to open than this.

On the thumb drive is the location of REBECCA'S super swanky spy pad!

EXT. REBECCA'S SUPER SWANKY SPY PAD

TOM CRUISE

Remember we're still not sure if we can trust her, so be on your guard and don't HELLOOOO, SEXY SWIMSUIT BABE!!!

(jaw drops)

(eyes pop out)

AA-OOO-GAH!! AA-OO-GAH!! QUICK GIVE HER ALL OUR PASSWORDS AND BANKING INFORMATION

REBECCA FERGUSON

Careful not to protest TOO much. Anyway, exposition. Hint of betrayal. Sexy overtones. Mission.

SIMON PEGG

Woah, an underwater room with electronic cards of everyone's security profiles? That seems extra ridiculous. Surely you mean the CPU is being supercooled, right? Or do they also store the top-secret chocolate in the sunlamp room?

REBECCA FERGUSON

Nope. The CPU's completely underwater along with all the data storage, which should get totally fried by water. They also keep their spare keyboards underwater along with the entire IT department. Plus Accounting. They just fucking love putting shit underwater, it's their thing.

TOM CRUISE

We'll do it! Say, perhaps you have a spare superspy wetsuit custom-fitted to an ACHOOty-three-year-old five-foot-HACKCOUGH man?

REBECCA FERGUSON

Why, of course!

(gets suit)

It helpfully displays how much oxygen you have left in your body. Since the body is two-thirds oxygen, when the readout hits zero you will suffer total spontaneous cell death and instantly become a dessicated corpse.

(pause)

Or maybe it magically senses how much air is in your lungs, why not. In case you don't notice when you fucking drown.

(laughs)

It's almost as if there's some unseen audience, watching your every move, who can't be trusted to know that people underwater eventually run out of breath!

INT. TOP SECRET DATA STORAGE FACILITY

SIMON parades in the front door using his normal face, because the super-hi-tech biometric identity-confirming security system doesn't have enough memory to store HEADSHOTS. Elsewhere, TOM and REBECCA are sneaking in!

REBECCA FERGUSON

We've got to swap this written in neon. I'll just have to guess.. THIS one!

Shockingly it WORKS and SIMON gets the data! However TOM runs out of air.. so REBECCA leaps in and saves him with no fancy suit or oxygen readout or anything, so thanks for coming out TOM. They emerge in the DRAINAGE ROOM.

INT. DRAINAGE ROOM! DRRAAAAAAIIIINNN-AGE!!!!!!! (SORRY, DANIEL DAY-LEWIS RUINED THAT WORD FOR ME)

SIMON PEGG

(rushing in)

Is Tom okay? I got the data though! Look, here it is, in this thumb drive, right here!

REBECCA knocks him out and takes it, WHAA?! She gets a MOTORCYCLE and races off chased by SEAN'S GOONS! TOM and SIMON chase the GOONS! There is a BIG-ASS CHASE that ends with TOM crashing the fuck out of his car for some reason!

MOTORCYCLE GOON

Ah, now I can walk slowly up to the overturned car and shoot Tom and Simon. I'm going to savour this kill. Yes, plenty of time to leisurely walk over, I'm sure that 4x4 hurtling towards me will veer off at the last possible

(dead)

JEREMY RENNER

(in 4x4)

Hey, it's me and Ving! Yup, we're still barely in this movie.

TOM grabs the motorcycle and resumes the CHASE! The CHASE is filmed very well and it really looks like TOM and REBECCA and TWO STUNT DUDES are doing high-speed shit! Sure, ONE EVIL DUDE basically gets himself smooshed through sheer incompetence and the OTHER EVIL DUDE gets taken out pathetically easily, but still, IT REALLY LOOKED LIKE TOM DID THAT!

REBECCA FERGUSON

You won't catch me so easily. Observe, the Casino Royale manoeuver, where the love interest suddenly appears in the middle of the road!

TOM CRUISE

Arrgh I've avoided onrushing cars at high speed in split seconds, but can't dodge a single standing person!! NOOOOO

(crashes)

INT. BAR OF FAILURE

The TEAM slouch in and gather round the TABLE OF DEFEAT.

