What happens

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation is a 2015 American action spy film written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie. It is the sequel to Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011) and the fifth installment in the Mission: Impossible film series. The film stars Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Rebecca Ferguson, Sean Harris, Sagar Radia and Alec Baldwin. In the film, Impossible Missions Force agent Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and his IMF team, who, subsequent to their disbandment and Hunt's pursuit by the Central Intelligence Agency, must fight The Syndicate, an international group of rogue government agents. McQuarrie, who completed uncredited rewrites for Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, was announced as the director of Mission: 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 and Will 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 including London, Vienna, Casablanca, and at Leavesden Studios in Hertfordshire, UK. The film's official title was revealed in March 2015. Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation premiered at the Vienna State Opera (one of its filming locations) on July 23, 2015, and was theatrically released in the United States by Paramount Pictures a week later. The film received critical acclaim for McQuarrie's direction, screenplay, action sequences, and the performances of Cruise, Pegg, and Ferguson. It grossed $710.9 million worldwide, becoming the eighth-highest-grossing film of 2015 and the then-second-highest-grossing film in the franchise. A sequel, Mission: Impossible – Fallout, was released in 2018. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
