Pretty much everything is terrible right now, but at least there’s some wild, bravura blockbuster filmmaking either clueless or sly enough to try and make us forget that. Mission: Impossible — Fallout (opening July 27) is about anarchists trying to fix the world by destroying it, and yet these dark questions about civilization’s survival are met with bright and cracking wit. Writer-director Christopher McQuarrie ratchets his movie—and the M:I franchise—up to a mad pitch, then revels in a whirling, controlled-chaos unraveling. In ragged times, the sophisticated derring-do of Fallout is a welcome gift, a slick and studio-polished adventure that nonetheless has the undermining wink of transgression. The movie’s nerve and moxie successfully make us forget its corporate overlords, and all those other oligarchs grinding millions of American lives into nothing.
Whew! That got a little dark. Which conversations about Fallout shouldn’t, really. The movie is a full-tilt blast, a direct sequel to 2015’s Rogue Nation that rewards a familiarity with that film but also knows that its plot’s chief function is to deliver grand set pieces. Which isn’t to say the movie is without narrative weight. It’s just that whatever details from the last one you’ve forgotten or never knew to begin with are quickly smoothed away. True to the medium, the movie almost never stops, well, moving—and in that aerodynamic charge a coherent enough plot takes shape, one that has Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) examining the nature of his commitment to all this world-saving, while pretty much everyone around him regards him as the lunatic he is.
But what a dependable lunatic. Who could have guessed that the Mission: Impossible franchise, of all the franchises, would have such staying power, somehow getting better as it aged. In expanding its scope beyond the original film’s gizmo tradecraft, the series surely should have become too similar to every other bloated, idea-less action spectacular. And yet through canny choices in directors--J.J. Abrams, Brad Bird, now McQuarrie—the franchise has found a surprising creative groove, toying with physics in an amiable game of one-upmanship that has yielded dazzling results. In Fallout, Cruise—whose devotion to stunt work is as crucial to these films as anything else—jumps out of a high-altitude plane and hangs from a helicopter as it whips over the mountains of Kashmir, daring us to consider that his work on these films might only be finished when one of them actually kills him. (This one nearly did.) Cruise’s crazy gusto dovetails neatly with Ethan Hunt’s, and Fallout runs swiftly, as the franchise has, on those twin engines of intensity.
The trailers for Fallout have largely showcased the helicopter stuff, which is a beguiling and ludicrous bit of action filmmaking. But I’m even more enamored of what comes before, particularly an extended sequence set in sunny, springtime Paris, a long kidnapping and pursuit that is remarkable for how deceptively lo-fi and simple it is. McQuarrie doesn’t introduce anything new to the chase scene, exactly, but he stages one with tireless verve, pushing the scene past its seemingly natural ending and then again past that. We’re giddy and exhausted by the time the thing has concluded, only to be swept up in the movie’s next exhilarating clause, which is nothing more or less exciting than Tom Cruise running across the rooftops of London. He’s the best runner in movies, and Fallout is wise to give his tight little stride its proper due.
There’s a sense of Christopher Nolan’s macro dramatics at work in Fallout. McQuarrie films with a gliding insistence similar to much of The Dark Knight’s looming urban warfare, and Lorne Balfe’s score swells and thrums and booms in similarly epic proportions. He’s an acolyte of Nolan familiar Hans Zimmer, a fact you can hear in every chord that approaches “bwaaamp.”
But Balfe does his own thing too, particularly in his use of percussion, snares and bongos that create a jaunty staccato momentum. And McQuarrie keeps his film lighter than Nolan has ever been able to (or interested in). I like the occasional heaviness of Fallout, its moody reveries. But the film is not too steeped in that seriousness, either. It’s a movie with stakes, but compartmentalized ones, as if the end of society and the corrosion of personal ethics were merely manageable parts of a problem, rather than all we’ve been freaking out about for the last 18 months.