JEREMY RENNER

Fuck. All the big action set pieces from the trailer are over, and we haven't won yet.

SIMON PEGG

Well that sucks. Now we have to try to build to a climax without any awesome stunts, why that's--

VING RHAMES

Not now, dude.

SIMON PEGG

--that's gonna be--

JEREMY RENNER

Please don't-

TOM CRUISE

(dramatically)

--IMPOSSIBLE?!?!???

CUE: MISSION IMPOSSIBLE THEEEEEEEEEEMMEEE!!!!!! DUN! DUN! DUN, DUN, DUN! DUN! DUN, DUN, DUNNN!!!

EXT. BRITAIN

REBECCA meets up with head of British Intelligence SIMON MCBURNEY.

REBECCA FERGUSON

Turns out I've been deep cover for MI6 all along! Hm, maybe we should have saved MI6 for M:I-6.

(shrugs)

Anyway here's the data disc, which is actually a thumb drive but for some goddamn reason we call it a 'disc' ten thousand fucking times IT'S NOT A DISC PEOPLE, DISCS ARE ROUND

SIMON MCBURNEY

Yes, well. I know you've blown your cover harder than Ben Affleck's nanny [FUTURE READERS: UPDATE AS NEEDED], but I must insist you return to the field, probably to be instantly killed.

REBECCA FERGUSON

Are you just angry because your name sounds like Simon Pegg landing a really good insult?

INT. TOM'S HIDEOUT SPOT

SIMON PEGG

So since I sneakily copied the data on the disc..

TOM CRUISE

THUMB DRIVE THUMB DRIVE DISCS ARE FUCKING ROUND GODDAMMIT

(wrecks furniture)

SIMON PEGG

..er, thumb drive, I've figured out it's actually a list of secret bank accounts full of money. But to decode it we need a code phrase from the PRIME MINISTER OF ENGLAND, DUN DUN DUNNNNN!

JEREMY RENNER

That means Sean Harris will go after the PM! We've gotta warn him.

TOM CRUISE

No, we can't! That's what Sean EXPECTS us to do! He's anticipated EVERYTHING!

VING RHAMES

Then how can we defeat him?

TOM CRUISE

We DON'T! He's EXPECTING us to defeat him! That would play RIGHT INTO HIS HANDS! We should all BLOW OUR OWN BRAINS OUT RIGHT HERE AND NOW!!!

(grabs gun)

SIMON PEGG

(soothingly)

All right, it's fine, we won't warn anyone, we'll keep going it totally on our own, solving every problem with outrageous spy stuff, we promise, just caaaaallmmm down.

EXT. GRAVEYARD

REBECCA meets up with SEAN and the GOONS. She hands over her THUMB DRIVE but.. it's BLANK!

SEAN HARRIS

(in menacing whisper)

So, Rebecca. You have failed me, yet again, and let Tom escape.. yet again. And so, you give me no choice..

(sinister pause)

..but to let you live. Yet again.

(pause)

Here is your new task. But I warn you, it would be REALLY MOST unwise to fail me.. yet again again.

INT. AIRPORT

TOM sends REBECCA a SPYPE MESSAGE to meet at the AIRPORT.

REBECCA FERGUSON

So, here we are.

JEREMY RENNER

And me too! Look, I'm standing over here!

VING RHAMES

And I'm slouched against a wall over HERE!

SIMON PEGG

And I'M presenting a rather inviting kidnap target over HERE!

REBECCA FERGUSON

You have a formidable team, Tom, no doubt. But Sean Harris is super-duper-extra-formidable. We should just run away together, you and I.

TOM CRUISE

That sure is tempting. Wait, hang on, don't I have a wife somewhere?

(shrugs)

No matter, I have to defeat Sean. It's my lifelong goal that we only learned about in this movie.

REBECCA FERGUSON

Very well. Oh by the way Sean has kidnapped Simon, so if you HAD run off with me, Simon would be totally fucked.

TOM CRUISE

Oh no! Jeremy, run with me after Simon! Ving, try to do one thing in this whole movie that involves moving around!

VING RHAMES

Okay, I'll walk towards Rebecca so she can't slip away.

