IMF agent [[Ethan Hunt]] is extracted from a Moscow prison, along with an asset named Bogdan, by Hanaway's handler and girlfriend Jane Carter and newly-promoted field agent Benji Dunn. The team is ordered to infiltrate the [[Moscow Kremlin|Kremlin]] for information on Cobalt. While they are inside, Cobalt blows the team's cover and they escape before a bomb destroys much of the Kremlin. Jane and Benji escape, but Ethan is arrested by [[Foreign Intelligence Service (Russia)|SVR]] agent Anatoly Sidorov and is blamed for the bombing. | ||
Ethan escapes and meets with the IMF Secretary, who is in Moscow with analyst William Brandt. Brandt identifies Cobalt as Kurt Hendricks, a strategist seeking [[nuclear war]] between the U.S. and Russia. They determine that Hendricks bombed the Kremlin to cover his theft of a Russian launch control device. The Secretary explains that the President has initiated "Ghost Protocol", disavowing the entire IMF. He instead orders Ethan to continue pursuing Cobalt before they are suddenly attacked by Sidorov's forces and the Secretary is killed. Ethan escapes with Brandt and regroups with Jane and Benji. They plan to infiltrate a meeting between Hendricks' associate, Wistrom, and Moreau at the [[Burj Khalifa]] in [[Dubai]] where Wistrom will buy the stolen launch codes. Wistrom is accompanied by Leonid Lisenker, a Polish cryptographer who is blackmailed by Hendricks to authenticate the codes. | Ethan escapes and meets with the IMF Secretary, who is in Moscow with analyst William Brandt.

The IMF team plans to intercept the codes by faking two meetings: Ethan and Brandt posing as Wistrom and Lisenker to receive the codes from the real Moreau while, one floor away, Jane poses as Moreau, passing counterfeit ones to the real Wistrom and Lisenker. However, because of Lisenker's ability to identify fakes, they are forced to give the real codes, relying on radioactive [[isotopes]] on the paper to track Wistrom afterwards. Completing the buy, Wistrom murders Lisenker while Moreau, having deduced that the buy is a setup, attempts to escape, but inadvertently gets into a fight with Jane, who kicks her out a window to her death. Sidorov nearly apprehends Ethan, whom he knocks down. | The IMF team plans to intercept the codes by faking two meetings: Ethan and Brandt posing as Wistrom and Lisenker to receive the codes from the real Moreau while, one floor away, Jane poses as Moreau, passing counterfeit ones to the real Wistrom and Lisenker.

Brandt admits to Jane and Benji that he resigned as a field agent after failing to protect Julia Meade, Ethan's wife, from a hit. Ethan is taken by Bogdan to the Fog, an arms dealer, and learns that Hendricks is buying an obsolete Soviet military satellite from Indian media tycoon Brij Nath. The Fog later gives the same information to Sidorov, in return for clearing his [[rap sheet]]. In [[Mumbai]], Jane [[seduces]] Nath, then overpowers him to get the satellite's override code; the team then pursues Hendricks and Wistrom to one of Nath's broadcast stations to stop him from sending the codes via the satellite. | ||

Benji, Brandt, and Jane attempt to repair the station while Ethan pursues Hendricks. Cornered by Ethan, Hendricks jumps to his death in order to place the launch device out of reach. After Benji kills Wistrom, Jane reconnects the system and Ethan successfully retrieves the launch device to disable the missile moments before detonation. Sidorov and his men arrive, only to realise that Ethan was giving him clues to track them and that the IMF was innocent of the Kremlin bombing, and offers Ethan a ride to the hospital. | ||
In [[Seattle]], Ethan assembles his team for another mission given by [[Luther Stickell]]. Brandt confesses his failure to protect Julia, but Ethan reveals that she is alive and her death was staged to give her a new identity safely away from him, and to let him infiltrate the prison to find Bogdan. A relieved Brandt accepts his mission and agrees to become an agent again. Julia arrives at the harbour and spots Ethan watching her from a distance, as they share a warm smile.
