In this 1996 "big-screen" version, the team leader of an elite undercover unit tries to find out who set them up after a disastrous mission in Prague. When he is framed for the deaths of his espionage team and learns that someone is attempting to sell a list of Impossible Missions Force agents' names on the black market, Ethan Hunt (Cruise) mobilises a new unit to track down the real culprits.

This film goes to show how getting local information right will improve the ratings. It's so full of holes it makes it unbearable to watch. From the sun rising over Prague Castle when it actually sets from that perceived location to the comical multi faceted errors on the Channel Tunnel, TGV not Eurostar, the diesel locomotive instead of overhead power cables, the train crossing under bridges over 100 years old on a line that was built around 15 years ago, not stopping at the station outside Folkstone and racing at high speed into the not Channel Tunnel). They didn't even try to get this right.
Oh by the way it's Ukraine not The Ukraine.
