Our hero would dive sideways out of the line of fire, with his own two guns blazing. Woo is to action what Fred Astaire was to dance and John Wayne was to winning the West.

Cruise, who did many stunts himself, sports a new long-haired look and a compelling confidence for his return as special agent Ethan Hunt. His assignment, should he choose to accept it, is to expose and defuse a bio-tech conspiracy that threatens our health. They've made the most deadly disease on the planet, and plan to make billions by selling the antidote. Hunt assembles a team for the mission, including computer specialist Luther Stickell. He's played by the always-likable Ving Rhames, the only returnee besides Cruise from the '96 original.