(people go by)

Oof! Ugh! Cannot.. get.. through.. modest amount of people! Spy training.. thwarted.. by.. random.. commuters!

TOM CRUISE

God DAMMIT Ving.

EXT. PHONE BOOTH - LATER THAT NIGHT

JEREMY RENNER

(on phone)

Alec? It's me. Listen, Tom's gone over the edge. I can't side with him any more, so I'm betrayAH HA HA HA HA HA

(pause)

Sorry, sorry. Like I was saying, I'm totally going behind Tom's back to BWAH HA HA HEE HOO HEEEEE

(pisses self)

NO NO WAIT, wait, honestly, I am TOTES selling Tom out and BWAH HA HA HA I CAN'T KEEP THIS GOING JUST MEET US LATER OKAY BYE

INT. BIG FANCY TUXEDO BUILDING THING

JEREMY and ALEC rendezvous with SIMON MCBURNEY and together they get the PRIME MINISTER alone in a room.

SIMON MCBURNEY

Spot of bother, Prime Minister. Apparently Tom Cruise is after you because of that, y'know, thing we did that time.

PRIME MINISTER

What, the ultra top secret spy program that went ROGUE and formed its own NATION? That then turned evil so we disavowed it utterly? The one that totally justifies all of Tom Cruise's crazy actions and thoroughly exonerates him from wrongdoing? That one?

SIMON MCBURNEY

Ha-yup.

PRIME MINISTER

Well I don't see how one deranged superspy can be any threat to ME, an elected politician!

ALEC BALDWIN

(has psychotic break)

You don't understand, sir. Tom Cruise is no mere man, he's a force of nature, nay, a GOD. He is FATE, he is DESTINY, he IS the one who knocks. He stands ASTRIDE the MOUNTAINS, commanding the WIND and the STORM. ONE DROP of his ballsweat is mightier than the RAGING OCEAN, and he has made YOU his mission. One might as well STRUGGLE against the passing of TIME, take ARMS against the very TIDE OF HISTORY! He is ALPHA, OMEGA, and ALL CREATION IN BETWEEN, and you are SO HUGELY AND ALL-ENCOMPASSINGLY HATEFUCKED YOU SORRY PATHETIC BASTARD.

SIMON MCBURNEY whips off his MASK and is actually TOM!

ALEC BALDWIN

Well THIS is embarrassing.

TOM CRUISE

Surprise! I mean, we all knew SOMEBODY had to be me, in a mask, right? Shockingly it was the Tom Cruise-sized guy with a face like wet cement. I guess the only real surprise is there was only ONE mask reveal in this scene.

They DRUG the PRIME MINISTER and get the PASSCODE! TOM then uses his OK-SPYHOSTAGE account to arrange a trade for SIMON PEGG.

EXT. RESTAURANT PATIO

TOM arrives at the PATIO to find REBECCA and SIMON PEGG, who has changed into a formal EARPIECE and REMOTE-TRIGGERED EXPLOSIVE VEST for the occasion. Nearby are JENS HULTEN and the GOONS!

JENS HULTEN

Your team isn't the only one that can stand nearby at evenly-spaced points, you know. Observe as I menacingly stand over here!

OTHER GOON

Oh yeah, I am standing over HERE like a FUCKING BOSS!

ANOTHER GOON

And you better fucking BELIEVE I am totally STANDING THE EVER-LIVING FUCK out of OVER HERE!

TOM CRUISE

Rebecca, you're alive, even after you offered to ditch Sean Harris and run off with me?

SIMON PEGG

Yes, Sean just menacingly whispered in my earpiece that since she failed him, yet again again, and let you escape, yet again again, he was left with no choice.. hang on, he's pausing sinisterly.. but to let her live, yet again again.

(pause)

But he's also warning her that THIS time, it would be REALLY TERRIBLY MOST unwise to fail him.. yet again again again.

TOM CRUISE

Well I have bad news for you Sean. I memorized the entire list and destroyed the thumb drive! So now you have to keep me alive and let Simon go.

SIMON PEGG

Okay, but Sean is saying that we only HAVE the list because we copied it, before giving it to Rebecca. So why wouldn't he assume we just copied it again?

