Mission: Impossible – Fallout

2018 film by Christopher McQuarrie

Mission: Impossible – Fallout is a 2018 American action film in which Ethan teams up with CIA assassin August Walker to recover three plutonium cores, which the villainous Syndicate intends to use for a simultaneous nuclear attack on the Vatican, Jerusalem and Mecca, Saudi Arabia. This spirals into a chaotic web of intrigue which will test not only the foundations of the IMF, but Ethan himself. It is the sixth installment in the Mission: Impossible series.

Ethan Hunt

edit
  • Open your chute when the system says -- not before, and definitely not after. Or the last thing that goes through your mind will be your kneecaps.
  • What's done is done when we say it's done.

August Walker

  • (re: Mask Machine) People actually fall for this shit?
  • If you have a problem with my methods, you can always stay behind. "Your mission, should you choose to accept it." Isn't that the thing?
  • It's just the job. No hard feelings.
  • Why did you have to make this so fucking complicated?!

Others

edit
  • Erika Sloane: You use a scalpel. I prefer a hammer.
  • Solomon Lane: Terrorists are schoolboys desperate for attention, hoping to shape public opinion through fear. I don't care in the least what people think or feel. In my experience, they don't do either for very long.

Dialogue

edit
The European: I have survived in this business with the help of a voice in my head. This voice is never wrong, and whenever I meet you, it tells me the same thing...
Ethan: What's that?
The European: Nothing.
Ethan: I'm here to do business. Tell the voice to flip a coin.

Sloane: The IMF is Halloween, Alan. A bunch of grown men in rubber masks playing trick-or-treat. (regarding Ethan) And if he’d held on to the plutonium in Berlin, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
Hunley: And his team would be dead.
Sloane: Yes. They would. That's the job.

Lane: "There cannot be peace without first a great suffering. The greater the suffering, the greater the peace."
Walter / Lark: When I wrote those words, I wasn’t referring to your peace, or Hunt’s suffering. The old world order needs dismantling and we have the tools to dismantle it. All you seem to care about is that Hunt lives to take the blame. That’s not anarchy. That’s revenge.
Lane: Yes, it is. And when I have what I want, the Apostles will give you the Plutonium.
[Walker turns to leave, frustrated, then doubles back:]
Walker: Hunt's the only friend you've got! You’re only alive today because he didn’t have the guts to kill you. Sloane was right. The IMF is nothing but Halloween. Nothing but grown men wearing...
[Walker turns and looks at the mask machine on the table. Lane looks back nervously.]
"Lane": ...what?
[Walker turns to Lane, studies him. After a beat, he lunges, grabs Lane’s scalp with both hands and tears his face down the middle TO REVEAL: BENJI.]
Benji: It's just the job. No hard feelings.

Ethan: The only real threats are in this room, and we have them.
[Tense pause. Walker turns to Ethan, a confident look in his eye.]
Walker: Do you? Go.
