The first trailer for Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol starring Tom Cruise has arrived and finds Cruise's Ethan Hunt teaming up with Jeremy Renner and Paula Patton.

 
Things kick off with a bomb exploding in the Kremlin and the president issuing “ghost protocol.” The entire IMF has been disavowed and Tom Wilkinson has been ordered to escort Cruise and his team to Washington where the blame for the bombing will be placed on their necks. Their mission,  should they choose to accept it, plays out over a quickly edited montage backed by Pink and Eminem’s “Won’t Back Down,”  and culminates with Cruise and Renner in a showdown and panning shots of  Cruise as he scales a high-rise and dives through a window.
Produced by J.J. Abrams and directed by The Incredibles’ Brad Bird, M:I 4 Is slated to hit theaters December 16 and co-stars Josh Holloway, Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames. Take a look at the trailer below and give us your thoughts on the first look at the Cruise/Renner pairing.
