Mission: Impossible (1996 film)-Tamil dubbed

Story Line:
Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is an agent of an Impossible Missions Force (IMF) team, an unofficial branch of the CIA. Led by Jim Phelps (Jon Voight), the team assembles for a mission in Prague to prevent an American diplomat from selling the non-official cover (NOC) list, a comprehensive list of all covert agents in Eastern Europe. The mission goes hopelessly wrong, seemingly resulting in the death of every team member except Hunt. Fleeing the scene, Hunt meets with IMF Director Eugene Kittridge (Henry Czerny) at a café. Kittridge discloses that operation was a setup meant to draw out a mole in the IMF named "Job" who has made a deal to sell the list to an arms dealer known as "Max." Suspicion now falls on Hunt, the only survivor of the mission, who makes a daring escape from the café and flees into the city.
Hunt returns to the IMF safe house, where he discovers that fellow agent Claire Phelps (Emmanuelle Béart), Jim's wife, has survived the mission. Hunt begins email correspondence with Max (Vanessa Redgrave) and meets with her in person to warn her about the fake NOC list—and offers to deliver the real one in exchange for $10 million and a face-to-face meeting with Job. Max agrees and Hunt assembles a team of disavowed agents: computer expert Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames) and pilot Franz Krieger (Jean Reno). Hunt, Stickell, Krieger, and Claire infiltrate the heavily fortified CIA headquarters in Langley and successfully steal the full NOC list before escaping to a safe house in London. There, Hunt discovers that his uncle and mother have been falsely arrested for drug trafficking in an attempt by Kittridge to lure him out of hiding. This infuriates Hunt, and he contacts Kittridge, who offers to drop the charges when Hunt surrenders. Hunt stays on the line long enough for Kittridge to trace him to London, then hangs up to find Jim Phelps standing right next to him.
Phelps, presumed dead in the Prague operation, tells Hunt that Kittridge is the mole and is trying to tie up loose ends. Hunt listens, mentally piecing together the operation and realizing that Phelps himself is Job. Hunt pretends to accept the story, understanding that Krieger has assisted Phelps, but is still doubtful about Claire's place in the conspiracy.
The next day, Max and Hunt arrange to meet aboard the TGV en route to Paris, with Claire and Stickell aboard to provide backup. Kittridge is also aboard, having received tickets and a watch from Hunt. Aboard the train, Hunt delivers the NOC list to Max, who directs him to the baggage car to find his money and Job. Claire arrives in the baggage car to meet with Phelps, revealing her complicity as she suggests that they leave with the money and let Ethan take the blame. "Jim" suddenly peels his face away, revealing himself as Hunt in disguise. They are interrupted by the arrival of the real Phelps: unhinged, armed and demanding that Hunt hand over the money. Hunt does so, but then slowly puts on a pair of glasses from the original operation in Prague, with a camera built into the bridge. The image of Phelps, alive, is transmitted to the video watch carried by Kittridge, exposing Job's true identity.
Claire tries to intervene, and Phelps kills her instead and climbs up to the roof of the car, while Krieger approaches the moving train in a helicopter to extract him. Hunt follows him onto the roof, impeding him and tethering Krieger's helicopter to the train, dragging it into the Channel Tunnel. In the tunnel, Phelps leaps to the helicopter. Hunt follows, climbing the helicopter's landing skids and attaching explosive chewing gum, a final relic of Prague, to the windshield. He leaps back to the train just as the ensuing explosion kills Phelps and Krieger.
Now with custody of the NOC list, Max, and Job's true identity, Kittridge reinstates Stickell and drops his investigation against Hunt, who resigns from the IMF. As he flies home, a flight attendant approaches him and asks, through a coded phrase, if he is ready to take on a new mission.
