This will cheer the film's British viewers, who can forget for a moment that the Chunnel train goes that fast only on the French side, since the high-speed tracks on the British side have not yet been completed. Inaugurating the Chunnel, Francois Mitter and wickedly described a traveler "Speeding through France and then enjoying a leisurely view of the British countryside".
No matter. The train goes fast, and the helicopter follows it right under the Channel, and De Palma's special effects by Industrial Light and Magic are clever for obscuring the scale involved, since a helicopter's blades would obviously not fit into the tunnel -- but then why am I quibbling, since the whole stunt is obviously impossible? The bottom line on a film like this is, Tom Cruise looks cool and holds our attention while doing neat things that we don't quite understand -- doing them so quickly and with so much style that we put our questions on hold, and go with the flow.
When the movie is over, it turns out there wasn't anything except the flow. Our consolation, I guess, is that we had fun going with it.

Ethan Hunt is an agent working for the Impossible Mission Force. However, the mission goes wrong and everyone except Hunt is killed. Eugene Kittridge , who reveals that he is in Prague, meets with Hunt in a bar and suspects he is a mole that caused the deaths of his team.
Hunt blows up the bar's fish tank and escapes back to the IMF safe house. As he investigates, he realizes that there is a person called Job and the NOC list was supposed to be delivered to this person. Claire shows up, and the two begin to continue investigating. Hunt meets with Max and tells her the job is compromised. The next day, Hunt and Phelps meet Luther Stickell , whose only request is to keep the equipment when they're done, and Franz Krieger , a skilled knives man.
