About
Ethan Hunt and his team are racing against time to track down a dangerous terrorist named Hendricks, who has gained access to Russian nuclear launch codes and is planning a strike on the United States. An attempt to stop him ends in an explosion causing severe destruction to the Kremlin and the IMF to be implicated in the bombing, forcing the President to disavow them. No longer being aided by the government, Ethan and his team chase Hendricks around the globe, although they might still be too late to stop a disaster.

Confronting Urgency in Mission Scenarios
Ethan Hunt
Failure to a terrorist is just a rehearsal for success. We lose Hendricks today, he finds another way with no IMF to stop him. So it's now or never. Give me the case!
Brandt
Nothing can be left to the chance!
Ethan Hunt
You're the analyst, you tell me there is not another way for Hendricks to get these codes. This is his only avenue right here, right now & today. You tell me that I'll walk away!
