It is the sequel toMission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011) and the fifth installment in theMission: Impossible film series. It starsTom Cruise,Jeremy Renner,Simon Pegg,Ving Rhames,Rebecca Ferguson,Sean Harris, andAlec Baldwin. It followsImpossible Missions Force agentEthan Hunt (Cruise) and his team, who, subsequent to their disbandment and Hunt's pursuit by theCentral Intelligence Agency, must fight The Syndicate, an international group of rogue government agents.
McQuarrie, who completed uncredited rewrites forMission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, was announced as the director ofMission: Impossible – Rogue Nation in August 2013. The returns of Cruise, Renner, Pegg and Rhames were confirmed by July 2014 while the screenplay was also developed by Pearce andWill Staples; it was ultimately solely credited to McQuarrie, with Pearce receiving story credit. Ferguson, Harris and Baldwin rounded out the cast that October.Principal photography was from August 2014 to March 2015, in key locations includingLondon,Vienna,Casablanca, and atLeavesden Studios in Hertfordshire, UK. The film's official title was revealed in March 2015.
Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation premiered at theVienna State Opera (one of its filming locations) on July 23, 2015, and was theatrically released in the United States byParamount Pictures a week later. It received widespread critical acclaim, with praise for its action sequences, performances (particularly those of Cruise, Pegg, and Ferguson), screenwriting, and direction. It grossed $710.9 million worldwide, becoming theeighth-highest-grossing film of 2015 and the then-second-highest-grossing film in the franchise. A sequel,Mission: Impossible – Fallout, was released in 2018.
IMF AgentEthan Hunt intercepts a shipment of nerve gas being moved fromMinsk by The Syndicate, a secret consortium of roguefield operatives from variousintelligence agencies that he has been tracking. At an IMF station in London, The Syndicate compromises the briefing. Before being gassed unconscious, he is forced to watch a blond man wearing glasses kill the station operative.
In Washington D.C.,CIA Director Alan Hunley convinces aSenate committee to decommission the IMF and assimilate all assets into the CIA due to their destructive actions in Russia.[b] Agents Benji Dunn and William Brandt are forced to work for the CIA under strict scrutiny, while hackerLuther Stickell resigns in protest. Ethan awakes and is tortured by ex-KGB agent Janik "Bone Doctor" Vinter. He escapes with the help of Ilsa Faust, an undercover BritishMI6 agent. Six months later, Ethan, a wanted fugitive for refusing to turn himself over to the CIA, covertly passes information about The Syndicate to Benji and arranges his tickets toTurandot, performed at theVienna State Opera. Upon Benji's arrival in Vienna, Ethan asks him to help track down the blond man who killed the IMF station operative in London.
At the opera, they encounter Ilsa and several other Syndicate agents there to assassinate theChancellor of Austria. Ethan prevents the hit and escapes with Ilsa, only to witness the Chancellor being killed by acar bomb. Chased by Syndicate agents, Ethan and Benji are forced to release Ilsa to protect her cover. Hunley wrongfully blames both Ethan and Benji for the assassination and orders theSpecial Activities Division to capture or kill them both. Brandt finds Luther and convinces him to help him locate both Ethan and Benji before the CIA does.
Ethan and Benji find Ilsa inCasablanca, where she identifies Ethan's suspect as the rogue MI6 agent, Solomon Lane, who is the leader of The Syndicate. The three then infiltrate an underwater vault beneath a power plant to retrieve a digital ledger stolen from Lane that purportedly contains the names of all Syndicate operatives. However, Ilsa flees with the data to London and meets herhandler, MI6 Chief Atlee, who discreetly deletes the data and forces her to continue her undercover assignment.
Later, Benji and Ethan are found by Luther and Brandt. Luther discovers that the data, which was copied by Benji earlier before finding Ilsa, is an encrypted British government virtualred box that requires thebiometrics of theprime minister of the United Kingdom to unlock it. They all travel to London, but Lane's men abduct Benji during the team's meeting with Ilsa atKing's Cross railway station and use him toblackmail Ethan into decrypting and delivering the data to him. Despite Brandt's protests, Ethan accepts the mission. Brandt secretly reveals their location to Hunley.