Which is a nice, if deluding, idea. I’m not that eager to try to pick apart what constitutes politics in Fallout, because I’m not sure what I’d find beyond a kind of recursive Möbius strip, referencing its own spy logic to justify all its spy action. I’m sure one could draw parallels between Fallout’s world saviorism and, say, the Avengers’ version of the same—but could we maybe just enjoy this one thing on its more visceral merits for a bit? I realize that’s a lazy, problematic ask these days. But Fallout is such bracing entertainment that I’d like to linger in its gleeful rattle a little longer before context comes crashing in.
That seems to be how Cruise most successfully operates these days, when he’s relegated himself to the trusted stuff that works, far away from whatever we do or don’t know about his personal life. He’s aces in the film, half cocked and half confident, letting us see some sweat and desperation to offset—and complement, really—his ropey competence. He’s supported ably by Henry Cavill in arch-hunk mode and series mainstay Ving Rhames, who gets to do some genuine emoting in a pair of scenes that have a poignant charge. (Fallout finds an emotional core underneath its sleek shell, one just gooey enough—when underscored by Balfe’s surging strings—to prove sincerely affecting.) Rebecca Ferguson returns as British assassin Ilsa Faust, getting a little less to do this go-around, but still acting as a sturdy foil for Cruise. He’s also paired with a slinking Vanessa Kirby, as an upscale arms broker, in a few crackling scenes. One hopes Kirby will be asked back for the next outing.
For surely there will be a next outing. Though Fallout has some definitive conclusions, it leaves Ethan’s world open enough to invite in whatever other new criminal catastrophe might await. If the antics are as dizzyingly high-grade as Fallout’s, I eagerly welcome the next installment. McQuarrie’s film is the most fun you’re likely to have at the movies this season, a riot mounted with precision, a melee in which every punch and crunch is considered. I worry for Cruise’s safety should he continue to make these films, but he at least seems to be in the best possible hands. What a thrill to watch our old movie-star hero tossed around willy-nilly—but carefully. And all in service of showing us a good time! That generosity is more than appreciated.

All together, now: Dun, dun, dun-dun DUN, dun, dun-dun Bwaaa-da-daaaa.. Bwaaa-da-daaaa..
And here you thought I was going to go with the obvious: Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to download the first four 'Mission: Impossible' movies before Paramount discovers that it's giving them away for free!
Talk about impossible, am I right? Update:Guess I was right, as it appears the promotion has ended. So sorry, cheeps -- I don't know what logic Paramount used in terminating this in the middle of the day. Oh, right: none.
And, yet, there they are: 'Mission: Impossible,' 'Mission: Impossible 2,' 'Mission: Impossible 3' and 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol,' all full-length, all HD, all free.
You win, Paramount: I will go buy a ticket to 'Rogue Nation.' (I was gonna see it anyway. Suckers!)
Two strings attached, if you can even call them strings: You have to sign up for a Paramount Movies account (which is free), and you have to then link it with an UltraViolet account (new or existing, also free).
So here's the process: Click through to the promotion link, then choose one of the movies. After you complete the Paramount and UltraViolet sign-ins/sign-ups, you should end up at your library page -- with that selected movie ready for streaming or downloading.
Now head back to the promo page and choose another movie. Wash, rinse, repeat until you have all four. From there you can stream/download the movies to your PC or install the Paramount or Vudu app for viewing on your mobile device. You can even download them to a phone or tablet for offline enjoyment, which is sweet.
Once you've wrapped your brain around getting four seriously awesome movies for free, head to the comments and nominate your favorite of the series.
Although I loved the first one, I think 'M:I-3' is the best of the bunch; I even rate it among the all-time great action movies. The second one bored me to tears, and the fourth wasn't especially memorable (though I'm glad I now have the chance to rewatch it). Your thoughts?

Mission: Impossible is a 1996 American actionspy film[4] directed by Brian De Palma and produced by and starring Tom Cruise. Based on the television series of the same name, it is the first installment in the Mission: Impossible film series. Its plot follows Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and his mission to uncover the mole who has framed him for the murders of his entire Impossible Missions Force (IMF) team.