TOM CRUISE

Simple, because I KNEW that he'd know that I would anticipate his not believing I'd not think of him anticipating I'd not fail to know to make another copy.

(grins smugly)

SIMON PEGG

(pause)

Okay, he bought it. I'm free to go!

Nice move, Tom. What clever plan do you have for evading the four goons?

TOM CRUISE

I figured we'd just stand up and shoot them.. I mean we're out of big stunts after all.

This WORKS! TOM and REBECCA run through the streets, pursued by SEAN and JENS.

SEAN HARRIS

(shooting at Tom)

COME BACK HERE I NEED YOU ALIVE!!

(shoots more)

MY WHOLE PLAN NOW HINGES ON YOUR KNOWLEDGE

(fires rocket)

REBECCA fights JENS one-on-one, eventually DEFEATING him with the exact same finishing move she always uses and which he'd seen firsthand, so WAY TO ADAPT BUDDY. Meanwhile TOM jumps into a HOLE and SEAN follows, only to find himself in a BIG PLEXIGLASS BOX, slowly filling with KNOCKOUT GAS!

SEAN HARRIS

Dammit, the classic Bookend-Reversal Trap! Just please don't do the thing where-

VING RHAMES

OH YES WE WILL, here's ME standing TO YOUR LEFT!

JEREMY RENNER

And check it out I'm TOTALLY STANDING BEHIND YOU ASSHOLE!

SIMON PEGG

AND ME AND MY SWOLLEN COCK OF REVENGE ARE STANDING ERECTLY TO YOUR RIGHT, DOUCHEBAG!!!

SEAN HARRIS

Fuck all of you. Well I can still pull one last dick move, by doing the 'overcome by sleepy gas' shtick better than Tom did!

(passes out)

TOM CRUISE

GODDAMN YOU SEAN

Fuelled with rage, TOM pushes the entire bulletproof steel-jointed cage over ALL BY HIMSELF into a waiting van. Then he DRAGS THE ENTIRE VAN to CIA HQ with his TEETH and for an encore does the ENTIRE TWELVE LABOURS OF HERCULES with his LEFT NUT because he is TOM FUCKING CRUISE in a TOM CRUISE FUCKING MOVIE and THAT'S JUST HOW THIS DAMN WELL WORKS.

INT. CONGRESSIONAL HEARING

ALEC BALDWIN

Good work, Jeremy. I've reinstated the IMF, since that mega-billion-dollar program can be turned off and on like a fucking lightswitch. Guess we won't be building those new schools and hospitals after all!

JEREMY RENNER

And with you in charge, we've managed to add another 50-something actor to our dynamic action team where a 44-year-old is the Young Guy. I gotta say, the fact we're still considered an top-tier action franchise is kind of, er, aw crap..

ALEC BALDWIN

(turns to camera)

(cocks eyebrow)

..IMPOSSIBLE?!!???

Plot[edit]

IMF agent Trevor Hanaway is killed in Budapest by assassin Sabine Moreau, who takes his file containing Russian nuclear launch codes so she can give them to a man known only as 'Cobalt'.

IMF agent Ethan Hunt has purposely become incarcerated in a Moscow prison to acquire Bogdan, a source of information on Cobalt. With help of Jane Carter, Hanaway's handler, and newly promoted field agent Benji Dunn, Hunt and Bogdan make their escape. IMF tasks Hunt to infiltrate the Kremlin to gain more information on Cobalt. During the mission, an unknown entity broadcasts on the IMF frequency ordering the detonation of a bomb. Hunt's team aborts the mission just as a bomb destroys much of the Kremlin. Carter and Dunn escape, but Hunt is captured by SVR agent Anatoly Sidorov and charged with destroying the Kremlin.

Hunt escapes and meets with the IMF Secretary, in Moscow on other business. The Secretary tells Hunt they had to initiate 'Ghost Protocol', disavowing IMF, but secretly orders Hunt to continue to pursue Cobalt. Sidorov's forces catch up to Hunt, and the Secretary is killed; Hunt escapes along with the Secretary's aide and intelligence analyst William Brandt. Regrouping with Carter and Dunn, Brandt is able to identify Cobalt as Kurt Hendricks, a Swedish-born Russian nuclear strategist, who seeks to start a nuclear war between the U.S. and Russia. Hendricks used the Kremlin bombing to cover up his theft of a Russian launch-control device, and now is planning a trade with Moreau at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai to gain the required launch codes.