InOxford, Hunley, Brandt, and Ethan (disguised as Atlee) meet the Prime Minister, who confirms that The Syndicate was a secret project proposed by Atlee to recruit former intelligence agents and perform missions without oversight and zero accountability, which the Prime Minister unequivocally rejected. Ethan tranquilizes the Prime Minister; he and Brandt secure the Prime Minister's biometrics, allowing Luther to decrypt the file. When the real Atlee arrives, Ethan and Brandt force him to admit that he secretly started The Syndicate without the Prime Minister's knowledge before Lane hijacked it, after which Atlee tried to frame Ilsa.
When decrypting the file, the red box actually contains access to£2.4 billion in numerous accounts. Ethan destroys the data after deducing that Lane plans to fund The Syndicate with the money. Arriving at the meeting place arranged by Lane, Ethan finds Benji strapped to a bomb and wearing a headset and contact lens camera to serve as Lane's proxy alongside Ilsa. Ethan tells Lane that he has memorized the data and offers himself in exchange for Benji's safety. Benji escapes after Lane remotely disarms the bomb while Vinter's men chase Ethan and Ilsa through theTower of London. Ilsa kills Vinter while Lane, who pursues Ethan, is lured into a bulletproof glass cell and gassed unconscious.
Having witnessed an IMF success firsthand, Hunley returns to the Senate committee and claims that their previous meeting served as the first part of an elaborate plan to help Ethan and his team expose and shut down The Syndicate, convincing the committee to restore the IMF. After the meeting, Brandt welcomes Hunley as the new IMF Secretary.
Additional cast includes Robert Maaser as Richter, aKSA agent turned Syndicate operative assigned to kill Ilsa if she fails to kill the Chancellor; Wolfgang Stegemann as Kagan, aMossad agent turned Syndicate operative who fights Hunt at theVienna State Opera;Alec Utgoff as the crewman of the A400 cargo plane carrying nerve gas; Mateo Rufino and Fernando Abadie as low-level Chechen separatists piloting the A400; and Rupert Wickham as theAustrian chancellor.
Paramount Pictures announced in August 2013 thatChristopher McQuarrie would direct the fifthMission: Impossible film, from a script byDrew Pearce, withTom Cruise reprising his role asEthan Hunt. TC Productions andBad Robot would produce andSkydance Productions, who served as co-financers and executive producers ofMission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, will work closely with the team in the development and production process".[5] On November 14, 2013, Paramount announced a release date of December 25, 2015.[6] The same month,Simon Pegg confirmed he would reprise his role as Benji.[7] In May 2014,Will Staples replaced Pearce as screenwriter.[8] Also that month,Jeremy Renner confirmed he was returning in the role of William Brandt,[9] and Cruise said the film would shoot in London,[10] with a later report saying it would first shoot inVienna in August.[11] At some point, McQuarrie replaced Staples as screenwriter; the final credits list McQuarrie as screenwriter, with story by Pearce.
