Overview
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.

Center
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around preventing a global nuclear war, which is a universally apolitical objective. Its solution emphasizes individual heroism, teamwork, and competence in the face of a disavowed government agency, which are genre conventions rather than explicit political endorsements.
The movie incorporates visible diversity within its cast, featuring actors from various backgrounds in significant roles. However, it does not involve explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white characters, nor does its narrative critically portray traditional identities or center on explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses entirely on its core espionage plot and character dynamics without incorporating elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The film features female characters like Jane Carter and Sabine Moreau who participate in action sequences. However, their direct physical combat encounters are either against other female characters or involve the use of firearms, which falls outside the specified criteria for close-quarters physical victories against male opponents.
This film is a direct continuation of an existing film series. All returning legacy characters maintain their established genders, and new characters introduced in this installment do not qualify as gender swaps.
All returning legacy characters maintain their established racial portrayals from previous installments. New characters introduced in this film do not qualify as race swaps per the given definition.
