Tom Cruise is back to save the world — again — as Ethan Hunt in “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation,” the fifth installment of the blockbuster spy series.
The action hero was joined by his fellow stars of the hit franchise for the film’s New York City premiere at Duffy Square in Times Square on Monday, where they proved that their secret agents were just as stylish as James Bond.
Cruise, who looked suave in a blue suit, walked the red carpet alongside Jeremy Renner, female leads Rebecca Ferguson and America Olivo, Alec Baldwin (with wife Hilaria), Simon Pegg, producer J.J. Abrams and director Christopher McQuarrie.
“Rogue Nation” also stars Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, a member of Hunt’s crack team of Impossible Mission Force operatives.
The fifth film sees the same exhilarating stunts — such as Cruise hanging off the side of an airplane during take-off — we’ve come to expect from “Mission Impossible,” along with incoming CIA chief Hunley (Baldwin) attempting to disband the force. The action takes the agents to London with Hunt in pursuit of The Syndicate, a shadowy team of terrorists responsible for a series of seemingly random disasters and assassinations.
“Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation” hits theaters on Friday, July 31.