Earlier script drafts of the film byDrew Pearce included an opening sequence set in the 1960s. The character of Dan Briggs from the first season of theoriginal TV series was also considered to return, but his role was given to new character Ilsa Faust instead as McQuarrie didn't want to includefan service for the sake of it.[12]Bryan Burk also attempted to includeMartin Landau in the film but plans ultimately fell through.[12]Jessica Chastain was reportedly offered the role of Ilsa Faust, but she declined.[13][14]
In July 2014,Rebecca Ferguson was cast andAlec Baldwin was in talks for the film.[15][16] Baldwin was confirmed to have joined the cast in August 2014,[17] andVing Rhames was confirmed to be reprising his role ofLuther Stickell.[18] On September 5, it was announced thatSean Harris was in negotiations for the villain role.[19] On October 2,Simon McBurney joined the cast of the film.[20] On October 6, Chinese actressZhang Jingchu joined the film's cast (she only appears for 30 seconds in the finished film).[21][22] On March 22, 2015, Paramount revealed the film's official title,Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, along with a teaser poster and trailer.[23]
Cruise chose Ferguson for the role of Ilsa Faust after watching her in the miniseriesThe White Queen (2013)[24][25] and noticing a resemblance between her andIngrid Bergman.[26] Bergman's spy character inNotorious (1946) was one of Ferguson's inspirations for her role inRogue Nation after Cruise sent her a copy ofNotorious along with otherAlfred Hitchcock films on DVD.[25] The name Ilsa Faust is also a tribute to Bergman's character inCasablanca (1942), Ilsa Lund, which was also a spy.[25]

Principal photography began in August 2014. On August 21, the production released its first photos from the set inVienna, Austria.[17] In August actors Cruise and Pegg, along with director Christopher McQuarrie, were in Vienna, atthe Metro[27] and on the roof-top ofVienna State Opera.[27][28] After finishing one and a half weeks of filming in Austria, on August 30, Cruise arrived in the Moroccan capital city ofRabat for filming more scenes.[29] Here the Marrakesh Highway was closed for fourteen days (August 30 – September 12). Other filming locations in Morocco includeAgadir, Rabat[30] andCasablanca.[31][32][33] On September 8 and 9, filming took place in theMarrakesh Stadium, which was closed both days for filming purposes,[34] andKasbah of the Udayas, in Rabat.[35]
After more than a month of shooting in Austria and Morocco, filming moved to London on September 28.[citation needed] Filming of an action scene featuring Ethan Hunt climbing and hanging on the outside of a flyingAirbus A400M Atlas took place atRAF Wittering nearStamford. Tom Cruise performed the sequence, at times suspended on the aircraft over 5,000 feet (1,500 m) in the air, without the use of a stunt double.[36] To pull off this particular stunt, the production team were given a limited period of only 48 hours. The plane took off and landed 8 times before they had the perfect shot.[37]
On November 9, filming began onSouthampton Water, andFawley Power Station.[38] Tom Cruise trained under diving specialistKirk Krack to be able to hold his breath for three minutes to perform an underwater sequence which was filmed in a singlelong take without any edits (though the scene in the movie was cut with several breaks, giving the impression for the scene having several takes).[39] However, stunt coordinator Wade Eastwood claims that Cruise held his breath for just over six minutes.[37]
Some footage also took place atLeavesden Studios in the UK,[40] with the crew spending a month filming footage in Leavesden's underwater tank.[41] The tank was approximately forty feet in length, and circular tracks were constructed around its drive bays in order to attach the camera and dolly. Other footage shot at Leavesden included additional insert shots, shots of Cruise running through grass which were filmed using a Technocrane, and several crowd shots.[42] On February 20, 2015,The Hollywood Reporter said filming was halted to give McQuarrie, Cruise, and an unknown third person time to rework the film's ending.[43] Filming ended on March 12, 2015.[44]
Themusical score forMission: Impossible – Rogue Nation was composed byJoe Kraemer, who had previously collaborated with director McQuarrie onThe Way of the Gun andJack Reacher. Kraemer was announced as the composer for the film in September 2014.[45] The soundtrack was recorded with small orchestral sections atBritish Grove Studios and with full orchestra atAbbey Road Studios.[46][47] As well as incorporatingLalo Schifrin's thematic material from the television series throughout the score, three tracks ("Escape to Danger", "A Matter of Going", and "Finale and Curtain Call") interpolatePuccini'sNessun dorma aria from his operaTurandot, featured in the opera house scene.[47][48]
The physical soundtrack was released by La-La Land Records on July 24, 2015, with the digital album made available from Paramount Music on the same day.
