With the premiere happening in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in just one day, Paramount Pictures has provided us with a 3-minute "Sandstorm Chase" clip from director Brad Bird's Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. Starring Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Paula Patton, Josh Holloway, Michael Nyqvist, Vladimir Mashkov, Lea Seydoux and Anil Kapoor, the action thriller opens in IMAX theaters this Friday, December 16, and in conventional theaters next Wednesday, December 21.

In Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, the IMF is shut down when it's implicated in a global terrorist bombing plot. Ghost Protocol is initiated and Ethan Hunt and his rogue new team must go undercover to clear their organization's name. No help, no contact, off the grid. You have never seen a mission grittier and more intense than this.
