The 6th installment of Mission: Impossible is also somehow the best (tying it with Ghost Protocol), mostly because it pays off some longstanding story issues and further develops the character past the two-dimensional archetype with indestructible plot armor. This time the threat of nuclear war is at stake, but don't worry, Ethan Hunt is on the case and no mission is too impossible.
It features the typical extravagant action set pieces fans have come to expect (Tom Cruise actually broke his ankle during one of the stunts) and maximizes its mileage for the duration of its exhausting two-and-a-half hour runtime.
This was also the film where they decided Henry Cavill having a real mustache was more important than shaving it off for Superman, resulting in some costly reshoots for Justice League and meme-worthy CGI hare-lip screen grabs.
