Show "You have a wife, girlfriend? Because you know what I'm gonna do next? I'm gonna find her, whoever she is, I'm gonna find her and I'm gonna hurt her. I'm gonna make her bleed, and cry, and call out your name, and you're not going to be able to do shit, you know why? 'Cause you're gonna be this close to dead. And then I'm gonna kill you right in front of her." —Owen Davian (while captive) Mission: Impossible III is a 2006 action spy thriller film and the Mission: Impossible film series starring Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt. Ethan is in semi-retirement, only training new agents, and is engaged to Julia Meade (Michelle Monaghan), a nurse who thinks he works for the Virginia Department of Transportation. He is convinced to come out of retirement when he learns that one of his students has been captured. After the simultaneous success and failure of that mission, he takes over the student's case: tracking down the whereabouts of an elusive arms dealer named Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman), who is looking for an unspecified item known as the "Rabbits Foot." The big-screen directing debut of J. J. Abrams (who also co-scripted and did a bit of digital work), this film falls back to cloak-and-dagger tricks, with the action being more through time-frame constrictions or compromised missions, and even takes time to develop its characters. Though not intended to be so, it's also a Soft Reboot of the film canon — it's worth noting that the next film, Ghost Protocol, doubles the number of reappearing characters — which might explain why Abrams has since been entrusted with relaunching two more major franchises. Followed by Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. This film provides examples of:
"I need you to trust me." Who is the mole in Mission Impossible 3?Musgrave reveals himself as the mole, having arranged for Davian to acquire the Rabbit's Foot to sell to a terrorist group so the IMF would have reason to launch a preemptive strike.
What happened at the end of Mission Impossible 3?Julia fights off and kills a henchman, then Musgrave, who is carrying the Rabbit's Foot. She resuscitates Ethan, who finally explains his IMF career to her. Back in the US, Brassel and others congratulate Ethan as he leaves for his honeymoon with Julia.
Who dies Mission: Impossible?Unfortunately, that's when everything goes inextricably wrong. Over their radio frequency, Ethan hears his teammate Jack (Emilio Estevez, uncredited), dying from getting impaled on a spike after losing control of the elevator he had been riding all night, which also happens to be the one Golitsyn used to escape.
Why is Nyah not in Mission Impossible 3?Nyah Nordoff-Hall was portrayed by British actress Thandie Newton in Mission: Impossible II. Newton stated that she would not be returning for the sequal Mission: Impossible III in order to focus on her family.
