Plot.

After preventing a military cargo plane from transporting nerve gas sold to terrorists, IMF Agent Ethan Hunt is determined to prove the existence of the Syndicate, a consortium of rogue government agents from various different intelligence agencies the CIA does not believe exists. Hunt is captured by the Syndicate at a record shop in London. In Washington D.C., the CIA Director Alan Hunley convinces the Senate committee to dissolve and assimilate the IMF, currently without a secretary in charge, into the CIA due to its destructive methods and other misconduct, Hunt escapes a torture chamber led by Syndicate operative Janik “Bone Doctor” Vinter with the help of disavowed MI6 Agent turned Syndicate operative Ilsa Faust. Without IMF support, Hunt follows his only lead: a blond man in glasses later identified as former MI6 agent Solomon Lane. Six months later, Hunt is currently a fugitive living in Paris, having to lure a CIA Special Activites Division unit to a decoy safe house in Havana. At the Vienna State Opera, the Syndicate kills the Austrian Chancellor despite efforts to prevent it from Hunt’s ex-colleague Benji Dunn.

Faust willingly drops hints of Lane’s plan to Hunt before leaving. Dunn learns the Syndicate is working against “the old world order” by committing several terrorist acts, but stays with Hunt instead of reporting to the CIA. Hunt, blamed for the Chancellor’s death, is pursued by the Special Activities Division. Ex-IMF Agent turned CIA Agent William Brandt contacts ex-IMF Agent Luther Stickell to find Hunt before the CIA does. Stickell tracks Hunt, Dunn, and Faust to Casablanca, where the trio break into and acquire a secret Syndicate file from a secure building. Faust flees with the data and goes to London to use it, but it is discreetly wiped by her handler, MI6 Chief Atlee. Meanwhile, Hunt learns that the data is an encrypted British government virtual red box that requires the Prime Minister’s biometrics to unlock it. They reach London to confront Faust, where Lane’s men abduct Dunn, and use Dunn and Faust to blackmail Hunt into decrypting and delivering the data to them. Despite Brandt’s protests, Hunt agrees to do so.

As part of Hunt’s plan, Brandt reveals their location to Hunley. Hunley, Brandt, and Atlee meet the PM in Oxford, who confirms that the Syndicate was a project proposed by Atlee to recruit former agents from other nations, supply them with a new identity, and use them to perform missions without oversight, which the PM rejected. Atlee then reveals himself as Hunt in a mask and secures the PM’s biometrics, allowing Stickell to decrypt the file. When the real Atlee arrives, Hunt forces him to admit that he began the Syndicate without permission and that he has been covering up its existence after Lane hijacked the project and went rogue, turning the Syndicate against him and MI6. Upon discovering the file contains access to £2.4 billion in various bank accounts, serving as the Syndicate’s would-be operating budget, Hunt destroys the data.

Pre-production.

Paramount Pictures announced in August 2013 that Christopher McQuarrie would direct the fifth Mission: Impossible film, from a script by Drew Pearce, with Tom Cruise reprising his role as Ethan Hunt. TC Productions and Bad Robot would produce, and Skydance Productions, who served as co-financers and executive producers of the latest installment, will work closely with the team in the development and production process.”[ On November 14, 2013, Paramount announced a release date of December 25, 2015. The same month, Simon Pegg confirmed he would reprise his role as Benji.

Filming.

Principal photography began in August 2014. On August 21, the production released its first photos from the set in Vienna, Austria. In August actors Cruise and Pegg, along with director Christopher McQuarrie, were in Vienna, at the Metro and on the roof-top of Vienna State Opera. After finishing one-and-a-half weeks of filming in Austria, on August 30, Cruise arrived in the Moroccan capital city of Rabat for filming more scenes. Here the Marrakesh Highway was closed for fourteen days (August 30–September 12). Other filming locations in Morocco include Agadir, Rabat and Casablanca.

To pull off this particular stunt, the production team were given a limited period of only 48 hours. The plane took off and landed 8 times before they had the perfect shot. On November 9, filming began on Southampton Water, and Fawley Power Station. Tom Cruise trained under diving specialist Kirk Krack to be able to hold his breath for three minutes to perform an underwater sequence which was filmed in a single long take without any edits (though the scene in the movie was cut with several breaks, giving the impression for the scene having several takes).

Release.

Paramount had originally scheduled the film for a December 25, 2015 release. On January 26, 2015, Paramount advanced the release date to July 31, 2015. The main reason cited by The Hollywood Reporter was to avoid competition with two other 2015 films, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Spectre. In the United States and Canada, it was released in the Dolby Vision format in Dolby Cinema, the first-ever time for Paramount. On February 13, 2015, Paramount and IMAX Corporation announced that they would digitally remaster the film into the IMAX format and release it in IMAX theaters worldwide on the scheduled date. The film was completed at 2:00AM on July 18, 2015, less than two weeks before its release date. The film was officially released in North America on July 31, 2015.

The comic is written by the film’s writer and director Christopher McQuarrie and illustrated by Lazarus artist Owen Freeman. Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation grossed $195 million in the U.S. and Canada, and $487.7 million in other countries, for a worldwide total of $682.7 million. Although Rogue Nation was projected to become the highest-grossing Mission: Impossible film and the biggest movie for Cruise, it apparently fell short of eclipsing Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol’s final gross to become the third-highest-grossing Mission:
