Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol

Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol is a 2011 action spy film, and is the fourth installment in the Mission: Impossible series. The film was written by André Nemec and is the first Mission: Impossible movie to be partially filmed using IMAX cameras.

On assignment in Budapest to intercept a courier working for a person of interest code-named "Cobalt", IMF agent Trevor Hanaway is killed by assassin Sabine Moreau. Hanaway's team leader, Jane Carter, and newly promoted field agent Benji Dunn extract Ethan Hunt and Hunt's source Bogdan from a Moscow prison. Hunt is recruited to lead Carter and Dunn to infiltrate the secret Moscow Kremlin archives and locate files identifying Cobalt. During the mission, someone broadcasts across the IMF frequency, alerting the Russians to Hunt's team. The IMF extracts Hunt from Moscow. The Russians have called the attack an undeclared act of war, and the US president activates "Ghost Protocol", a black operation contingency that disavows the entire IMF. Hunt and his team are to take the blame for the attack, but they will be allowed to escape from government custody so that they may track down Cobalt. Before Hunt can escape, the IMF's secretary is killed by Russian security forces led by Sidirov, leaving Hunt and intelligence analyst William Brandt to find their own way out.

The film is directed by Brad Bird starring Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt reprising his role as IMF Agent Ethan Hunt, Paula Patton as Jane Carter, Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn, Jeremy Renner as William Brandt, Michael Nyqvist as Kurt Hendricks, Vladimir Mashkov as Anatoly Sidorov and Anil Kapoor as Brij Nath.
