What is Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation About?
“Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation” is the fifth film of the Mission: Impossible franchise. In this installment, Ethan Hunt and his team go rogue. Since the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) dissolved and absorbed the Impossible Mission Force (IMF), most former teammates complied and started working at the CIA. Ethan, on the other hand, goes on the run, knowingly putting a target on his back. As Ethan hunts down the Syndicate, an extremist group with rogue agents planted in government forces, he also tries to evade the CIA. Along the way, he meets MI6 agent Ilsa Faust, who helps him escape from the Syndicate’s torture when he gets caught by the group. He then cleverly rallies the former IMF team and they work together on the down low to take out the Syndicate, headed by former MI6 agent Solomon Lane. The team works with Agent Faust, but she has her own orders from the MI6 and eventually, she goes behind their backs. However, she discovers that she is being framed for an MI6 initiative gone wrong. With teamwork and a touch of advanced technology, they managed to put Lane behind bars. The IMF was also reinstated after the success of the said mission.
Released in 2015, “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation” was succeeded by “Mission: Impossible – Fallout.”
