The current trailer campaign for the upcoming July 31 release of Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation doesn’t really try to out-do itself between trailers. That may be up to the pending TV spots as spoilery as they tend to get, but all the trailers haven’t exactly dimmed on excitement with Tom Cruise in high speed motorcycle chases, long vertical dives into deep water, fighting off rogue agents bent on the IMF’s annihilation, and of course the whole hanging-off-of-a-plane thing. None of this is worth overlooking and it’s a credit to director Christopher McQuarrie and writer Drew Pearce in making this one what may be our hero’s last mission…or is it?
With the IMF now disbanded and Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) out in the cold, a new threat — called the Syndicate — soon emerges. The Syndicate is a network of highly skilled operatives who are dedicated to establishing a new world order via an escalating series of terrorist attacks. Faced with what may be the most impossible mission yet, Ethan gathers his team and joins forces with Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), a disavowed British agent who may or may not be a member of this deadly rogue nation.
