Blamed for a terrorist attack on the Kremlin, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and the entire IMF agency are disavowed by the U.S. government, while the president initiates the Ghost Protocol. Forced to go "off the grid" -- left without resources or backup -- Hunt must somehow clear the agency's name and prevent another attack. Complicating matters even more, Ethan must undertake the impossible mission with a group of fellow IMF fugitives whose actual motives are suspect.

Keith & the Movies

The action scenes are huge and sometimes jaw-dropping, and Bird’s visual style makes it easy to overlook the sheer unbelievability of some of the sequences. The Dubai skyscraper scene alone is worth the ticket price.

Rated: 4/5

Tony P Had better action scenes and story, but the ending was just super weak! Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review Charles C Moving at a break neck pace, with awesome action scenes, a great dynamic between the team and death defying stunts makes this one the most memorable films in this franchise Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review First name L A "ticking clock" thriller that delivers on all fronts. Tom Cruise is in his element doesn't disappoint. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/09/24 Full Review alan g Another great installment the franchise. Tom Cruise is very good. Patton is beautiful. Blowing up the Kremlin is a bit much but it works. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Rana fareed ur rehman just watch it once, believe me, it is one of the best movies made in 2011 and the stunts by Tom are awesome. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Adi 1 A great action film which establishes its characters well in the 1st half and then shows off some perfectly staged action set-pieces in the second half. The ending packs in an emotional punch which is heartwarming. Overall, a great entry in a great franchise. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
