Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation is the fifth instalment in the Tom Cruise starring franchise that debuted back in 1996. Director Christopher McQuarrie, who worked with Cruise on Jack Reacher, becomes the fifth filmmaker to helm one of the series’ films. Starring alongside Cruise are Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames, Sean Harris, and Alec Baldwin.
The deep-cover espionage agency known as the IMF has been under fire, but now it faces total disbandment, even as the most harrowing threat yet known to the free world lies in the shadows. That threat is The Syndicate, an impenetrable, exquisitely-trained group of renegade spies who have left behind their countries for an agenda all their own – an agenda intent on destabilizing the very foundations of civilization. The Syndicate has long been rumored to be just a wild-eyed myth among spies. But Ethan Hunt has just uncovered the unwelcome reality that this rogue nation is not only real but a ticking time bomb about to detonate worldwide if he doesn’t act. The CIA doesn’t buy it. His own team is under threat. Yet, Ethan will never turn his back on the highest stakes.
Cruise, who also serves as producer on the series, loves to raise the bar for each successive Mission instalment. “Each time I think ‘I’ve seen it all’ and I’ve been through every action challenge a film can have, the next film introduces new challenges of every kind — because we’re constantly pushing not only the action sequences, but the storytelling and characters.”
Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation is rated PG.
