Mission: Impossible - Fallout sees Tom Cruise return as IMF Agent, Ethan Hunt. Filled with nail-biting action scenes, break neck twists and turns and one of the best single shot scenes ever put to film, Fallout stands as one of the best action movies of the year. There is a lot to unpack from the movie and some of the reveals may leave some viewers scratching their head by the final scenes.
Your mission, if you choose to accept it is to watch this video in which I will cover the film's plot and ending in full detail to make sure that you haven't missed anything. There will be heavy spoilers and Fallout is definitely worth your time so I highly recommend that you come back to this video if you're yet to see the film. You have been warned
With that out the way, I'm Deffinition and I ruin the movie so you don't have to!
Plot SynopsisAfter the capture of Solomon Lane at the end of Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, the Syndicate has dissolved. Still loyal to Lane a shadowy organisation made up of his followers, code named the Apostles, has risen to terrorise the world once more. They believe that A Great Suffering will cause the world to seek peace and manage to attain three nuclear bombs during an arms deal gone wrong in which Hunt was present at.
Due to this failing the CIA put their best man Agent Walker, played by Henry Cavill, on the task to aid Hunt in recapturing the bombs. With Walker, Hunt travels to Paris to impersonate the leader of The Apostles, John Laark and meet with a broker named The White Widow. When Laark is killed, Hunt must impersonate him without a mask and meets the White Widow who is revealed to be Max's daughter from the first Mission: Impossible film.
The Widow informs Hunt that in order to get the Nuclear weapons back he must capture Solomon Lane and turn him over at an arms exchange. This worries Walker who tells his boss that he believes Hunt is infact Laark and using the double bluff as a cover in order to carry out the mission.
Hunt captures Lane and manages to bring him to London much to the dismay of Isla Faust played by Rebecca Ferguson. Faust has been disavowed by MI6 but knows that should she kill Lane that she would be able to return home. In London, Walker is tricked into revealing that he is infact Laark by a trap set up by Ethan. However, upon attempting to bring Laark in, other Apostles that have infiltrated the CIA kill Director Huntley and Laark manages to escape by threatening to murder Hunt's now ex wife.
Hunt and the gang have a back up plan though and have placed a tracking device in Lane which they manage to follow to a remote village where Hunt discovers his ex wife is working as a relief worker. Lane activates the Nukes and Hunt races across the sky to obtain the detonator whilst the ground troops disable the bombs. It's a fantastic finale that sees Henry Cavill end up looking like Crossbones and has one of the best action scenes in the series thus far.
Lane once again is captured and in the final scenes we see that he is handed over to The White Widow. This is because The White Widow was a wanted woman but handing over the world's number one terrorist will absolve her of the past dealings of her family. Earlier in the film she tried to arrange a deal in which she could return Faust to the MI6 as a prisoner a long with Lane but this cuts a corner and allows Faust to carry on free once more.
With Laark's confession already captured on camera earlier in the film, The IMF have little to worry about in terms of going Rogue and Hunt's ex wife admits that it was selfish to carry on their marriage when Ethan is one of the most capable agents when it comes to stopping the Apocalypse. The film ends on a high note and I cannot wait to see how Lane plays into future sequels and what the next mission for the IMF will be.
