Mission Impossible II
Story

           Tom Cruise is acting as Special Agent Ethan Hunt. He  and his Impossible Missions group must hunt defector agent Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott) -- who has stolen an apocalyptically terrible virus recombinant.

           When Hunt spray in love with Nyah Hall (Thandie Newton) – a beautiful & professional thief recruited to join the IMF team as they track the agent & virus across the globe. Even though his feeling for her, Hunt must set Nyah in harm’s way while difficult to get more rapidly to Ambrose. His approach backfire dramatically, frightening not only Nyah’s well being – but the safety of every someone on world.

           Director John Woo brings Hong Kong-style martial arts action to this comic book - flavored sequel that eschews the complicated plot and political maneuverings of its predecessor in favor of pure, adrenaline-charged thrills. Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt, an operative for the top-secret government agency IMF ( Impossible Missions Force ).Fellow agent Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott) has gone rogue, stealing a sample of a deadly synthetic virus named Chimera that could rapidly wipe out the world's population. Ambrose's plan is to sell Chimera to the highest bidder in exchange for shares of stock in the winner's company.

          Summoned by the new IMF chief (Anthony Hopkins in an uncredited cameo role), Ethan is assigned to recruit the help of Ambrose's former lover Nyah Nordoff-Hall (Thandie Newton), a gorgeous woman who left Ambrose broken-hearted and who may be able to quickly regain his confidence. Once he meets and spends a night with Nyah, however, Ethan is smitten, and now must both capture Ambrose and keep Nyah alive as she infiltrates a nest of vipers.

           Sophisticated disguises, gun battles, and high-speed chases are the order of the day, very much in the James Bond mold.  Mission: Impossible 2 is based on a story by Star Trek: The Next Generation writers Ronald D. Moore and Brannon Braga, with a script polish by Robert Towne.
