Talks for a sixth Mission: Impossible film began prior to the release of Rogue Nation in 2015. The film was officially announced in November 2015, with McQuarrie confirming his return as writer and director, as well as producer alongside J. J. Abrams and Cruise, the seventh collaboration between the pair. Jeremy Renner confirmed that he was unable to appear in the film due to scheduling conflicts with Avengers: Endgame. Filming took place from April 2017 to March 2018, in Paris, London, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Arab Emirates. Production was notably put on-hold for two months following an injury to Cruise in August 2017.

Feared arms dealer Ezekiel Mannings has finally been captured after years of destructive underworld activity. Placed on house arrest in London, Ezekiel continues to conduct business while being guarded, relying on his daughter, Alys Mannings, for support. Under government protection is Nick Murch, Ezekiel’s ex-employee and a skittish man who witnessed the gangster murder a subordinate, scooped up by Special Agent Roberts, who wants to use this testimony to put the bad man away for the rest of his life. On her way to Nick’s hotel with a special courtroom camera is The Courier, an enigmatic motorcycle-riding professional who’s the best at what she does. Arriving at the destination to drop off the equipment, The Courier soon realizes she’s in the middle of an assassination attempt, with ringleader Bryant attempting to kill Nick. Saving the frightened man’s life, The Courier tries to lead Nick out of the building, only to end up in a standoff with Bryant’s goons inside a parking garage.

In London, a witness, Nick Murch, is about to bring down Ezekiel Mannings, an international drug lord arrested and assigned to his home in Washington. Under police protection, he was taken to an undisclosed government location to testify remotely via video conference. In order to prevent his testimony, Mannings managed to secretly introduce some of his men, including agents Bryant and Simmonds, among his security to liquidate him especially since Murch is the only person to have seen him murder people.

When a motorcycle delivery woman discovers that the package she has just left in the safe house in question contains a poisonous gas made with cyanide and that Murch’s bodyguards have been murdered, she manages to defend herself against Mannings’ henchmen and saves the life of the key witness. A former soldier, she decides to put her skills to work and flees with him to the parking lot of the building where they are immediately locked up. She must now survive the onslaught of Mannings’ henchmen, led by Bryant, a corrupt government agent determined to bring Murch down…

A woman who was once called the strongest special forces, but now lives quietly as a carrier. She lost her brother on the battlefield and her sadness couldn’t be healed. One day, during delivery, she is present at the scene where the boss of a giant criminal organization, Mannings, tries to erase Nick, a witness to the murder. The strongest woman in history The Courier, who once belonged to special forces and participated in the destruction operation of the government army in Syria, disappears from the front stage. A few years later, as a deliveryman, one day she witnesses the criminal organization Ezekiel Mannings trying to erase the murder witness Nick Murch. She sprints on her motorcycle to protect her witnesses.

Police special forces storm the church of St. Anthony of Padua in New York. The very heart of the Italian diaspora in modern Manhattan. People in masks and armor, fingers on the triggers. Everyone is waiting for one of the worshipers to get up from his bench, kneel down and take his hands behind his head. This middle-aged bearded man with a bandage over his left eye socket is Ezekiel Mannings. The head of one of the most dangerous criminal organizations on the planet. An arms dealer, on whose conscience the battles in Syria and Ukraine, and, perhaps, the destruction of the Twin Towers.

There is no direct evidence against Mannings. The only witness willing to testify is now in London in the hands of corrupt Interpol agents who intend to eliminate him during transport. But only the plans of the agents instantly collapse when a female courier in a motorcycle helmet is The Courier accidentally appears in the corridor of the spy cache. She rescues the witness and then takes him away with her. By chance this courier appeared here or is it part of someone else’s and still incomprehensible plan?
