While Tom Cruise is important to this film, the stunts are the real star. The production values and the increasingly outrageous stunts are about as good as can be. The plot is preposterous and unwieldy, but not as dumb as a FAST AND FURIOUS film. For such a thin plot, the film's length seems unnecessary. The main villain is a malevolent computer, which could be an ominous threat, but it also deprives the film of a larger-than-life human adversary for Cruise's larger-than-life Ethan Hunt.
Ethan Hunt and the IMF team must track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity if it falls into the wrong hands. With control of the future and the fate of the world at stake, a deadly race around the globe begins. Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than the mission -- not even the lives of those he cares about most.