The team travels to Dubai. On the 119th floor of the hotel, they create deceptions using their various gadgetry and disguises to make Moreau believe she is meeting with Hendricks, and vice versa, when in fact they are interacting with the IMF team. Moreau discovers the deception, and in the ensuing chaos, Hendricks manages to escape with the launch codes, losing Hunt's pursuit in the midst of a dust storm. As Moreau tries to escape, she is knocked out of a window by Carter and presumably falls to her death. Brandt accuses Carter of letting her love for Hanaway compromise the mission, but Hunt recognizes that Brandt has also been keeping secrets from them, having shown combat skills atypical of a mere analyst. Hunt leaves to meet with Bogdan to get more information on Hendricks, while Brandt tells the others that he had been assigned to secretly protect Ethan and his wife Julia in Croatia. Julia had been killed by a hit squad and Brandt feels responsible for Ethan's loss, which is why he stopped being a field agent.

Bogdan directs Ethan towards Mumbai, where Hendricks is set to negotiate with Indian telecommunications entrepreneur Brij Nath to gain control of an obsolete Soviet military satellite. The IMF team splits up to stop Hendricks; Carter seduces Nath to get the satellite override code, while Hunt, Brandt and Dunn try to stop Hendricks from using Nath's broadcast station. They are too late as Hendricks has sent the launch codes to a Russian Delta III-classnuclear submarine to fire a single missile at San Francisco and disabled the station's computer systems. Brandt and Dunn race to get the systems back online to send the override code, while Hunt pursues Hendricks, eventually having a brutal brawl with him face to face in an automated car park. Hendricks, with the launch device, jumps to his death moments before the missile is set to land. Hunt then uses one of the cars and takes a dangerous fall to use the device; he barely disables the missile before it strikes. Sidorov, who has followed IMF from Dubai to Mumbai, arrives and realizes that the IMF is innocent of the Kremlin bombing.

The team meets in Seattle after Ethan accepts a new mission from Luther Stickell. Brandt confesses to Ethan about his failure to protect Julia. Ethan, however, reveals that her 'death' and the murder of the Serbians were part of a plot to give her a new identity and enable Ethan to infiltrate the prison. A relieved Brandt happily accepts his mission, and becomes an agent once again. Meanwhile, Julia arrives at the harbor. Ethan and Julia gaze at each other from afar before Ethan departs for his next mission.

Production[edit]

Despite Mission: Impossible III earning less than its predecessors at the box office, its critical reception was much better than the second film and Paramount Pictures was keen on developing a fourth in the series.^[13] In August 2009, Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec were hired to write the film's screenplay.^[14] Because of other commitments, J. J. Abrams said that it was unlikely for him to return as director but made note that he will produce the film alongside Tom Cruise.^[15] By March 2010, director Brad Bird was in talks of directing the film with Cruise returning to star as Ethan Hunt.^[16]

The film was originally announced with a working name of Mission: Impossible 4 and code-named 'Aries' during early production.^[17] By August 2010, title considerations did not include the Mission: Impossible 4 name, and thought was given to omitting the specific term 'Mission: Impossible', which Variety compared to Christopher Nolan's Batman sequel film The Dark Knight.^[18] In late October 2010, however, the title was confirmed as Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.^[19]

Christopher McQuarrie (who later directed Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation and Mission: Impossible – Fallout) did an uncredited rewrite of the screenplay, explaining that:

On Ghost Protocol I came in on the middle of the shoot to do a rewrite of the screenplay, though they had already started the movie. I had to communicate with the entire staff to determine what I could and couldn't change, what sets had been built or struck, what scenes I could or couldn't reshoot. I learned so much about production being right there. .. The script had these fantastic sequences in it but there was a mystery in it that was very complicated. What I did was about clarity. The mystery had to be made simpler. It's like reaching into a sock and pulling it inside out. It's still a sock, still all the same pieces, but all put together in a different order.^[20]

Filming[edit]

