action

In Budapest , the IMF agent Trevor Hanaway was ordered to intercept a messenger from a terrorist operating under the cover name Cobalt . He is able to take the papers from the messenger, but is killed shortly afterwards by the hit man Sabine Moreau.

Hanaway's team leader, Jane Carter, and Benji Dunn, who has recently been transferred to the field, free Ethan Hunt and his informant Bogdan from a Moscow prison. Hunt leads Carter and Dunn to the Russian capital on an undercover assignment to look for files in the archives of the Moscow Kremlin that the IMF could use to identify Cobalt . Their mission is compromised by an unapproved radio message over an IMF frequency, causing the Russian security forces to become aware of Hunt's team. Hunt, Dunn and Carter manage to escape from the Kremlin, which is immediately destroyed by a bomb attack. Hunt, who wakes up tied to a bed in a Moscow hospital, is accused by a Russian agent of carrying out the attack.

The Russian government classifies the attack as an act of war, forcing the United States to initiate the secret Phantom Protocol and deny any knowledge of the activities of the IMF. Meanwhile, Hunt escapes the hospital. He meets the IMF boss known as the “secretary”, who gives him the opportunity to escape. Before Hunt can escape, the "secretary" and his driver are killed by Russian special forces. Hunt and the security analyst William Brandt, who is also in the car, are able to flee.

The team can identify Cobalt as the Swedish-born Russian Kurt Hendricks. The nuclear weapons strategist wants to lead humanity into nuclear war in order to reach the next level of evolution. Before his bomb attack on the Kremlin, Hendricks captured a Russian atomic case and only needs the activation codes that have been in the hands of the hit man Moreau since the Budapest mission.

Hendricks' assistant Wistrom is said to have exchanged Moreau's codes for diamonds at a meeting at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Hunt and his team prepare the rooms so that Moreau and Wistrom do not speak to each other, but instead to the IMF agents. The exchange succeeds at first, but Moreau notices the covert action and is pushed out of a broken window and killed during a fight with Carter. Wistrom, who is actually Hendricks in disguise, is able to escape with the codes after a long chase with Ethan Hunt in a sandstorm .

Brandt accuses Carter of only killing Moreau in revenge for Hanaway and of endangering the mission with her personal feelings of revenge. There is an argument between Hunt and Brandt, who seems to be more than a simple analyst. While Hunt searches for more information about his former inmate Bogdan, Brandt admits to the rest of the team that he was entrusted with the protection of Hunt and his wife Julia on a previous mission. He thinks he failed, which is why Julia died. Ethan was dumped by the IMF following an unauthorized murder following the death of his wife and ended up in prison in Moscow. Carter realizes the parallel between herself and Hunt and realizes that Hunt had committed the murder in revenge for the death of Julia and reflects on her own feelings of revenge.

Hunt has since learned from Bogdan's cousin that Hendricks is buying a Soviet satellite in Mumbai, India from entrepreneur Brij Nath to coordinate the launch of the rocket.

Brandt and Dunn break into the server room and Carter forces Nath to reveal important abort codes for the satellite. However, Hendricks can take the servers offline and has a nuclear submarine fire a missile at San Francisco . Hunt follows Hendricks, and the rest of the team have to get the server back online. After a long fight with Hunt, Hendricks jumps with the atomic suitcase from a parking garage. He accepts his own death in order to get the suitcase out of Hunt's reach. Hunt can only deactivate the missile at the last second. To do this, while sitting in the car, he falls head-on about 30 meters to the suitcase and prevents the airbag triggered in the event of serious injuries. The defused nuclear missile just brushes against the tip of the Transamerica Pyramid and then sinks into the Bay of San Francisco . The Russian agent Sidorov - who has been following Hunt since the attack in Moscow - meets Hunt shortly afterwards and is now convinced of his innocence.

At a team meeting in Seattle a few weeks after the events, the Hunt team receives new assignments. Brandt initially rejects his and only agrees after Hunt admits that Julia's death was merely staged. This was the only way he could get into Moscow prison and free Bogdan.

Shortly afterwards, Hunt observed his wife Julia from a distance. When she sees him, she gives him a smile. Hunt then receives his next assignment and then disappears in a cloud of steam.

History and filming

BMW Concept Vision Efficient Dynamics

After Paramount Pictures separated from Tom Cruise in 2006 after long-term collaboration due to the unsatisfactory success of the third film in the series, Mission: Impossible III , and Brad Pitt was sometimes sought to succeed him, a new collaboration for a fourth part was in early 2010 announced.

Filming began on September 29, 2010 and ended on March 19, 2011. The Moscow scenes of the film were partly shot in Prague . Telephone booths, restaurants and other objects were faithfully reproduced for this purpose. Prague Central Station , Prague Castle and certain streets were used as filming locations . Among other things, the climbing recordings on the Burj Khalifa were made in Dubai , which Tom Cruise himself played without a stuntman. The ropes that secured him at all times were retouched. Further recordings took place in Budapest , Moscow, Mumbai , Bangalore , Vancouver , Burnaby and Santa Clarita .

The car used in the Mumbai scenes of the film is the Concept Vision Efficient Dynamics from BMW .

Reviews

The film received mostly positive reviews, earning a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 247 reviews. At Metacritic , a Metascore of 73, based on 47 reviews, could be achieved. Together with the fifth part, it is the best-rated film in the series to date.

"The spectacular action thriller does not always follow a harmonious build-up of tension, but entertains effectively as a brilliant, sometimes amusing self-ironic fireworks display of excellently staged action and effects scenes."

“If that's not an impossible mission: A director who's only made animated films, an action saga that is past its prime, and Tom Cruise, the most hated Hollywood star. Nevertheless, the fourth part of the 'Mission: Impossible' series is terrific. "

“Spectacular break-ins, breakneck stunts, Cruise's coolness en masse - everything as usual? Yes, but 'M: I-4' is the best part so far: […] Brad Bird has added an important element to the series that stands for explosive action: fun. Simon Pegg provides a lot of additional fun with dry humor. And Hunt works with various funny high-tech gadgets that even 007 would envy him for. Not only because of this: Bond has to make an effort if he wants to top this mission. "

"Old-school agent action with outstanding stunts."

Awards

The film, its actors and the film crew were nominated for numerous film awards in 2012, including the Saturn Awards , Kids' Choice Awards , MTV Movie Awards , Rembrandt Awards , Teen Choice Awards , Visual Effects Society Awards and the Taurus Awards 2012 .
