Plot
Ethan Hunt, a retired IMF super-agent who trains new recruits while trying to settle down with his fiancée Julia Meade, gets approached by a fellow IMF agent John Musgrave for a mission to rescue one of Hunt’s past protégés, Lindsay Farris who was captured when investigating Owen Davian, an arms dealer.
On their flight back to US, Ethan tries everything to get Davian to answer about Rabbit’s Foot but he remains tight-lipped. Ethan later learns that Brassel has been working with Davian all along.
When taking Davian across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, the convoy is attacked and Davian escapes only to kidnap Julia again from where she was kept. He gives Hunt, 48 hours to recover Rabbit’s Foot or he will end Julia’s life.
When interrogating Musgrave, Hunt finds out that the Rabbit’s foot is in Shanghai, China, where he travels and successfully acquires it.
He tried to bring it to Davian but he believed it was fake, so he shoots Julia and leaves. Musgrave later reveals that he was the mole who arranged for Davian to acquire the precious Rabbit’s Foot and then sell it to a terrorist group.
Once Musgrave lets his guard down, Hunt manages to knock him unconscious and frees himself. He tracks Julia and encounters Davian who tries to trigger the micro-explosive in the Hunt’s head.
Before Davian can kill Hunt, Hunt kills him and then deactivates the explosive. He teaches Julia to defend herself by using a gun, which she later uses to kill a henchman and Musgrave.
Verdict
She revives Ethan, who explains his true career to her. Back in the U.S., Ethan Hunt receives praise for his work before he leaves for his Honeymoon, still wondering what really is this Rabbit’s Foot?
Filled with incredible and breathtaking action scenes, Tom Cruise truly stands apart from the rest of Hollywood’s top brass by performing most of the stunts in this flick all by himself.
