The film, directed by J.J. Abrams in his feature directorial debut, follows Cruise's spy Ethan in his retirement from field work in the Impossible Missions Force (IMF). Ethan trains new recruits and is engaged to Monaghan's Julia Meade, a nurse who is unaware of Ethan's history as a spy.
As Ethan thinks his life is finally settling down, he is sent back into action to track down an elusive arms dealer, Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman).
