 Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol is the fourth installment in the Mission Impossible franchise and continues the wild roller coaster that is Ethan Hunt's adventures. It all starts when Hunt is needed to be rescued from a heavily guarded Russian prison. He soon learns about the death of an agent, who was trying to capture a classified file. While in possession of the file, the other agent was shot by a trained assassin. In order to gain back the information, Hunt and Benji, who is now a field agent, must break into the Kremlin and steal what they need, and as they do their best to act as thieves, they learn that trying to steal from thieves isn't as easy as it sounds. After somebody betrays them, Hunt and his team are blamed for a terrorist attack. Because of this, the entire Impossible Mission Force agency is disavowed and replaced with something called the Ghost Protocol. Hunt must regain the United State's trust by preventing another attack from somebody on the inside. However, Hunt is without any resources or backup and is going to be labeled by the government of the United States as a "rogue extremist," but the Secretary of the Impossible Mission Force believes in Hunt and is giving him a slight advantage for solving the mission. Albeit, that slight advantage is turned into dust when the Russians start shooting, unafraid of killing. Ethan must work with William Brandt, a chief analyst, along with Benji, and a few others, in an attempt to clear the name of their agency and stop the terrorist, Hendricks, who's armed with explosive weapons and most likely a nuclear device. This mission might prove to be Hunt's most difficult, but either way, Ethan will have to accomplish the impossible on his brave mission. 
 Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol is action-packed to the very brim from start to finish and is an incredibly intense movie that builds up suspense with ease. In one part of the movie, Ethan Hunt is forced to climb up the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, which manages to create an exciting scene that allows viewers to get a realistic moment that highlights Hunt's physical dominance, as well as help to make the movie feel like it could happen in real life even more. This movie proves to be more fun, more exciting, and way more entertaining than the last one in just about every manner possible. Although the third movie definitely topped over the second, the fourth manages to topple over the third triumphantly. 

 There's more of Benji in Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, and that's absolutely a good thing, because he's an instant fan-favorite and is sure to be beloved by even the most stern of viewers. Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt, and he continues to prove why that this is the role he was made for. 

 Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol knows how to keep the adrenaline pumping, and the movie does, which creates superb action and arguably the best movie in the series to date. Hunt leads this movie and takes the meaning of thriller to the next level. This movie is more than deserving of their outstanding 93% review from Rotten Tomatoes, and is without a doubt worth the time to watch, but for those who haven't watched any of the other Mission Impossible movies, this probably isn't the best place to start. However, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol will definitely not disappoint.
