Ethan Hunt, watch out, you’ve got some serious competition! Ja-Ja Korda (Benicio Del Toro) is a real go-getter: he can walk out of a plane after it’s depressurized and land on a field with the grace of a Hitchcock agent. The course is set for the northwest and then south through the southeast, but Corda is not a spy (or not only a spy!), but an entrepreneur who skillfully manipulates transport logistics, economic growth, and political loyalty. Of course, such a powerful and seemingly invulnerable figure could not help but make enemies: competitors have raised the price of rivets, and now the entire production model in the impoverished fictional country of Phoenicia could collapse if an agreement is not reached with investors on concessions.

Ja-Ja decides not to go to the negotiations alone, but in the company of his potential heiress Lisle (Mia Triplton), who dreams of becoming the Lord’s wife rather than taking the throne of the empire. The duo is joined by their teacher Bjorn (the hilarious Michael Cera), who is fascinated by zoology and Lisle.
