Plot
Ethan Hunt is an agent working for the Impossible Mission Force. He, Jim Phelps, Claire Phelps, Hannah Williams, Sarah Davies and Jack Harmon are tasked with getting the NOC list from a party in the Czech Republic. However, the mission goes awry and everyone except Hunt is killed.
Eugene Kittridge meets with Hunt in a bar and suspects he is a mole that caused the deaths of his team. Hunt blows up the bar's fish tank and escapes back to the IMF safe house. As he investigates, he realizes that there is a person called Job and the NOC list was supposed to be delivered to this person. Claire shows up, and the two begin to continue investigating.
Hunt meets with Job and tells her the job is compromised. The next day, Hunt and Phelps meet Luther Stickell, whose only request is to keep the equipment when they're done, and Franz Krieger, a skilled knives man. They infiltrate the Langley Headquarters of the CIA to get the real NOC list. The NOC list is with William Donloe, a CIA agent. After a tense sequence in which Hunt gets the NOC list without touching the floor, Krieger drops a knife onto the table.
Heading back to base, Hunt figures out that Krieger was part of the sabotage plot, since the knife that was found on the body of Davies was similar to the one Krieger dropped in Langley. Hunt bluffs Krieger, gets the real NOC list, and arranges for Job to meet him on a TGV train the next day. Hunt tells Kittridge the plan, then finds Jim. Hunt also tells Jim.
On the TGV train, Jim is revealed to be the bad guy, with Claire as his assistant. Hunt confronts Jim, and Jim attempts to escape, shooting his own wife. On the roof of the train, Hunt battles Jim as they head into a tunnel. Hunt kills both Jim and Krieger with a bubblegum bomb, and Max is arrested.