Paramount had originally scheduled the film for a December 25, 2015, release. On January 26, 2015, Paramount advanced the release date to July 31, 2015.[49][50] The main reason cited byThe Hollywood Reporter was to avoid competition with two other 2015 films,Star Wars: The Force Awakens andSpectre.[51] In the United States and Canada, it was released in theDolby Vision format inDolby Cinema, the first-ever time for Paramount.[52] On February 13, 2015, Paramount andIMAX Corporation announced that they woulddigitally remaster the film into theIMAX format and release it in IMAX theaters worldwide on the scheduled date.[53] The film was completed at 2:00AM on July 18, 2015, less than two weeks before its release date.[citation needed] It was officially released in North America on July 31, 2015.Lotte released the film inSouth Korea on July 30, 2015.[54] It was released in China on September 8, 2015.[55]
In August 2015,Fox Networks acquired the US cable broadcast rights, for broadcast after its theatrical release. The film is available for FX Networks and its suite of networks: FX,FXX, FXM, as well as the video-on-demand platform FXNow.[56]
Paramount Pictures spent $42 million on advertising for the film.[57]
A comic book was released in conjunction with the film'sDVD/Blu-ray release. It follows Hunt going rogue during the events of the film. The comic is written by the film's writer and director Christopher McQuarrie and illustrated byLazarus artist Owen Freeman.[58]
Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation was released onBlu-ray andDVD on December 15, 2015, in the United States.[59] A 4KUltra HD Blu-ray was released on June 26, 2018, along with the first four films.[60]
Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation grossed $195 million in the U.S. and Canada, and $515.9 million in other countries, for a worldwide total of $710.9 million.[4] It was theeighth-highest-grossing film of 2015.[61] AlthoughRogue Nation was projected to become the highest-grossingMission: Impossible film and the biggest movie for Cruise,[62] it apparently fell short of eclipsingMission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol's final gross to become the second-highest-grossingMission: Impossible film and the third-biggest film for Cruise.[63] It had a worldwide opening of $121 million and an IMAX worldwide opening total of $12.5 million (the third-biggest of July behindThe Dark Knight Rises (2012) andHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011)).[64]Deadline Hollywood calculated the net profit of the film to be $108.9 million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues for the film.[65]
In the United States and Canada, according to pre-release tracking, the film was projected to earn around $40–50 million in its opening weekend, less than what the first threeMission: Impossible films earned in their initial weekend.[66][67][68] It made $4 million from its Thursday night showings which began at 8 p.m. from 2,764 theaters,[69][70] and $20.3 million on its opening day, which is the second-biggest opening day for Cruise (behindWar of the Worlds) and the biggest in theMission: Impossible franchise (breakingMission: Impossible 2's record), with 16% of ticket sales from the film's 367 IMAX theaters.[66][71][72] In its opening weekend, the film grossed $55.5 million exceeding expectations and is the second-highest opening in the franchise, behindMission: Impossible 2 ($57.8 million) and the third-biggest for Cruise behindWar of the Worlds ($64.8 million) andMission: Impossible 2.[73][74] IMAX contributed $8.4 million of the total opening gross from 369 IMAX screens which is the third-best for a July opening afterThe Dark Knight Rises ($19 million) andHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 ($15.2 million). Premium large format grossed up $2.6 million, 13% of Friday's gross with Cinemark XD grossing close to $700,000 at 108 screens.[73] It remained at the top spot for thesecond weekend earning an estimated $28.5 million (down 48.7%) from 3,988 theaters (32+ theaters) buoyed byword of mouth, rapturous reviews and strong plays at IMAX theaters.[75] Revenues from IMAX also dropped steadily by 39% to $4.3 million in its second weekend.[76] It topped the North American box office for two consecutive weekends until surpassed by the music biographical dramaStraight Outta Compton in its third weekend.[77][78][79] It ended its theatrical run on October 29, 2015, playing in theaters for a total of 91 days, or 13 weeks, earning a total of $195 million at the North American box office which is just 28.6% of its total worldwide gross.[4] It is the fourth-highest-grossingMission: Impossible film behindMission: Impossible – Fallout ($220 million),Mission: Impossible 2 ($215 million) andMission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol ($209 million).[63]
