This movie talks about special agent Ethan Hunt trying to stop the earth from being attacked by the nuclear missile with his four-member group. He is released from the Russian prison to steal the code needed for launching the missile. However, he is caught by the police and mistaken as the man who exploded the Kremlin. After he runs away to go on the mission, his direct leader is killed in front of him, which leaves them unsupported by the government. Ethan decides to disguise as the man who wants the code to conduct trade with the real killer who has the code. Jane disguises as the killer to meet the real person who desires the code. Ethan hopes that finally they can get the code and stop the catastrophe.
 
This movie motivates me to come up with two interesting topics. Firstly, if people are not so rapacious, clashes can be reduced. The film shows the conflict between Russia and America. It is reflected on that between the Russian Police and Ethan. More specifically speaking, it is one between greed and satisfaction. If Russia shares the code with America, or America does not want the code, their contradiction can exit.
Secondly, one should try not to be selfish. Consequences caused by the conflict like all the human beings』 safety being threatened by the terrorist can be avoided. If what people will do may bring others more trouble than what they can get, they should consider whether they ought to do it.
 
As far as I am concerned, this film has two aspects deserved to be recommended. Firstly, advanced technology has been invoked to an almost perfect level. For example, they create virtual things on the screen to convince people that there is something in a distance. When they put forward the screen, people still see the things where they were. Secondly, the acrobatics is amazing. For example, nearly everyone can be shocked and worried while Ethan starts crawling up the highest building in the world from the middle of it.
 
In this movie, content about love story accounts for few space, making the film look a little intense.
 
Rating: 8/10
