If you connect in this way (sideways), you generally go down sideways instead of jumping straight down like in the movie
47. When preparing to meet the arms dealer, Ethan's iPhone 4 shows AT&T's US carrier. But in essence, the operator network in Dubai is Etisalat

Before 2011, after "Mission: Impossible 3", several of Tom's films were not satisfactory, even movies like "War of the Worlds" could not save his previous reputation. "Mission: Impossible 4" changed the trend, using fierce fighting and thrilling plot to bring Tom back to the ranks of Hollywood's first-line stars.
After sorting out these "easter eggs", I found that there are still many loopholes in the movie. For example, you don't know why Tom can climb up and down the Burj Khalifa like a cleaner without being discovered. The film's overwhelmed response to various crises also makes the audience have no time to think about these loopholes in this relatively fast pace. The most important thing is that "Mission Impossible 4" was released during the Spring Festival. How many years have we not been in a foreign language film during the Spring Festival?