Elsewhere, the film opened in 40 international markets including 135 IMAX theaters on July 31, 2015, in big markets such the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Australia.[66] It grossed $64.5 million in its opening weekend and went No. 1 in 33 markets and IMAX contributed $4.1 million of its international opening.[64] Revenues from its second weekend increased by 0.5% to $65 million. It added 18 new markets including India, Japan, and Russia and opened at No. 1 in 17 of the 18 markets with the exception of Japan where it was behindJurassic World.[80] Overall, it opened at No. 1 in 55 of the 63 territories it has been released in and had the biggest opening weekend ever for the franchise in 46 markets and Cruise's best opening in 40 markets.[64][80][81] It topped the box office outside of North America for three consecutive weekends before being overtaken by Paramount's ownTerminator Genisys in its fourth weekend[81][82] and four in total.[83]
It had the biggest opening for the franchise in the UK, Ireland and Malta ($8.3 million), France ($7 million), India ($7.5 million), Japan ($6.1 million), Russia and the CIS ($5.3 million), Mexico ($5 million), the Middle East ($4.7; including $2.5 million from UAE alone), Taiwan ($5.1 million), Australia ($3.8 million), Germany ($3.2 million), Brazil ($3.1 million) and Pakistan ($1 million).[64][80][82][84] In South Korea, where the franchise has been a hit it opened to $16.95 million (49% aboveGhost Protocol), which is the second-biggest opening ever for Paramount, behindTransformers: Dark of the Moon; Cruise's biggest-ever opening; the best for theMission: Impossible franchise; and the second-biggest opening for a Western film of 2015.[64][85] It added $8.1 and $3.7 million in its second and third weekend for a total of $41.1 million making South Korea the film's second-highest market followed by Japan ($41.2 million), the United Kingdom ($32 million), France ($20.9 million), and Germany ($13 million).[86][87][88][89] In Japan, it faced competition with the continued run ofJurassic World.[90] In China,Rogue Nation emerged very successful and earned $18.5 million on its opening day of September 8 (including $1.4 million from midnight screenings), which is the country's biggest opening for a Hollywood 2D film, the second-biggest for any 2D film in China (only behind the $22.2 million debut of local 2D filmPancake Man), and the fifth-biggest opening for any film.[91][92] Despite opening on a Tuesday—during which most children are off to school—the film opened successfully and almost matched the opening figure of North America. Rob Cain ofForbes cited out possible reasons for the successful opening: the well-establishment of the franchise in China (its immediate predecessorGhost Protocol earned $102.7 million), rapid expansion and growth of Chinese movie market, being the second Hollywood movie (afterTerminator Genisys) to be released after the nearly 60-day blackout period in which non-Chinese movies were dabarred from going to general release in the country, and the successful awareness campaign and marketing efforts by the team including Tom Cruise visiting several Chinese cities.[92] It went on to earn an estimated $85.8 million through its opening weekend (Tuesday–Sunday) from 5,500 screens.[83] It is the highest-grossing 2D Hollywood film there with $136.8 million (breakingInterstellar's record).[88][89][93][94]Rogue Nation was projected to make roughly 70% of its worldwide gross abroad,[71] and indeed ended up making $487,287,762 or 71.4% of its entire worldwide gross overseas[4] which is the second highest among the series.[63]
On thereview aggregatorRotten Tomatoes,Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation has a rating of 94% based on 328 reviews and an average rating of 7.50/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation continues the franchise's thrilling resurgence—and proves that Tom Cruise remains an action star without equal."[95]Metacritic gives the film a score of 75 out of 100 based on 46 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[96] Audiences surveyed byCinemaScore gave the film a grade of "A−" on an A+ to F scale.[97]
