Short description
Ethan and team take on their most impossible mission yet—eradicating 'The Syndicate', an International and highly-skilled rogue organization committed to destroying the IMF.
What's left behind the scenes
- Practically all the stunts and fight scenes in the film were performed by Tom Cruise himself. The actor refused to use stunt doubles.
- Ethan Hunt addresses the Austrian Chancellor as the head of state. In reality, the Chancellor is the head of government, and the head of state in Austria is the President.
- An Arri Alexa 65 6.5K camera was used to film the underwater scenes.
- In the final scene, when Lane is in the glass cube, after the shots are fired at the glass, neither bullets nor casings are visible. Additionally, cracks appear and disappear on the glass.
- After more than a month of filming in Austria and Morocco, the crew moved to London on September 28th. On October 7th, a trailer transporting a damaged BMW M3 was spotted leaving the Moroccan filming locations. On October 10th, Cruise and his stunt double, Wade Eastwood, were seen filming some scenes in Monaco. The filming of the scene featuring Ethan Hunt fighting aboard a flying Airbus A400M took place at RAF Wittering in Cambridgeshire. Filming began in Southampton on November 9th. On December 2nd, 2014, Cruise narrowly avoided being hit by a double-decker bus during filming in London, but it passed by without incident. According to confirmation from the director, filming wrapped on March 12th, 2015.
- The A400 aircraft used in the film was built in Seville (Spain) and transported to the UK specifically for filming. Interestingly, the actor who played the pilot of this aircraft, Mateo Rufino, is also from that city.
- Tom Cruise himself performed the scene where his character grabs onto the door of a departing plane from the outside and is lifted into the air with it. No computer graphics were used in this scene. The actor was filmed by a camera mounted on the left wing of the aircraft. Special lenses were made to protect the actor's eyes from small particles. Eight takes were required to film this scene, with the plane ascending to an altitude of approximately 1.5 km.
- During filming, Tom Cruise sustained various injuries six times.
- Rebecca Ferguson bears a resemblance to Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman. Her character in this film is named Ilsa Faust, a reference to Bergman's character, Ilsa Lund, from "Casablanca" (1942).
- In early drafts of the script, in the previous installment, "Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol," Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) was supposed to step down from field work and head up the IMF team. Christopher McQuarrie, brought in for script revisions, removed this plot point. Therefore, in "Rogue Nation," Ethan Hunt remains the main character, and Alec Baldwin's character takes on the role of team leader.
- The film's subtitle ("Rogue Nation" – "Tribe of Outcasts") caused a minor conflict between Paramount Studios and Disney Studios, which simultaneously announced the film "Star Wars: Rogue One" (2016). As a result, the studios reached an agreement that Disney would not advertise its film until Paramount's film was released.
- During the motorcycle chase scene, when Ethan and Benji are in the car, but before Ethan asks about the seatbelt, the seatbelt on Benji is sometimes fastened and sometimes unfastened in previous shots.
- Producers initially wanted Brad Bird to direct the film, but he declined, choosing to direct "Tomorrowland" (2015). Ultimately, at Tom Cruise’s request, producers invited Christopher McQuarrie to take his place.
- Simon Pegg and Tom Cruise performed all their driving stunts themselves.
- Benedict Cumberbatch was the first actor considered for the role of the villain.
- Tom Cruise was originally slated to play Napoleon Solo in "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." (2015), but ultimately chose to star in "Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation" (2015).
- When Ethan answers Lane's call, he uses the phone correctly. However, during their conversation, it can be noticed that he is holding the phone upside down. This is visible by the speaker, which on this phone model (Lumia 930) is located on the lower part of the back panel.
- Around the 48th minute of the film, when Luther is on the roof, it can be seen that the helicopter's tail rotor is not spinning, even though the helicopter is taking off at that moment.
- The main villain of the film, being locked in a cube made of bulletproof glass, tries to shoot the glass with a pistol. In real life, in such a confined space, he would have been injured by a ricochet.
- Paula Patton and Maggie Q were originally slated to reprise their roles from "Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol" (2011) and "Mission: Impossible III" (2006), but both actresses left the project due to scheduling conflicts.
- When the BMW flies through the gates, it can be noticed that they open before the car crashes into them.
- The filmmakers wanted to cast Jessica Chastain in the lead female role, but she refused because she was unhappy with the prospect of spending approximately 6 months preparing for the role. This is the second time Chastain has turned down a film with Tom Cruise. The first time was when she declined to appear in "Oblivion" (2013).
- At the beginning of the film, events unfold in Minsk. Ethan Hunt chases a military aircraft and then hangs onto its door as it takes off. As the plane gains altitude, a road can be seen in the distance, and the movement of the cars indicates that there is left-hand traffic. In Belarus, traffic is on the right.
- At the beginning of the film, when Ethan tries to unlock the handcuffs, he can't reach the lock with the key. He could easily have avoided reaching around the pipe and simply brought his hands back behind it to calmly unlock the handcuffs.
