SUMMARY
Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is tasked with recovering a deadly genetically-engineered virus called Chimera before it falls into the wrong hands. A rogue IMF agent, Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott), has stolen the virus and plans to unleash it to profit from its antidote, Bellerophon. Ethan recruits professional thief Nyah Nordoff-Hall (Thandiwe Newton), who has a past with Ambrose, to help infiltrate his operation. The mission leads to a high-stakes chase in Australia, with intense shootouts, hand-to-hand combat, and dramatic motorcycle stunts.
