Directed by J. J. Abrams and starring Tom Cruise, the film opens with IMF agent Ethan Hunt sidelined from field work. He now spends his time training new recruits and lives quietly with his fiancée, Julia Meade, a nurse who has no idea what he really does for a living. His routine changes when operations director John Musgrave approaches Ethan with a special mission. Musgrave wants to rescue Lindsey Farris, one of his protégés, who was captured while investigating arms dealer Owen Davian. For the operation, Musgrave has already assembled a team made up of Declan Gormley, Zhen Lei and Ethan's old partner, Luther Stickell.

Trivia about Mission: Impossible III

It opened in 4,054 theaters across North America, the fourth-biggest opening in history up to that date, behind Shrek 2, Spider-Man 2 and Madagascar.

Paramount equipped 4,500 vending machines from the Los Angeles Times with digital audio players, which were often mistaken for bombs and led police to detonate some of them.

Clint O'Connor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer gave it an A and described it as a first-person shooter video game disguised as a blockbuster summer hit.

Billy Bob Thornton turned down the role of Owen Davian because he didn't want to be typecast as a villain, and the part ended up going to Philip Seymour Hoffman.

It was the first film from a studio to release simultaneously on DVD, HD DVD and Blu-ray, on October 30, 2006.

In some Asian countries, it opened two days before its North American release, and in its first five days it earned 70 million dollars outside the United States.

With an estimated budget of 150 million dollars, it was the most expensive film directed up to that point by a first-time feature director, marking the big-screen debut of J. J. Abrams.

The film grossed 398,479,497 dollars worldwide and finished as the eighth-highest-grossing film of 2006.

Quotes by Mission: Impossible III

[to Luther] In Germany, you asked me what it is I see in Julia. What I see in Julia is life before all this. And it's good.
Well, well, well, if it isn't Mr. "Those who can't do, teach" back in the field. Hey, Ethan -- don't worry. We're gonna get the girl. Or have you been away for so long you've forgotten how good we are?
I know we've joked about it, but I'm always this close on begging you to stop training our people and get your ass back in the field.
(first lines) We put an explosive charge in your head. Does that sound familiar?
Julia Mead: That's how it is with Rick! He's fine, he's fine and suddenly he's naked and hugging everyone.
[before jumping down from the wall of Vatican City] Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
