Win “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” on Blu-ray, Plus Exclusive Ghost Protocol Swag

NOTE: This sweepstakes has ended. Congratulations to Harvinder Singh of Brampton, Ontario, Canada, the winner of this sweepstakes.

Mission: Impossible started out as a popular TV series in the 60s and 70s but more recently the franchise has been given an an overhaul as a series of blockbuster action films produced by the one and only Tom Cruise. Cruise also stars as agent Ethan Hunt of the IMF (Impossible Missions Force). The fourth installment in the series – Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol – comes out this week on Blu-ray Disc.

Directed by Brad Bird (known for animated hits such as the Oscar-winning Ratatouille and The Incredibles), Ghost Protocol finds Ethan Hunt locked up in a Russian prison at the beginning of the film, and things go downhill from there, but not for the audience — we’re in for a wild ride. With his very existence disavowed by the U.S. government and no support from the home front, Hunt and his ragtag team of agents are all that stand between a fanatic scientist and nuclear Armageddon.

Featuring incredible stunts (performed by Cruise himself, natch) and some amazing gadgets, the latest installment is sure to entertain fans of the series and newbies alike.

When Chris Chiarella reviewed the Blu-ray Disc, he praised the high definition Cinemascope picture as well as the lossless Dolby TrueHD 7.1 channel surround sound. You can read the full details in his Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol Blu-ray review. You can also read what director Brad Bird had to say about working with Tom Cruise (among other topics) in our Q&A with Brad Bird.
