== Plot == |
||
− | After intercepting a consignment of VX nerve gas bound for Syria from Belarus, IMF agent Ethan Hunt is convinced that he can prove the existence of the Syndicate, an international criminal consortium of rogue agents and trained killers. Reporting into an IMF substation in London to receive his orders, the Syndicate reveal their existence to Hunt, having infiltrated the station to subdue him. Hunt is rescued by disavowed British agent Ilsa Faust, a Syndicate operative who offers no explanation for her actions. With their existence confirmed, Hunt begins following his only lead: a blond man in glasses who oversaw his capture. |
||

||
− | Meanwhile, CIA director Alan Hunley and IMF agent William Brandt are summoned before a Senate oversight committee to justify the continued existence of the IMF. Citing their reckless behaviour and near-miss in San Francisco during the events of ''Ghost Protocol'', Hunley demands that the IMF be disbanded and absorbed into the CIA. With Brandt unable to reveal operational details without permission from the Secretary of Defence, the committee side with Hunley, whose first act is to name Hunt as the CIA's most-wanted man. |
||
+ | In Belarus, [[Ethan Hunt]] and his team are trying to intercept a package of radioactive VX nerve gas from being delivered to Damascus by[[The Syndicate| Syndicate]] operatives via an A400M plane. While [[Benji Dunn|Benji]] is attempting to hack into the plane's systems, he finds they are encrypted. Hunt sprints onto the plane's wing and ends up clinging onto the outer door. Dunn is finally able to open the right door, and even though the A400M crew tries to stop Hunt, Hunt parachutes out of the plane with the material and zooms into the opening credits. |

− | Six months later, Hunt leads a CIA team to an empty safehouse as a means of passing information on the Syndicate to his friend, intelligence analyst Benji Dunn. Suspicious of Hunley's actions and believing he will kill Hunt at the first opportunity, Brandt recruits former agent Luther Stickell to discreetly find Hunt, using a likeness of Ilsa found at the safehouse. Hunt arranges for Dunn to attend an opera in Vienna, recruiting him to take part in a covert mission to locate the man in glasses. Realising that the Syndicate plans to assassinate the Chancellor of Austria at the opera, Hunt intervenes by shooting him before the Syndicate can. Escaping with Ilsa, one of the intended shooters, he is powerless to prevent the Chancellor from being killed by a car bomb put in place as a redundancy. |

Believing it to be a ledger containing the names of all Syndicate agents, the trio secure it before Ilsa betrays Hunt and Dunn taking the list herself. Hunt chases after her, first on a car and then on a motorbike, but is unsucsessful in retrieving the list. She returns to London, passing the file on to her handler, Attlee. However, Attlee discreetly erases the file, forcing Ilsa to return to the Syndicate and prove her loyalty to its leader, Solomon Lane, who Hunt knows as the man in the glasses. However, Dunn had made a copy of the file, but it is impossible to access the file (which is a digital red-box, a security measure used by the British government to transport state secrets) without the biometrics of the Prime Minister himself. |

