Movies that feel likeMission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011)

Ethan Hunt and his team are racing against time to track down a dangerous terrorist named Hendricks, who has gained access to Russian nuclear launch codes and is planning a strike on the United States. An attempt to stop him ends in an explosion causing severe destruction to the Kremlin and the IMF to be implicated in the bombing, forcing the President to disavow them. No longer being aided by the government, Ethan and his team chase Hendricks around the globe, although they might still be too late to stop a disaster.

If you loved Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, the closest films we have are GoldenEye (1995), The Grey (2012) and The Wolf's Call (2019). All three share Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol's kinetic and tense feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Plane (2023).

Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables -- but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy.
