A secret agent is sent to find and destroy a genetically modified disease called "Chimera".



IMF agent Ethan Hunt has been sent on a mission to retrieve and destroy the supply of a genetically created disease called 'Chimera'. His mission is made impossible due to the fact that he is not the only person after samples of the disease. He must also contest with a gang of international terrorists headed by a turned bad former IMF agent who has already managed to steal the cure called 'Bellerophon' and now need 'Chimera' to complete their grand plan of infecting the whole world. In order to infiltrate and locate the terrorist group he relies on the help of an international thief Nyah of whom he quickly develops a love interest. Time is not only running out for Agent Hunt to find and destroy 'Chimera' before the terrorists get their hands on it, but he must also find 'Bellerophon' so as to save his love interest who has already become infected by the disease from a terrible and rapid death. Written by Javert-5



A scientist, who is a friend of IMF agent Ethan Hunt, who is in Sydney, wants him to escort him to Atlanta, which he does. While on the plane something bizarre happens and Ethan kills the scientist. It is then revealed that Ethan is not Ethan but someone posing as him. He and his cohorts jump out of the plane and then proceed to crash it into a mountain. The real Ethan is then summoned by his superior for a mission but before undertaking it he is instructed to recruit a woman named Nyah Hall, who is a thief to help them. He does and goes to meet his boss who tells him about his friend and the crash. He then tells him since Ethan was unavailable he sent another agent Sean Ambrose who like Ethan is a disguise expert. They then conclude that Ambrose was the one who crashed the plane and took what his friend was carrying, which he called Chimera. Ethan's mission is to get it back. He is then told that Nyah's Sean's old girlfriend and that he wants her back. Ethan is hesitant because it seems that the two of them have connected but is convinced that she is their best chance to find Ambrose, so he asks her and she agrees. Written by rcs0411@yahoo.com

SYNPOSIS

In Sydney, Australia, a Russian scientist named Nekhorvich is working in his laboratory. While working on three sample cultures, Nekhorvich mentally laments in his participation in creating such a dangerous force of nature. Nekhorvich, a molecular biologist, while attempting to create the ultimate cure, "Bellerophon", in order to create his "hero", he had to create what every hero requires; a villain, and the "villain" he created was a super-virus named "Chimera", after the Greek hero's nemesis. Nekhorvich, having weeks to plan, decides to journey to Atlanta and give "Chimera" to the U.S. Government, in order to expose his employers' criminal plans. Nekhorvich then destroys two of the three cultures of "Chimera", and then injects the third into his arm, using his own body as a petri dish. With 20 hours before "Chimera" advances to the point "Bellerophon" won't be able to save him, Nekhorvich summons his old friend Ethan Hunt to escort him to Atlanta. While suffering from the virus's effects, Nekhorvich makes it onto a Boeing 747. When the plane reaches the Colorado Rockies, the plane is seized by unknown agents and all of the passengers and plane crew anesthetized, except for Nekhorvich, who suspected something is wrong. This is tragically well-founded, as "Ethan" then knocks Nekhorvich out and snaps his neck, killing him, and then takes his briefcase, which contains other "Chimera" samples. "Ethan" rips off his face mask, revealing he is Sean Ambrose, an IMF Agent as are his team, who then set the plane to crash before jumping from the plane by skydiving.

Meanwhile, in Texas, the real Ethan is climbing to the top of a steep cliff using nothing but chalk to get his hands enough friction. Soon, with only a modicum of difficulty, Ethan reaches the top. No sooner has he reached it that an IMF helicopter arrives and fires a rocket at him, which lands beside him un-exploded, and deposits a pair of sunglasses that contain a message from his immediate superior; a kindly old IMF Official named Michael. Michael informs Ethan that Ambrose and his team have gone rogue, and he is to assemble a team of his own and report to Seville for his briefing and more details. While two of his three-man-team are of his choice, the last must be Nyah Nordoff-Hall, a civilian, yet highly-professional & expert thief, but Ethan is not told why she must be included. The sunglasses then self-destruct five seconds later.

Nyah remains a fugitive from multiple law-enforcement agencies around the world, but Ethan catches her in the attempt to steal a valuable diamond necklace (using intelligence Michael provided in the briefing), but Hall refuses to let him speak. Ethan tracks her down in his car, and Ethan and Nyah have a semi-friendly car chase, which ends in them almost crashing and falling from a steep cliff-edge. Ethan saves Nyah before her car falls from the cliff. Aroused by his kindness, Nyah agrees to hear him out and sleeps with him.

Later that evening, Ethan meets Michael in the local IMF office. Michael tells Ethan of Nekhorvich's death, along with that of Gradsky, Nekhorvich's assistant who died some time earlier. Ambrose was sent by Michael to assume Ethan's image and escort Nekhorvich to the United States, as Ethan himself failed to mention where he was going on holiday and so couldn't be reached. The IMF knows virutally nothing about what Chimera or Bellerophon is, or what Ambrose is planning. Ethan's mission is to find out and stop him. Nyah is to be an inside agent, as she had a relationship with Ambrose that she eventually ended and Ambrose has been desperately wanting her back ever since.

Nyah, after realizing Ambrose's actions have led to people's deaths, agrees to the plan, and Ethan arranges for her to be falsely arrested, and information on this to be sent to Ambrose. As Ethan predicts, Ambrose arranges for Nyah's freedom and for her to be brought to his secret compound on an island of Sydney. Ambrose completely believes Nyah truly wanted to return to him for his actions, but Ambrose's right-hand man, Hugh Stamp, remains vigilant and suspicious. Nyah is forced to seduce Ambrose to solidify his trust in her. All the while, her progress is monitored by Ethan and his team-mates; his old friend Luther Stickell, and the semi-eccentric Australian Billy Baird.

Eventually, at a race track, Ambrose is caught talking to John C. McCloy, the ruthless CEO of Biocyte, the corporation that employed Nekhorvich. Though nothing is heard, McCloy is shown a disk of the effects of "Chimera" on Gradsky, which occur 20 hours after exposure. Nyah is able to get Billy a copy of the disk, but Ambrose notices her putting it back. However, he pretends to remain in the dark about her allegiances.

McCloy is abducted by the IMF team and, doped up on drugs and setting up a fake hospital room, McCloy believes he is infected with Chimera, and is visited by Nekhorvich's ghost. Nekhorvich manipulates McCloy into revealing he ordered Chimera to be developed as a bioweapon for profitable military applications, and then bought the services of Ambrose and his team to steal the virus back after Nekhorvich's theft and escape, but now Ambrose has become ambitious, and is demanding McCloy pay £37 Million for the virus samples, to which he agreed to. McCloy then passes out due to knockout gas.

At the same time, Nyah is summoned to a meeting with Ethan, who has briefly broken into the compound to give further instructions.

As it turns out, "Nekhorvich's ghost" was the real Ethan gaining details on Ambrose's plans, while the "Ethan" at the compound is Ambrose himself, who now knows of Nyah's allegiances (especially when Nyah tried to come onto him). Ambrose and Stamp plan for Nyah to be bait for Ethan.

In the end, after additional betrayals and a lengthy bike chase, Ambrose is killed and Chimera destroyed.
