Mission: Impossible – Fallout Trivia Questions & Answers
1) Who plays Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018)?
Correct Answer: Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise returns once again as Ethan Hunt, the fearless field agent of the IMF. Cruise is known for performing his own stunts, adding authenticity and intensity to the franchise. In Fallout, his portrayal is more human, more vulnerable — but just as relentless.
2) What is the name of the organization Ethan Hunt works for?
Correct Answer: IMF (Impossible Mission Force)
The IMF (Impossible Mission Force) is a covert government agency responsible for tackling threats no one else can. The team works off the grid and often without official sanction, which creates recurring conflicts with other global intelligence agencies like the CIA.
3) Which actor plays the CIA agent August Walker?
Correct Answer: Henry Cavill
Henry Cavill joins the cast as August Walker, a muscular, mustachioed CIA operative assigned to monitor Ethan. His imposing physicality and secret motives make him a formidable presence, and his infamous “arm reload” moment during a bathroom fight became a meme-worthy highlight.
4) What iconic stunt does Tom Cruise perform himself in this film?
Correct Answer: HALO jump
Cruise performed a real-life High Altitude Low Opening (HALO) parachute jump for the film — one of the most dangerous stunts ever done on camera. He jumped from over 25,000 feet, wearing a custom helmet that concealed lighting and oxygen equipment while acting mid-air.
5) What is the name of the group threatening global destruction in the film?
Correct Answer: The Apostles
The Apostles are a rogue splinter group formed from the remnants of the Syndicate (featured in Rogue Nation). They follow anarchistic ideals and seek to plunge the world into chaos through coordinated terror attacks — including nuclear bombings.
6) Who is revealed to be the true identity of John Lark?
Correct Answer: August Walker
Throughout the film, Ethan Hunt is suspected of being the mysterious terrorist “John Lark,” but it’s ultimately revealed that August Walker is the real Lark. This twist reshapes the conflict and turns the CIA’s own agent into the film’s primary antagonist.
7) What city is featured during the intense motorcycle chase sequence?
Correct Answer: Paris
The breathtaking motorcycle chase through Paris is one of the film’s most memorable action sequences. Ethan speeds through traffic, weaves between cars, and avoids pursuers with the Arc de Triomphe and other landmarks in the background — all performed by Cruise himself.
8) Which recurring villain returns in this film?
Correct Answer: Solomon Lane
Solomon Lane, portrayed by Sean Harris, returns from Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation. Once the leader of the Syndicate, he’s now imprisoned but still exerts influence over global events. His cold demeanor and intellectual villainy add depth to the conflict.
9) What type of bomb are the terrorists planning to use?
Correct Answer: Plutonium nuclear bombs
The Apostles acquire stolen plutonium to build nuclear bombs capable of devastating major cities. These bombs serve as the film’s central ticking clock, pushing Ethan and his team to race against time to stop a catastrophic detonation.
10) How does Ethan ultimately stop the bombs from detonating?
Correct Answer: He removes the detonator at the last second
In true Ethan Hunt fashion, the climax ends with a suspenseful countdown. While his team defuses the two bombs on the ground, Ethan retrieves and disables the remote detonator midair while hanging from a helicopter — stopping the bombs just seconds before detonation.
