So that was strange, even though in this film it's, ultimately, revealed to be part of a set-up, but it was still strange to see the film pretty much do the same thing at the beginning as the previous film in the franchise. The IMF is shut down, essentially, in both movies. I don't remember much of Ghost Protocol, the previous film in the MI franchise, but looking back at its description on this site, starts off with a very similar premise. Rating: PG-13 (Sequences of Action & Violence|Brief Partial Nudity) 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. 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.


With the IMF now disbanded and Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) out in the cold, a new threat - called the Syndicate - soon emerges.