Work on the script had begun early with filmmaker Sydney Pollack on board, before De Palma, Steven Zaillian, David Koepp, and Robert Towne were brought in. Mission: Impossible went into pre-production without a shooting script: De Palma devised several action sequences, but Koepp and Towne were dissatisfied with the story that led up to those events. U2 band members Larry Mullen Jr. and Adam Clayton produced a dance rendition of the original theme music, which became a top-ten hit in the US (receiving gold record certification) and six other countries and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.
Mission: Impossible was a commercial and critical success upon its release, eventually becoming the third highest-grossing film of 1996 along with a mostly positive response from critics. Its success spawned the Mission: Impossible film series.

Plot[edit]
Jim Phelps and his team, the Impossible Missions Force (IMF), are dispatched to stop the theft of the CIAnon-official cover (NOC) list from the American embassy in Prague. Their mission fails: the list is stolen, Phelps is shot, his wife Claire dies in a car bombing, and the rest of the team except Ethan Hunt are eliminated by unknown assassins and supposed tech malfunctions. Meeting with IMF director Eugene Kittridge, Hunt reveals his awareness of a second IMF team sent to monitor them, and learns the job was a setup to lure out a mole within the IMF, who is believed to be working with an arms dealer known as 'Max' as part of 'Job 314.' As Hunt is the only member left, Kittridge suspects him of being the mole, and Hunt flees.
Returning to the Prague safe house, Hunt realizes 'Job 314' refers to Bible verse Job 3:14, 'Job' being the mole's code name. Claire arrives at the safe house, explaining she escaped the bomb after Phelps aborted the mission. Hunt arranges a meeting with Max, and warns her that she has been given a fake list on a disc equipped with a tracking device. He promises to deliver the real list in return for $10 million and Job's identity. Max and her agents escape, taking Hunt with them, just before a CIA team raids their location.
Hunt and Claire recruit two disavowed IMF agents: computer expert Luther Stickell and pilot Franz Krieger. They infiltrate CIA headquarters in Langley, steal the real list, and flee to London. Kittridge, detecting the theft, has Hunt's mother and uncle falsely arrested for drug trafficking. He provides media coverage of the arrest, forcing Hunt to contact him from Liverpool Street Station. Hunt allows the CIA to trace him to London before hanging up, but is surprised to find Phelps nearby. Phelps recounts surviving the shooting, naming Kittridge as the mole. Hunt realizes Phelps is the mole, having stolen a Bible with a Gideon stamp from Chicago's Drake Hotel during a previous assignment known to Hunt's team. Hunt also suspects Krieger as the one who killed the other IMF members in Prague, having recognized his distinctive knife; however, he is unsure whether Claire was involved. Hunt arranges with Max to exchange the list aboard the TGV train to Paris the next day and secretly sends tickets to Kittridge.
On the train, Hunt remotely directs Max to the list. Max verifies it and directs Hunt to the baggage car, where he can find both the money and Job. Hunt calls Claire and tells her to meet him there. Meanwhile, Stickell uses a jamming device to prevent Max from uploading the data to her servers. Claire reaches the baggage car, finds Phelps and tells him Hunt will arrive shortly. She questions the idea of killing Hunt, since they will need a fall guy, but Phelps reveals himself to be Hunt in a mask, exposing her as a co-conspirator. When the real Phelps arrives and takes the money at gunpoint, Hunt dons a pair of video glasses that relays Phelps' image to Kittridge, blowing Phelps' cover as the mole.
Phelps threatens to kill Hunt, but shoots Claire instead when she intervenes. He climbs to the roof of the train, where Krieger is waiting with a helicopter and a tether. Hunt connects the tether to the train itself, forcing the helicopter into the Channel Tunnel after the train. Hunt places an explosive chewing gum on the helicopter windshield, killing Krieger and Phelps. Kittridge arrests Max and recovers the list, then reinstates Hunt and Stickell as IMF agents. Hunt is unsure about returning to the team, but on the flight home, an attendant uses a coded phrase to ask him if he is ready to take on a new mission.

