But when the violence of oppressors meets the rage of the marginalised, the contagion explodes from the trial-city borders and spreads across the nation on the night that gives rise to America’s twelve hours of annual lawlessness.

Jean Thomas, aka The Nurse, is the manager of the Hotel Artemis, an ultra-exclusive, members-only hospital hidden in a hotel redolent of faded 20s glamour. One night, as a violent riot rages on the streets of Los Angeles, legendary crime boss Orian Franklin, aka Niagara, arrives needing immediate treatment after a failed attempt on his life.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT

3D IN CERTAIN CINEMAS

NEW MISSION. IMPOSSIBLE HEIGHTS. With Ethan Hunt's loyalty under question, notorious Hollywood daredevil Tom Cruise puts his body back on the line for another stunt-packed adventure where the mission has never been more impossible.

WORDS HARRY FAINT RELEASE DATE 25 JULY / Director Christopher McQuarrie / Starring Tom Cruise, Rebecca Ferguson, Henry Cavill / Genre Action, Adventure, Thriller

T

he Impossible Mission Force team is back on our screens this summer for the sixth exciting instalment of the franchise where, after a mission doesn't go to plan, the world falls into jeopardy, and Hunt's motives come under renewed scrutiny.

Hunt’s troubled past, including every difficult decision he's ever had to make, come back to haunt him in what promises to be a grittier but equally thrilling sequel.

16 July / August 2018

The familiar faces of Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames, and Alec Baldwin all return alongside Cruise to face the fallout from all of Hunt's best intentions, and the wrath of Henry Cavill's moustachioed August Walker: the high-ranking CIA operative tasked with bringing Hunt's mission to an abrupt end.

Despite the increasingly impossible odds, the production has always found a way to top every heart-stopping stunt from the series. After successfully scaling the world's tallest building in Rogue Nation, the only way to go bigger was to go up, and this time the action leads to a hair-raising sequence that takes the franchise to all new heights as Cruise leaps out of a plane at 25,000 feet.

"I Do My Own Stunts" TOM CRUISE During his time as Ethan Hunt, Cruise has made a name for himself performing death-defying stunts, as well as some serious injuries.

During filming for Mission: Impossible - Fallout he missed his landing when jumping between rooftops, breaking his ankle, and halting production for seven weeks.

CHARLIZE THERON The Oscar-winning actress did a lot of her own stunt work for last year’s Cold War spy thriller Atomic Blonde, going so far as to crack two back teeth by clenching them too hard during training. They later had to be removed.

JACKIE CHAN World-renowned for his stunt work, the legendary actor has broken multiple bones during a prolific career spanning fifty years.

ames Bond clichés are set to be shaken and stirred once more in Johnny English Strikes Again, the third entry in everyone’s favourite spy spoof series.

Having already saved the Chinese Premier from international assassins and prevented a corrupt French entrepreneur from claiming the throne, Johnny is called out of retirement yet again, this time to help unearth a mysterious cyberhacker intent on revealing the identities of undercover MI7 agents all over the world.

Anyone who’s witnessed his previous adventures, however, can expect English to do so in only the most catastrophic way possible, with Rowan Atkinson’s skill for physical comedy once again remaining centre stage.

Thankfully, the man for all seasons won’t be alone when tackling this latest disastrous plot.

Joining the fun this time around is Quantum Of Solace bond girl Olga Kurylenko, Emma Thompson as the British PM, and Ben Miller, who makes his long-awaited return as Johnny’s alltoo-faithful assistant, Bough. After all, Johnny will need all the help he can get!

It’s been a whopping seven years since Johnny English Reborn, so expect plenty of new hijinks and mishaps in this secret agent sequel.

Based on the 1960s television series of the same name, this spy action comedy was one of the first-if not the best-movies which saw Steve Carell ascend to leading man status. Get Smart is harmless fun.