Ty Burr ofThe Boston Globe called the film "preposterously enjoyable" and said that it "unfolds with fluid, twisty, old-school pleasure," highlighting the performances of Cruise, Pegg, Ferguson, and Baldwin and comparing the action scenes to those of theJames Bond films as well asAlfred Hitchcock'sThe Man Who Knew Too Much (1956). He ultimately gave the film 3 out of 4 stars.[98]Richard Roeper of theChicago Sun-Times gaveRogue Nation 3.5 out of 4 stars, highly praising the film's cast and stating that the film "keeps topping itself". However, he criticized the villain for not being too memorable or intimidating.[99] Kenneth Turan of theLos Angeles Times said that McQuarrie's direction allowedRogue Nation to stand out among the other films in terms of action and its inclusion of female characters, singling out Ferguson's Ilsa as uniquely empowered and action-oriented, also praising her scenes with Cruise.[100] Christopher Orr ofThe Atlantic praised Cruise, saying "You overcome the impossible through the application of sheer, unvarnished willpower, a quality that Cruise has always possessed in abundance" and describing him as the driving force of the film and the franchise. He, too, praised Ferguson among the supporting cast for her role as an action heroine.[101] Joseph Wigler ofMTV.com considered the movie as "one of the most entertaining Ethan Hunt adventures" which proves that "the franchise still has plenty of fight left in it, with no signs of slowing down."[102] He praised the performances of Cruise and Ferguson,[102] applauding the latter for playing "the most fascinating character in the entire movie" and "one of the most complicated and alluring characters in the entire five film series."[103]Manohla Dargis ofThe New York Times stated "Sleek and bloated, specific and generic, 'Rogue Nation' is pretty much like most of the 'Impossible' movies in that it's an immense machine that Mr. McQuarrie, after tinkering and oiling, has cranked up again and set humming with twists and turns, global trotting and gadgets, a crack supporting cast and a hard-working star."[104]
A. A. Dowd ofThe A.V. Club remarked, "Rather than go full auteur on his formulaic material, McQuarrie instead offers a kind of greatest-hits package: 'Rogue Nation' marries the shifting loyalties of Brian De Palma's original to the kinetic action beats of John Woo's seriesnadir and the all-set-piece structure of Brad Bird's serieszenith, adding an omnipotent villain not far removed from the one Philip Seymour Hoffman played in J.J. Abrams' entry. It's the least visually or conceptually distinctive of the five movies, leaning on what's worked before rather than forging its own path."[105] Chris Nashawaty ofEntertainment Weekly gave the film a B+, calling it "breathlessly thrilling" and giving high praise to its action sequences, saying "all you can do is pick your jaw off your lap and grin at the breathtakingly bananas spectacle you've just witnessed."[106] Meanwhile, David Edelstein of Vulture.com called Ferguson the "best reason" to see the film. However, he felt it did not surpass its predecessor and singled out several elements of some of the action sequences for criticism.[107] Joe Morgenstern ofThe Wall Street Journal also praised Ferguson but felt that she and Cruise had "zero chemistry" onscreen. Nonetheless, he praised the film for working "ingenious changes on old tropes".[108] Daniel Krupa ofIGN only gave the film a score of 7/10, praising the action sequences and the performances of the central cast but criticizing it for not adding enough to the series or expanding on the plot ofGhost Protocol.[109] Chris Evangelista from/Film commented in July 2023 in the wake ofMission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One the effects from the introduction of Rebecca Ferguson's character Ilsa Faust in Rogue Nation as "a smart, sexy, highly capable spy playing all angles."[110] He called her "a great character" and "something of a revelation to the franchise – someone who could go toe to toe with Ethan Hunt." Concluding Evangelista observed that Ilsa Faust became "a fan favorite, thanks to how complex the character was written, how much she kicked ass, and Ferguson's compelling, sleek performance."[110]
