The Burj Khalifa sequence makes a simple task, getting from one window to another, feel horribly measurable. Cruise performs outside the building on a harness and cable system, following extensive preparation by Gregg Smrz's stunt team. Brad Bird keeps returning to hands, feet and the gulf below, so the scale never becomes abstract. It is a particularly inviting franchise entry if you enjoy ingenious teamwork and physical comedy alongside vertigo.

About Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
Ethan Hunt and his team are racing against time to track down a dangerous terrorist named Hendricks, who has gained access to Russian nuclear launch codes and is planning a strike on the United States. An attempt to stop him ends in an explosion causing severe destruction to the Kremlin and the IMF to be implicated in the bombing, forcing the President to disavow them. No longer being aided by the government, Ethan and his team chase Hendricks around the globe, although they might still be too late to stop a disaster.
