Ethan (Tom Cruise), Benji (Simon Pegg) and Luther (Ving Rhames) are out to purchase plutonium before terrorists can get it. However, the mission goes bad and Ethan risks the plutonium to save Luther. Though he saves Luther, the plutonium is in the wind. Though they have a backup plan, CIA demands to have an agent along. August Walker (Henry Cavill) is a CIA assassin who does not play well with others. The new plan is to get the plutonium before Solomon Lane's (Sean Harris) - main villain from Rogue Nation - network gets it; the plan requires freeing Lane from French custody.
The movie is a long action romp that demonstrates Tom Cruise's athleticism and willingness to perform stunts. He flies a helicopter, jumps out of a plane, rides a motorcycle against traffic, and leaps from roof to roof (during which he broke his ankle and delayed the film). Tom isn't the only one to have an action-packed adventure. Simon Pegg is more hands on than in previous films. Rebecca Ferguson also returns from Rogue Nation and she is both adversary and ally. Henry Cavill has a complex role that is similar to Ferguson - adversary and ally, which shows more range in his acting than his Superman gig.
Fallout is non-stop and surprisingly good story-telling. Though it is two and a half hours long, the time goes quickly. The pacing is excellent and it has no slow parts. Well made film. Go see it.