The film was partially shot with IMAX cameras, which made up approximately 30 minutes of the film's run time.^[21][22] Bird insisted that certain scenes of the film be shot in IMAX, as opposed to 3D, as he felt that the IMAX format offered the viewer more immersion due to its brighter, higher quality image, which is projected on a larger screen, without the need for specialised glasses.^[23] Bird also believed that the IMAX format would bring back 'a level of showmanship' to the presentation of Hollywood films, which he believes the industry has lost due to its emphasis on screening films in multiplexes as opposed to grand theaters, and vetoing 'first runs' in favor of wider initial releases.^[23]

Principal photography took place from October 2010 to March 19, 2011.^[25] Filming took place in Budapest, Mumbai, Prague, Moscow, Vancouver, Bangalore, and Dubai.^[26][27][28] Tom Cruise performed a sequence where Ethan Hunt scales the outside of the Burj Khalifa tower, which is the world's tallest building, without the use of a stunt double.^[29] Although Cruise appears to be free solo climbing in the film with the help of special gloves, in reality, he was securely attached to the Burj Khalifa at all times by multiple cables.^[25]Industrial Light & Magic digitally erased the cables in post-production. Following Cruise's example, Patton and Seydoux also chose to forgo the use of stunt doubles for their fight scene at the Burj Khalifa where Carter exacts her revenge upon Moreau for Hanaway's death.^[25]

Many of the film's interior scenes were shot at Vancouver's Canadian Motion Picture Park Studios, including a key transition scene in a specially equipped IMF train car and the fight between Hunt and Hendricks in a Mumbai automated multi-level parking garage (which was constructed over a six-month period just for the film).^[25] The film's climax scene was shot with Indian film actor Anil Kapoor in the Sun Network office in Bangalore.^[30][31] The film's opening Moscow prison escape scenes were shot on location in a real former prison near Prague.^[25]

Bird, having directed several Disney and Pixar films and short films, incorporated the trademark 'A113' into the film on two separate occasions. The first is the design print on Hanaway's ring during the flashback sequence, and the second being when Hunt calls in for support and uses the drop callsign, Alpha 1–1–3.^[32]

Soundtrack[edit]

The musical score for Ghost Protocol was composed by Michael Giacchino, who also composed the music for the third film and collaborated with Bird on The Incredibles and Ratatouille. As in previous installments, the score incorporates Lalo Schifrin's themes from the original television series.^[33] 'Lalo is an amazing jazz writer. You know you can't write a straight-up jazz score for a film like this but you can certainly hint at it here and there,' said Giacchino, explaining the stylistic influence generated by Schifrin's history with the franchise.^[34] A soundtrack album was released by Varèse Sarabande on January 10, 2012.^[35]

All music composed by Michael Giacchino.

Distribution[edit]

Marketing[edit]

In July 2011, a teaser trailer for Ghost Protocol was released illustrating new shots from the film, one of which being Tom Cruise scaling the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa building in Dubai.^[36] Moreover, prior to its release, the studio presented IMAX footage of the film to an invitation-only crowd of opinion makers and journalists at central London's BFI IMAX theater. One of the many scenes that were included was a chase scene in a Dubai desert sandstorm.^[37]

During November 2011, the Paramount released a Facebook game of the film in order to promote it. The new game allowed players to choose the roles of IMF agents and assemble teams to embark on a multiplayer journey. Players were also able to garner tickets to the film's U.S. premiere and a hometown screening of the film for 30 friends.^[38]

Theatrical release[edit]

Following the world premiere in Dubai on December 7, 2011,^[39] the film was released in IMAX and other large-format theaters in the U.S. on December 16, 2011,^[40] with general release on December 21, 2011.

