Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol is a 2011 American action film, the fourth installment in the Mission: Impossible series. It stars Tom Cruise, who reprises his role of IMF Agent Ethan Hunt, and is director Brad Bird's first live-action film.[5] Ghost Protocol was written by André Nemec and Josh Appelbaum, and produced by Cruise, J. J. Abrams (director of the third film) and Bryan Burk. It is the first Mission: Impossible movie to be partially filmed using IMAX cameras. The film was released in North America by Paramount Pictures on December 16, 2011.

Upon release, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol became a critical and commercial success. The film currently scores a 93% "Certified Fresh" approval rating on review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, making it the best-reviewed entry of the series.[6] It also grossed over $693 million worldwide,[4] becoming the highest-grossing Mission: Impossible film,[7] the 5th highest-grossing film of 2011[8] and the highest-grossing film starring Tom Cruise.[9]

Plot

In Budapest to intercept a courier holding Russian nuclear launch codes, IMF agent Trevor Hanaway is killed by assassin Sabine Moreau, who is working for a person code-named "Cobalt". The other members of Hanaway's team — Jane Carter, and newly promoted field agent Benji Dunn — extract Ethan Hunt and Ethan's source Bogdan from a Moscow prison. Ethan is assigned to lead Jane and Benji in infiltrating secret Moscow Kremlin archives to locate files identifying Cobalt, who is known to be a Russian consultant with a goal of detonating a nuclear bomb. During the mission, someone broadcasts across the IMF frequency, alerting the Russians to Ethan's team. Although Benji and Jane escape, a bomb destroys the Kremlin, and Russian agent Sidorov arrests Ethan, suspecting him as responsible for the attack.

The IMF extracts Ethan 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 IMF. Ethan and his team are to take the blame for the attack, but will be allowed to escape from government custody in order to track down Cobalt. Before Ethan can escape, the IMF's secretary is killed by Russian security forces led by Sidorov, leaving Ethan and intelligence analyst William Brandt to find their own way out. The team identifies Cobalt as Kurt Hendricks, a Swedish-born Russian nuclear strategist who believes the weak must die for the strong to survive, so he plans to start a nuclear war to initiate the next stage of human evolution. Hendricks bombed the Kremlin in order to acquire a Russian nuclear launch-control device; however, he now needs the activation codes from Moreau in order to launch a nuclear missile at the United States.

The exchange between Moreau and Hendricks's right-hand man, Wistrom, is due to take place at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. There, Ethan's team members separately convince Moreau and Wistrom that they have made the exchange with one another. However, Moreau identifies Brandt as an agent. While Ethan chases Wistrom — only to realize that Wistrom is actually Hendricks in disguise, escaping with the codes — Jane detains Moreau. Moreau attempts to kill the inexperienced Benji, and Jane kicks her out a window to her death. Brandt accuses Jane of compromising the mission for revenge against Moreau, but Ethan accuses Brandt of keeping secrets from them, as he has displayed fighting skills atypical of an analyst. While Ethan seeks more information from Bogdan, Brandt admits he was assigned as security detail to Ethan and his wife, Julia, in Croatia. Brandt says that while he was on patrol, Julia was killed by a Serbian hit squad, prompting Ethan to pursue and kill them before he was caught by the Russians and sent to prison.

Bogdan and his arms-dealer cousin inform Ethan that Hendricks will be in Mumbai. Hendricks facilitated the sale of a defunct Soviet military satellite to Indian telecommunications entrepreneur Brij Nath. The satellite could be used to transmit the order to fire a missile. The team heads to India to prevent Hendricks from using the satellite, which can be controlled from computers at Nath's home. While Brandt and Benji infiltrate the server room to deactivate the satellite, Jane gets Nath to reveal the satellite override code. But Hendricks has anticipated Ethan's plan and uses a virus to turn off Nath's servers before sending a signal from a television broadcasting tower to a Russian nuclear submarine in the Pacific to fire at San Francisco. Ethan pursues Hendricks and the launch device while the other team-members attempt to bring the broadcast station back online. Ethan and Hendricks fight over the launch-control device before Hendricks jumps with it to ensure the launch. Benji kills Wistrom, allowing Jane and Brandt to restore power to the station and enabling Ethan to deactivate the missile, while the fatally wounded Hendricks witnesses the failure of his plan just before he dies. Ethan is then confronted by Sidorov, who sees Ethan has stopped the missile, proving the IMF is innocent in the Kremlin bombing.

The team reconvenes weeks later in Seattle. Ethan introduces the team to longtime colleague Luther Stickell and then issues new assignments. Benji and Jane accept, but Brandt refuses. Ethan reveals that Julia's death was staged, as he knew he could not protect her, and used her death as a pretext to infiltrate the prison, where he believed he would find men associated with Cobalt. Relieved of guilt, Brandt accepts his mission while Ethan watches Julia from afar. She spots him, and they share a smile before he embarks on his next mission.

