Plot

edit

IMFagent Trevor Hanaway is killed inBudapestby assassin Sabine Moreau, who steals Russian nuclear launch codes to sell to a man named "Cobalt." IMF agentEthan Huntis extracted from a Moscow prison, along with an asset named Bogdan, by Hanaway's handler and girlfriend, Jane Carter, and newly-promoted field agent Benji Dunn. The team is ordered to infiltrate theKremlinfor information on Cobalt. While they are inside, Cobalt blows the team's cover, and they escape before a bomb destroys the Kremlin. Ethan is arrested bySVRagent Anatoly Sidorov and is blamed for the bombing.

Ethan escapes and meets with the IMF Secretary in Moscow with analyst William Brandt. Brandt identifies Cobalt as Kurt Hendricks, a strategist seekingnuclear warbetween the U.S. and Russia. They determine that Hendricks bombed the Kremlin to cover his theft of a Russian launch control device. The Secretary explains that the President has initiated the "Ghost Protocol," disavowing the IMF. He secretly orders Ethan to continue pursuing Cobalt before being killed in an ambush by Sidorov's forces. Ethan escapes with Brandt and regroups with Jane and Benji. They plan to infiltrate a meeting between Hendricks' associate, Wistrom, and Moreau at theBurj KhalifainDubai,where Wistrom will buy the stolen launch codes.

The team plans to intercept the codes by faking two meetings: Ethan and Brandt posing as Wistrom and Leonid Lisenker, a cryptographer, to receive the codes from Moreau; Jane poses as Moreau, passing counterfeit codes to the real Wistrom and Lisenker. They are forced to give the actual codes when they discover that Lisenker can immediately authenticate them, relying on radioactiveisotopeson the paper to track Wistrom afterward. Completing the buy, Wistrom double-crosses and murders Lisenker. Having deduced that the buy is a setup, Moreau attempts to flee, but Jane intercepts her. When Moreau attacks Benji while trying to escape, an enraged Jane breaks her promise to Ethan earlier about fighting assets and attacks Moreau. Brandt overhears the gunfire and rushes into the room but fails to stop Jane from killing Moreau. Sidorov attempts but fails to apprehend Ethan, who flees the Burj Khalifa and pursues Wistrom.

As Ethan and Wistrom run into a sandstorm, Wistrom reveals himself to be a masked Hendricks and escapes. Meanwhile, Jane and Benji confront Brandt over the advanced fighting skills that he displayed in the hotel. Brandt admits he resigned as a field agent after failing to protect Julia Meade, Ethan's wife, from a hit. Bogdan takes Ethan to the Fog, an arms dealer, and learns that Hendricks is planning to launch missiles using an old Soviet military satellite. The satellite is owned by an Indian media tycoon, Brij Nath. The Fog sells the same information to Sidorov. InMumbai,Jane seduces Nath and then overpowers him to get the satellite's override code; the team pursues Hendricks and Wistrom to one of Nath's broadcast stations to stop him from sending the codes via the satellite.

Hendricks sends launch orders to a Russiannuclear submarineto fire a missile at San Francisco, while Wistrom sabotages the station system to prevent IMF interference. Benji, Brandt, and Jane attempt to repair the station while Ethan pursues Hendricks. Cornered by Ethan, Hendricks jumps to his death to place the launch device out of reach. After Benji kills Wistrom, Jane reconnects the system, and Ethan retrieves the launch device to disable the missile moments before detonation. Sidorov arrives and realizes that the IMF was innocent of the Kremlin bombing.

InSeattle,Ethan assembles his team for another mission given byLuther Stickell.Brandt confesses to Ethan his failure to protect Julia, but Ethan reveals that she is alive and her death was staged to give her a new identity safely away from him and to let him infiltrate the prison to find Bogdan. A relieved Brandt accepts his mission. Julia arrives and smiles at Ethan from afar before he slips away andreceives an IMF briefing.

