Mission: Impossible II

Based on the perennial favorite TV series created by Bruce Geller and following the successful first film in 1996, Mission: Impossible II stars, once again, Tom Cruise as agent Ethan Hunt as he chooses to accept his next mission, code name: Chimera. He is told, through those really cool talking sunglasses, that he must choose as one of his team members, civilian Nyah Nordoff-Hall (Newton), a highly capable high-tech thief. (Of course, this sets up the PG-13-level steamy love story that adds a bit of emotional sizzle to the adventure.) Sean Ambrose (Scott), a fellow IM agent has double-crossed the force and made off with a secret formula that could kill off all of humanity. He hopes to sell it to the highest bidder. And what of Nyah? Turns out, she wasn't hired for her skills as a thief. As Ethan is told by the head of the force (Anthony Hopkins), she broke Sean's heart, and it is assumed if she renews her love affair with him, she can lead Ethan and his team to the formula. But what about Ethan and Nyah...? As The Spy Movie Soap Opera Turns.... (Laurie Sevano)
