Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011)
No plan. No backup. No choice.
Ethan Hunt and his team are racing against time to track down a dangerous terrorist named Hendricks, who has gained access to Russian nuclear launch codes and is planning a strike on the United States. An attempt to stop him ends in an explosion causing severe destruction to the Kremlin and the IMF to be implicated in the bombing, forcing the President to disavow them. No longer being aided by the government, Ethan and his team chase Hendricks around the globe, although they might still be too late to stop a disaster.

What kind of watch this is
Brad Bird directs this 133-minute thriller, where the IMF is disavowed after a botched operation destroys the Kremlin. Ethan Hunt and his team are suddenly unaffiliated, hunted by their own government while chasing a terrorist with nuclear codes. The tagline is blunt: no plan, no backup, no choice. It is a film that trusts its audience to keep up with the logistics of a global chase. The stunts are practical, the stakes are absurd, and the pacing never blinks. It is the kind of movie that asks you to suspend disbelief for a few hours, then rewards you with momentum that does not care about plausibility.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes sits at 93% as of August 2024, with an average review score of 7.7 out of 10. Metacritic lands on 73 out of 100, a score it labels generally favorable. Roger Ebert called the action sequences "a kind of action poetry." Wesley Morris noted the film possesses "old-Hollywood elegance." Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave it an A−.
How it did with audiences
It cost $145 million and took in $695 million worldwide, a margin that keeps the studio accountants very happy. The TMDB user score sits at 7.1. It finished as the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2011, a year that was rather crowded with blockbusters. The numbers suggest audiences wanted to see how far they could push a man off a building, and they did.