Production

"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 in 35mm. The fact that the screen fills your vision and is super sharp seems more life-like."
 — Brad Bird describing the advantages of filming in the IMAX format.[12]

The film was originally announced with a working name of Mission: Impossible 4, and codenamed "Aries" during early production.[13] By August 2010, title considerations did not include the Mission: Impossible 4 name, and thought was given to omitting the specific term "Mission: Impossible", which Variety compared to Christopher Nolan's Batman sequel film, titled simply The Dark Knight.[14]

The film was partially shot with IMAX cameras, which made up approximately 30 minutes of the film's runtime.[15][16] Bird insisted that certain scenes of the film be shot in IMAX, as opposed to 3D, 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.[17] Bird also believed that 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 in multiplexes as opposed to grand theaters, and vetoing "first runs" in favor of wider initial releases.[17]

Principal photography took place from October 2010 to March 2011.[2] Filming took place in Dubai, Prague, Moscow, Mumbai, Bangalore and Vancouver.[18][19][20] Tom Cruise performed a sequence where Ethan Hunt scales the outside of the Burj Khalifa tower, which is the tallest building in the world, without the use of a stunt double.[21] Although Cruise appears to be free solo climbing in the film with the help of special gloves, in reality he was securely attached to the Burj Khalifa at all times by multiple cables.[2] The cables were then digitally erased in post-production by Industrial Light & Magic. 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.[2]

Many of the film's interior scenes were shot at the Canadian Motion Picture Park in Vancouver, including a key transition scene in a specially equipped IMF train car and the battle between Hunt and Hendricks in a Mumbai automated multi-level parking garage (which was constructed over a six-month period just for the film).[2] The film's climax scene was shot in the Sun TV office, Bengaluru, India.[22] However, the film's opening Moscow prison escape scenes were shot on location in a real former prison near Prague.[2] The film also features a BMW i8 concept car.[23][24][25]

Marketing

Tom Cruise along with Anil Kapoor at the Taj Mahal for the film promotion.

In July 2011, a teaser trailer for Ghost Protocol was released illustrating new shots from the movie, one of which being Tom Cruise scaling the world's tallest building in Dubai, the Burj Khalifa building.[26] Moreover; prior to its release, the studio presented IMAX footage of the film to invitation-only crowd of opinion makers and journalists at the BFI IMAX theater in central London. One of the many scenes that were included was a chase scene in a Dubai desert sandstorm.[27]

During November 2011, Paramount released a Facebook game 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 U.S. premiere of the film and a hometown screening of the movie for 30 friends.[28]

Soundtrack

The score for the film was composed by Michael Giacchino, his second for the franchise and his third collaboration with Bird following The Incredibles and Ratatouille. In his score, he borrows the leitmotif composed by Danny Elfman for the score of the first film. The soundtrack was released by Varèse Sarabande on January 10, 2012.[29]

Release

Following the world premiere in Dubai on December 7, 2011,[30] the film was released in IMAX and other large-format theaters in the U.S. on December 16, 2011,[31] with general release on December 21, 2011.

Critical reception

The film has received wide critical acclaim, scoring a 93% "Certifed Fresh" approval rating on review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, making it the best-reviewed entry of the series. The site's critical consensus is, "Stylish, fast-paced, and loaded with gripping set pieces, the fourth Mission: Impossible is big-budget popcorn entertainment that really works."[6] Metacritic gives the film a score of 73 based on 38 reviews.[32]

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the 3.5/4, saying the film "is a terrific thriller with action sequences that function as a kind of action poetry".[33]

Philippa Hawker of The Sydney Morning Herald gave the film three stars out of five, and said it is "ludicrously improbable, but also quite fun."[11]

As Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly analyzed, 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 Protocol is 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."[34]

Box office

Ghost Protocol grossed $209,397,903 in North America and $483,656,168 in other countries, for a worldwide total of $693,054,071.[35] It is the highest-grossing film worldwide in the Mission: Impossible series,[7] and the 5th highest-grossing film of 2011.[8] It is also the highest-grossing movie worldwide starring Tom Cruise, eclipsing War of the Worlds from the top spot.[9]

In limited release at 425 locations in North America, it earned $12.8 million over its opening weekend.[36] After five days of limited release, on its sixth day it expanded to 3,448 theaters and reached first place at the box office with $8.92 million.[37] The film reached the #1 spot at the box office in its second and third weekends with $29.6 million and $29.4 million respectively.[38][39] Though only 9% of the film's screenings were in IMAX theaters, they accounted for 23% of the film's box office.[40]

Outside North America, it debuted to a $69.5 million in 42 markets representing approximately 70% of the marketplace. In the United Arab Emirates, it set an opening-weekend record of $2.4 million. In two countries outside the U.S. in which filming took place, its opening weekend gross increased by multiples over the previous instalment: in Russia, more than doubling, to $6.08 million[41] and in India, more than quadrupling, to $4.0 million.[42] It is the highest-grossing Mission: Impossible film outside North America.[43] It topped the box office outside North America for three consecutive weekends (during December 2011)[44] and five weekends in total (the other two in 2012).[9] Its highest-grossing markets after North America are China ($102.5 million),[45] Japan ($69.7 million) and South Korea ($51.1 million).[46]
