Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol Blu-ray (Updated)

In April, Paramount Home Media Distribution will bring Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol to Blu-ray. The fourth installment in the popular franchise, this blockbuster adventure finds IMF agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise, Collateral) searching for Kurt Hendricks (Michael Nyqvist, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), a megalomaniacal terrorist intent on global destruction.

Falsely implicated in a disastrous bombing and on the run from government agents, Ethan and his field team (Paula Patton, Déjà Vu, and Simon Pegg, Shaun of the Dead) find themselves allied with an IMF analyst (Jeremy Renner, The Town) carrying mysterious motives for helping Ethan.

Directed by Brad Bird (The Incredibles), Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol co-stars Anil Kapoor (Slumdog Millionaire), Léa Seydoux (Robin Hood), Josh Holloway (Lost), and Tom Wilkinson (Michael Clayton).