Production[edit]
Development and writing[edit]
Paramount Pictures owned the rights to the television series and had tried for years to make a film version but had failed to come up with a viable treatment. Tom Cruise had been a fan of the show since he was young and thought that it would be a good idea for a film.[5] The actor chose Mission: Impossible to be the first project of his new production company and convinced Paramount to put up a $70 million budget.[6] Cruise and his producing partner, Paula Wagner, worked on a story with filmmaker Sydney Pollack for a few months when the actor hired Brian De Palma to direct.[7] They went through two screenplay drafts that no one liked. De Palma brought in screenwriters Steve Zaillian, David Koepp, and finally Robert Towne. When the film was green-lit Koepp was initially fired with Robert Towne being the lead writer and Koepp being brought back on later.[8] According to the director, the goal of the script was to 'constantly surprise the audience.'[7] Reportedly, Koepp was paid $1 million to rewrite an original script by Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz. According to one project source, there were problems with dialogue and story development. However, the basic plot remained intact.[9]
The film went into pre-production without a script that the filmmakers wanted to use.[7] De Palma designed the action sequences but neither Koepp nor Towne were satisfied with the story that would make these sequences take place. Towne ended up helping organize a beginning, middle and end to hang story details on while De Palma and Koepp worked on the plot.[7] De Palma convinced Cruise to set the first act of the film in Prague, a city rarely seen in Hollywood films at the time.[6] Reportedly, studio executives wanted to keep the film's budget in the $40–50 million range, but Cruise wanted a 'big, showy action piece' that took the budget up to the $62 million range.[9] The scene that takes place in a glass-walled restaurant with a big lobster tank in the middle and three huge fish tanks overhead was Cruise's idea.[6] There were 16 tons in all of the tanks and there was a concern that when they detonated, a lot of glass would fly around. De Palma tried the sequence with a stuntman, but it did not look convincing and he asked Cruise to do it, despite the possibility that the actor could have drowned.[6]
The script that Cruise approved called for a final showdown to take place on top of a moving train. The actor wanted to use the famously fast French train the TGV[6] but rail authorities did not want any part of the stunt performed on their trains.[7] When that was no longer a problem, the track was not available. De Palma visited railroads on two continents trying to get permission.[7] Cruise took the train owners out to dinner and the next day they were allowed to use it.[6] For the actual sequence, the actor wanted wind that was so powerful that it could knock him off the train. Cruise had difficulty finding the right machine that would create the wind velocity that would look visually accurate before remembering a simulator he used while training as a skydiver. The only machine of its kind in Europe was located and acquired. Cruise had it produce winds up to 140 miles per hour so it would distort his face.[6] Exterior shots of the train were filmed on the Glasgow South Western Line, between New Cumnock, Dumfries and Annan. Most of the sequence, however, was filmed on a stage against a blue screen for later digitizing by the visual effects team at Industrial Light & Magic.[10]
The filmmakers delivered the film on time and under budget, a rarity in Hollywood, with Cruise doing most of his own stunts.[5] Initially, there was a sophisticated opening sequence that introduced a love triangle between Jim Phelps, his wife Claire and Ethan Hunt that was removed because it took the test audience 'out of the genre', according to De Palma.[7] There were rumors that the actor and De Palma did not get along and they were fueled by the director excusing himself at the last moment from scheduled media interviews before the film's theatrical release.[5]
Music[edit]
The film uses Lalo Schifrin's original 'Theme from Mission: Impossible'. Originally, Alan Silvestri was hired to write the film's score and had, in fact, recorded somewhere around 23 minutes of the score.[citation needed] During post-production, due to creative differences, Silvestri's music was rejected and replaced with new music by composer Danny Elfman.[citation needed] According to some sources, the decision to replace Silvestri was made by producer Tom Cruise.[11]
U2 bandmates Larry Mullen, Jr. and Adam Clayton were fans of the TV show and knew the original theme music well, but were nervous about remaking Schifrin's legendary theme song.[12] Clayton put together his own version in New York City and Mullen did his in Dublin on weekends between U2 recording sessions. The two musicians were influenced by Brian Eno and the European dance club scene sound of the recently finished album Passengers. They allowed Polygram to pick its favorite and they wanted both. In a month, they had two versions of the song and five remixed by DJs. All seven tracks appeared on a limited edition vinyl release.[12]
The song entered the top 10 of music charts around the world, was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance in 1997, and was a critical and commercial success.[citation needed]
Marketing[edit]
Apple Computer had a $15 million promotion linked to the film that included a game, print ads and television spot featuring scenes from the TV show turned into the feature film; dealer and in-theater promos; and a placement of Apple personal computers in the film. This was an attempt on Apple's part to improve their image after posting a $740 million loss in its fiscal second quarter.[13]
Reception[edit]
Original television series cast[edit]
Several cast members of the original 1966–73 TV series reacted negatively to the film.
