Whether it’s the large screens and incredible lifelike visuals or the heart-pounding precision audio and unique auditorium design, everything in an IMAX theatre is custom designed to draw fans into the action.

Ending on a literal cliffhanger, having just survived a vast locomotive plunging off a bridge, Ethan Hunt and his fellow IMF team members – Ving Rhames’ Luther, Simon Pegg’s Benji, and converts to the cause, Grace, played by Hayley Atwell – face an uncertain future.

Pursued by agents Briggs and Degas (Shea Whigham and Greg Tarzan Davis respectively) and up against Esai Morales’ Gabriel, and requiring the help of former nemesis Paris, played by Pom Klementieff, the odds against Ethan and his team are higher than ever as they struggle to retrieve the only possible weapon that can defeat The Entity – one sitting under the polar ice cap at the bottom of the Bering Sea in the wreck of a sunken Russian submarine – The Sevastopol.