Home media[edit]

Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol was released on DVD, Blu-ray, and digital download on April 17, 2012.^[41] The home media releases, however, do not preserve the original IMAX imagery,^[42][43] and its aspect ratio is consistently cropped to 2.40:1 rather than switching to a 1.78:1 aspect ratio during the IMAX scenes. Blu-ray Disc releases such as The Dark Knight,^[44]Tron: Legacy,^[45] and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen^[46] will switch between 2.40:1 for regular scenes and 1.78:1 for IMAX scenes. The film was released on 4K UHD Blu-Ray on June 26, 2018.^[47]

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 93% based on 238 reviews and an average rating of 7.7/10, The critical consensus on Rotten Tomatoes calls it 'big-budget popcorn entertainment that really works'.^[48]Metacritic assigned the film a score of 73 out of 100 based on 47 critics, indicating 'generally favorable reviews'.^[49]

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 3.5 out of four stars, saying the film 'is a terrific thriller with action sequences that function as a kind of action poetry'.^[50] Stephen Whitty of The Star-Ledger wrote 'The eye-candy—from high-tech gadgets to gorgeous people—has only been ratcheted up. And so has the excitement.' He also gave the film 3.5 out of four stars.^[51] Giving the film three out of four stars, Wesley Morris of The Boston Globe said 'In its way, the movie has old-Hollywood elegance. The scope and sets are vast, tall, and cavernous, but Bird scales down for spatial intimacy.'^[52]

Mission Impossible 3

Philippa Hawker of The Sydney Morning Herald gave the film three stars out of five and said it is 'ludicrously improbable, but also quite fun.'^[53] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly opined that the movie 'brims with scenes that are exciting and amazing at the same time; they're brought off with such casual aplomb that they're funny, too. .. Ghost Protocol is fast and explosive, but it's also a supremely clever sleight-of-hand thriller. Brad Bird, the animation wizard, .. showing an animator's miraculously precise use of visual space, has a playful, screw-tightening ingenuity all his own.'^[54] Roger Moore of The Charlotte Observer gave the film three out of four stars; said 'Brad Bird passes his audition for a career as a live-action director. And Ghost Protocol more than makes its bones as an argument for why Tom Cruise should continue in this role as long as his knees, and his nerves, hold up.'^[55]

Box office[edit]

Ghost Protocol grossed $209.4 million in North America and $485.3 million in other countries for a worldwide total of $694.7 million.^[56] It is the second highest-grossing film worldwide in the Mission: Impossible series,^[57] and the fifth highest-grossing film of 2011.^[58] It is also the second highest-grossing film worldwide starring Cruise, surpassing War of the Worlds from the top spot.^[59] It was the franchise's highest-grossing film and Cruise's biggest film at the time of release, before being surpassed by Mission: Impossible – Fallout seven years later.

In limited release at 425 locations in North America, it earned $12.8 million over its opening weekend.^[60] After five days of limited release, it expanded to 3,448 theaters on its sixth day and reached #1 at the box office with $8.92 million.^[61] The film reached the top stop at the box office in its second and third weekends with $29.6 million and $29.4 million respectively.^[62][63] Though only 9% of the film's screenings were in IMAX theaters, they accounted for 23% of the film's box office.^[64]

Outside North America, it debuted to a $69.5 million in 42 markets representing approximately 70% of the marketplace. In the United Arab Emirates, it set an opening-weekend record of $2.4 million (since surpassed by Marvel's The Avengers).^[65] In two countries outside the U.S. in which filming took place, its opening weekend gross increased by multiples over the previous installment: in Russia, more than doubling, to $6.08 million^[66] and in India, more than quadrupling, to $4.0 million.^[67] It is the second highest-grossing Mission: Impossible film outside North America.^[68] It topped the box office outside North America for three consecutive weekends (during December 2011)^[69] and five weekends in total (the other two in 2012).^[59] Its highest-grossing markets after North America are China ($102.5 million),^[70] Japan ($69.7 million), and South Korea ($51.1 million).^[71]

Accolades[edit]

Sequel[edit]

In December 2011, Pegg suggested that he and Cruise were interested in returning for a fifth Mission: Impossible film.^[78] Paramount was also reportedly interested in fast-tracking a fifth film due to the fourth film's success.^[79] Bird had stated that he probably would not return to direct a fifth film, but Tom Cruise had been confirmed to return.^[80] It was revealed in August 2013 that Christopher McQuarrie would be the director of Mission: Impossible 5.^[81] Principal photography began in February 2014 in London.^[82] Paramount Pictures released the film on July 31, 2015.^[83] The plot centers around Hunt's IMF team in conflict with 'the Syndicate', an international criminal organization first mentioned at the end of Ghost Protocol.