Cast

edit

Development

edit

DespiteMission: Impossible III(2006) earning less than its predecessors at the box office, its critical reception was much better than that of its predecessors andParamount Pictureswas keen on developing a fourthMission: Impossiblefilm in the series.[9]In August 2009,Josh AppelbaumandAndré Nemecwere hired to write the film's screenplay.[10]Because of other commitments,J. J. Abramssaid that it was unlikely for him to return as director but made note that he would produce the film alongsideTom Cruise.[11]By March 2010, directorBrad Birdwas in talks of directing the film with Cruise returning to star as Ethan Hunt.[12] The film was originally announced with the working title ofMission: Impossible 4and code-named "Aries"during early production.[13]By August 2010, title considerations did not include theMission: Impossible 4name, and thought was given to omitting the specific term "Mission: Impossible",whichVarietycompared toChristopher Nolan's Batman sequel filmThe Dark Knight.[14]In late October 2010, the title was confirmed asMission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.[15]

Casting

edit

Jeremy Rennerwas announced to have joined the film on 26 August 2010.[16]Deadline Hollywoodreported that Renner's character would be a potential lead for future films if Cruise decided to quit the franchise.[16]Cruise subsequently denied this.[17]On 27 August it was reported thatLauren German,Paula PattonandKristin Kreukwere auditioning for the role of a young female operative.[18]On 1 September Patton was announced to have been cast in the part.[19]Vladimir Mashkovwas announced on 23 September as a Russian agent.[20]On 28 SeptemberJosh Hollowaywas announced as a member of the Impossible Missions Force.[21]On October 7Anil Kapoorwas announced in a supporting role.[22]The same day,Léa Seydouxwas announced as a female villain.[23]

Production

edit

The film was partially shot withIMAXcameras, which made up approximately 30 minutes of the film's run time.[24][25]Bird insisted that certain scenes of the film be shot in IMAX, as opposed to3D,as he felt that the IMAX format offered the viewer more immersion due to its brighter, higher quality image, which is projected on a larger screen, without the need for specialised glasses.[26]Bird also believed that the IMAX format would bring back "a level of showmanship" to the presentation of Hollywood films, which he believes the industry has lost due to its emphasis on screening films inmultiplexesas opposed to grand theaters, and vetoing "first runs" in favor of wider initial releases.[26]

When we were first looking at the image of Tom climbing the Burj, in the long shots we could not only see the traffic in the reflections when he presses down on the glass... But you actually saw the glass warp slightly because of the pressure of his hand. You would never see that in35mm.The fact that the screen fills your vision and is super sharp seems more life-like.

—Brad Birddescribing the advantages of filming in theIMAXformat[27]

Principal photographytook place from October 2010 to March 19, 2011.[28]Filming took place inBudapest,Mumbai,Prague,Moscow,Vancouver,Bangalore,Chennai,andDubai.[29][30][31]Although Cruise appears to befree solo climbingin the film with the help of special gloves, in reality, he was securely attached to the Burj Khalifa at all times by multiple cables.[28]Industrial Light & Magicdigitally erased the cables in post-production. Following Cruise's example, Patton and Seydoux also chose to forgo the use of stunt doubles for their fight scene at the Burj Khalifa where Carter exacts her revenge upon Moreau for Hanaway's death.[28]

Many of the film's interior scenes were shot at Vancouver'sCanadian Motion Picture Park Studios,including a key transition scene in a specially equipped IMF train car and the fight between Hunt and Hendricks in a Mumbai automatedmulti-level parking garage(which was constructed over a six-month period just for the film).[28]TheVancouver Convention Centrewas modified to double as downtownBangalore.[32][33]The film's opening Moscow prison escape scenes were shot on location in a real former prison near Prague.[28]

In the middle of production Cruise brought screenwriterChristopher McQuarrie,with whom he had worked on the 2008 filmValkyrieto rewrite the screenplay.[17][34]McQuarrie described his contribution: "The script had these fantastic sequences in it but there was a mystery in it that was very complicated. What I did was about clarity. The mystery had to be made simpler." McQuarrie did not receive a screenplay credit for his rewrite.