However, the end of the recording reveals the mission deliverers are the Syndicate. Hunt looks out and sees a man in glasses holding the station operative at gunpoint. The man in glasses fires and kills the girl instantly, and Hunt's room is gassed.
Hunt wakes up and realizes he's tied to a pole. Janik Vinter tortures him, but Syndicate operative Ilsa Faust helps Ethan escape and much to the dismay of the other operatives, the escape is successful.
Washington, D.C.
In America, Brandt is brought before a committee that includes Alan Hunley. Hunley believes that the IMF's results are only luck, and their destructive methods have caused various misconducts (despite the IMF's innocence of the Kremlin bombing having already been proven and their close call in San Francisco having averted nuclear war), and attempts to shut down the IMF. Since the Secretary was killed by Anatoly Sidorov, Brandt cannot comment and the shutdown is successful. Hunley orders Hunt to be captured as he is now a wanted man.
Five months later, with the help of his assistant Lauren, Hunley interrogates Dunn but cannot determine that he knows Hunt's location. Hunt sends Dunn some tickets to catch a performance of Turandot in Vienna.
Vienna
Dunn arrives in Vienna and is given gadgets and instructions by Hunt. They arrive at the Vienna State Opera, where the Chancellor of Austria is also attending a performance of Turandot. Hunt spots Ilsa, but decides to go after Kagan, the second Syndicate operative. Hunt fights Kagan even as Benji spots Richter, the third Syndicate assassin, in the lighting booth. Benji goes to fight Richter even as Hunt sends Kagan falling to his death. Hunt fires at the Chancellor's shoulder, Richter is shot by Ilsa, and Hunt and Ilsa escape only to see the Chancellor killed by a bomb placed in his car as 'insurance'. Dunn picks them both up, but Ilsa leaves them - after dropping hints of the Syndicate's plan - in an attempt to maintain her cover. Hunt explains that the Syndicate consists entirely of disavowed operatives from around the world, and are responsible for the assassinations and disappearances of many world leaders and the subsequent civil wars.
Casablanca
Ilsa helps Hunt break into the Syndicate's Moroccan base to retrieve a ledger belonging to the Syndicate. They retrieve the ledger, but Ilsa knocks out Benji and rides off with the ledger, evading both Hunt and the Syndicate. After an intense motorcycle chase, Ilsa escapes with the ledger, much to Hunt's dismay. However, Dunn had made a copy of the file, but it is impossible to access the file (which is a digital red-box, a security measure used by the British government to transport state secrets) without the biometrics of the Prime Minister himself; they realise that Lane intends to capture the PM.
London
Ilsa returns to London, passing the file on to her handler, Atlee. Here it is revealed she is in fact, an MI6 agent. However, Attlee discreetly erases the file, forcing Ilsa to return to the Syndicate and prove her loyalty to its leader, Solomon Lane, who Hunt knows as the man in the glasses.
Regrouping with Brandt and Stickell, Hunt and Dunn follow Ilsa back to London, where they debate the nature of their work. Having betrayed one another so many times, they can no longer be certain of their own loyalty, question what to do next as they cannot be sure that Lane has not anticipated and moved to manipulate them. When Dunn is abducted by Lane's men, Hunt realises that Lane will always have a plan to acquire the files, and that the only sure way to stop him is to force a confrontation with him. He agrees to Lane's ultimatum to abduct the Prime Minister and use his biometrics to unlock the file.
As part of Hunt's plan, Brandt contacts Hunley and reveals their location. Hunley arrives at a charity auction in Oxfordshire to try and prevent Hunt from attacking the Prime Minister, and take him with Brandt and Attlee to a secure room. Brandt has the Prime Minister confirm the existence of the Syndicate: a top-secret black project that sought to recruit disavowed foreign operatives to carry out clandestine missions; an initiative that the Prime Minister rejected as too extreme. Atlee then reveals himself as Hunt in disguise and injects the PM with truth serum to secure his biometrics. When the real Atlee arrives, Hunt injects him with truth serum as well, and forces him to admit that he began the Syndicate without the PM's permission, Lane hijacked the project for his own ends and went rogue, and Atlee has been desperately covering up its existence, including using Faust, ever since. Atlee is arrested, with Hunt having Hunley take the credit for subduing him.
Stickell discovers that the file is not a ledger of agents, but contains the locations and access codes for £2.4 billion in untraceable funds - and a video message from Atlee confirming the Syndicate's activation - that Lane has been desperate to get to expand and camouflage the Syndicate's operations. Hunt destroys the file, heads to the meeting at the Tower of London, and convinces Lane he memorised the data, to force him to release Dunn and Faust. He lures Lane out into the open and into a trap set by Stickell, the same trap that the Syndicate used to capture Hunt, while Faust kills Vinter. Imprisoned in a bulletproof cell, Lane is gassed and taken into custody.
Washington, D.C.
Some time later, Hunley and Brandt return to the oversight committee to reinstate the IMF. Hunley suggests that their original meeting gave them a pretext to let Hunt's team infiltrate the government and take down the Syndicate without arousing suspicion. The committee is skeptical, believing Hunley is trying to save face, but agree to restore the IMF when Brandt again refuses to discuss operational matters without permission. Outside, Brandt welcomes Hunley as the new secretary of IMF.