Actor Greg Morris, who portrayed Barney Collier in the original television series, was reportedly disgusted with the film's treatment of the Phelps character, and he walked out of the theater before the film ended.[14]Peter Graves, who played Jim Phelps in the original series as well as in the late-1980s revival, also disliked how Phelps turned out in the film.[15]
Martin Landau, who portrayed Rollin Hand in the original series, expressed his own disapproval concerning the film. In an MTV interview in October 2009, Landau stated, 'When they were working on an early incarnation of the first one — not the script they ultimately did — they wanted the entire team to be destroyed, done away with one at a time, and I was against that. It was basically an action-adventure movie and not Mission. Mission was a mind game. The ideal mission was getting in and getting out without anyone ever knowing we were there. So the whole texture changed. Why volunteer to essentially have our characters commit suicide? I passed on it .. The script wasn't that good either!'[16]
Box office[edit]
Mission: Impossible opened on May 22, 1996 in 3,012 theaters—the most ever up to that point—and broke the record for a film opening on Wednesday with US$11.8 million, beating the $11.7 million Terminator 2: Judgment Day made in 1991.[17] The film also set house records in several theaters around the United States.[18]Mission: Impossible grossed $75 million in its first six days, surpassing Jurassic Park, and took in more than $56 million over the four-day Memorial Day weekend, beating out The Flintstones.[19] Cruise deferred his usual $20 million fee for a significant percentage of the box office.[19] The film went on to make $180.9 million in North America and $276.7 million in the rest of the world for a worldwide total of $457.6 million.[20]
Critical response[edit]
Mission: Impossible received mainly positive reviews from critics. The film has a 63% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 57 reviews, with an average rating of 6/10, with the critical consensus reading, 'Full of special effects, Brian DePalma's update of Mission: Impossible has a lot of sweeping spectacle, but the plot is sometimes convoluted'.[21] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 59 out of 100, based on 29 reviews, indicating 'mixed or average reviews'.[22]Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert gave the film three out of four stars and wrote, 'This is a movie that exists in the instant, and we must exist in the instant to enjoy it.'[23] In his review for The New York Times, Stephen Holden addressed the film's convoluted plot: 'If that story doesn't make a shred of sense on any number of levels, so what? Neither did the television series, in which basic credibility didn't matter so long as its sci-fi popular mechanics kept up the suspense.'[24] Mike Clark of USA Today gave the film three out of four stars and said that it was 'stylish, brisk but lacking in human dimension despite an attractive cast, the glass is either half-empty or half-full here, though the concoction goes down with ease.'[25]
However, Hal Hinson, in his review for The Washington Post, wrote, 'There are empty thrills, and some suspense. But throughout the film, we keep waiting for some trace of personality, some color in the dialogue, some hipness in the staging or in the characters' attitudes. And it's not there.'[26]Time magazine's Richard Schickel wrote, 'What is not present in Mission: Impossible (which, aside from the title, sound-track quotations from the theme song and self-destructing assignment tapes, has little to do with the old TV show) is a plot that logically links all these events or characters with any discernible motives beyond surviving the crisis of the moment.'[27] Writing for Entertainment Weekly, Owen Gleiberman gave the film a 'B' rating and said, 'The problem isn't that the plot is too complicated; it's that each detail is given the exact same nagging emphasis. Intriguing yet mechanistic, jammed with action yet as talky and dense as a physics seminar, the studiously labyrinthine Mission: Impossible grabs your attention without quite tickling your imagination.'[28]