Bird incorporated the trademark "A113",a reference to the classroom he attended while in theCalifornia Institute of the Arts,into the film on two separate occasions. The first is the design print on Hanaway's ring during the flashback sequence, and the second being when Hunt calls in for support and uses the drop callsign, Alpha 1–1–3.[35]

Music

edit
Main article:Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol(soundtrack)

Themusical scoreforMission: Impossible – Ghost Protocolwas composed byMichael Giacchino,who also composed the music for the third film and collaborated with Bird onThe Incredibles(2004) andRatatouille(2007). As in previous installments, the score incorporatesLalo Schifrin's themes from the original television series.[36]"Lalo is an amazing jazz writer. You know you can't write a straight-up jazz score for a film like this but you can certainly hint at it here and there," said Giacchino, explaining the stylistic influence generated by Schifrin's history with the franchise.[37]A soundtrack album was released byVarèse Sarabandeon December 13, 2011.[38]

Marketing

edit

In July 2011, ateaser trailerforGhost Protocolwas released illustrating new shots from the film, one of which being Tom Cruise scaling the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.[39]Moreover, prior to its release, the studio presented IMAX footage of the film to an invitation-only crowd of opinion makers and journalists at central London's BFI IMAX theater. One of the many scenes that were included was a chase scene in a Dubai desert sandstorm.[40]

During November 2011, the Paramount released aFacebookgame of the film in order to promote it. The new game allowed players to choose the roles of IMF agents and assemble teams to embark on a multiplayer journey. Players were also able to garner tickets to the film's U.S. premiere and a hometown screening of the film for 30 friends.[41]

Prior Blu-ray Disc releases such asThe Dark Knight,[47]Tron: Legacy,[48]andTransformers: Revenge of the Fallen[49]have switched between 2.40:1 for regular scenes and 1.78:1 for IMAX scenes.

Critical response

edit

OnRotten Tomatoes,Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocolhas an approval rating of 94% based on 253 reviews and an average rating of 7.7/10. The critical consensus on Rotten Tomatoes reads: "Stylish, fast-paced, and loaded with gripping set pieces, the fourthMission: Impossibleis big-budget popcorn entertainment that really works. "[67]Metacriticassigned the film a score of 73 out of 100 based on 47 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[68]Audiences polled byCinemaScoregave the film an average grade of "A−" on an A+ to F scale.[69]

Roger Ebertof theChicago Sun-Timesgave the film 3.5 out of four stars, saying the film "is a terrific thriller with action sequences that function as a kind of action poetry."[70]Stephen Whitty ofThe Star-Ledgerwrote "The eye-candy—from high-tech gadgets to gorgeous people—has only been ratcheted up. And so has the excitement." He also gave the film 3.5 out of four stars.[71]Giving the film three out of four stars,Wesley MorrisofThe Boston Globesaid "In its way, the movie has old-Hollywood elegance. The scope and sets are vast, tall, and cavernous, but Bird scales down for spatial intimacy."[72]

Philippa Hawker ofThe Sydney Morning Heraldgave the film three stars out of five and said it is "ludicrously improbable, but also quite fun."[73]Owen Gleiberman ofEntertainment Weeklyopined that the movie "brims with scenes that are exciting and amazing at the same time; they're brought off with such casual aplomb that they're funny, too....Ghost Protocolis fast and explosive, but it's also a supremely clever sleight-of-hand thriller. Brad Bird, the animation wizard,... showing an animator's miraculously precise use of visual space, has a playful, screw-tightening ingenuity all his own. "[74]Roger Moore ofThe Charlotte Observergave the film three out of four stars; said "Brad Bird passes his audition for a career as a live-action director. AndGhost Protocolmore than makes its bones as an argument for why Tom Cruise should continue in this role as long as his knees, and his nerves, hold up. "[75]
