Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol

Ethan Hunt and his team are blamed for a bombing at the Kremlin, and the American government responds by disavowing the IMF entirely, leaving its agents without official support. Cut off and hunted, Hunt sets out to clear his organisation's name and stop the people behind a planned attack. He works alongside a small group whose loyalties and personal reasons he does not fully understand.

Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol is a 2011 action adventure directed by Brad Bird, his fifth feature after The Iron Giant, The Incredibles, Jack-Jack Attack and Ratatouille, and his first live-action film. The screenplay is by Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec, with Tom Cruise, J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk producing. Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt, joined by Paula Patton, Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner, Michael Nyqvist and Vladimir Mashkov among a cast of 59 credited performers; 136 crew members are credited.

Made for 145 million USD, the film took 695 million USD worldwide, a strong return that reflects the franchise's broad draw, particularly since it followed Bird's run of animated successes. On IMDb it holds 7.4/10 from 563,000 votes, and on TMDB 7.1/10 from 11,016 votes, showing consistent audience approval. Its critics' rating of 7.7/10 from 246 reviews is slightly higher than either audience figure, indicating a generally favourable press reception.
