An IMF agent is killed in Budapest and his killer, Sabine Moreau, steals the Russian nuclear launch codes to sell to “Cobalt”. Ethan Hunt is extracted from a Moscow prison by his colleagues Jane and Benji. The team is ordered to infiltrate the Kremlin for information on Cobalt, but the latter is already in there, causes multiple explosions and blows their cover before detonating a bomb. Ethan is arrested by an SVR agent and blamed for the bombing. He however escapes from the hospital where he has been brought and meets with the IMF Secretary and analyst William Brandt in Moscow, who identifies Cobalt as Kurt Hendricks, a strategist who wants to start a nuclear war; they determine that Kurt has stolen a Russian launch control device. The Secretary also explains that the President has initiated Ghost Protocol: there is no IMF anymore, Ethan's team will have no support to arrest Kurt. The Secretary is suddenly killed and Ethan escapes with William. They regroup with Jane and Benji and plant to infiltrate the meeting in Dubai between Sabine and Kurt's associate Wistrom: Sabine meets William posing as Wistrom while Jane poses as Sabine meeting Wistrom. The first team scans the documents and sends a modified version to a hidden printer in William's document case. But as Wistrom is accompanied by a cryptographic expert who can identify the fake documents, William has to send the real ones instead. Sabine is killed when she attempts to flee while Wistrom, who is Kurt in disguise, manages to escape during a sand storm. Ethan then meets an arms dealer who reveals that Kurt plans to launch the missiles using an old Soviet military satellite owned by Brij Nath, an Indian media tycoon in Mumbai. The team travels there and Jane first seduces Brij, then forces him to reveal the satellite's override code. The team then pursues Kurt to a broadcasting station, but the latter manages to get a missile launched to San Francisco. After a chase in an automated car parking building, Ethan recovers the launch control device and disable the missile just before detonation. The SVR agent, who got the same information as Ethan from the arms dealer arrives soon after and realises Ethan is innocent of the bombing.
