The Burj Khalifa climbed by Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol is 828 metres tall.
The Dubai skyscraper is the world’s tallest building, and its height made it a natural centerpiece for one of the series’ most recognizable practical stunts. In Ghost Protocol, Ethan scales the exterior of the tower while wearing specialized climbing gloves and trying to reach a restricted area.
The building opened in Dubai in 2010 and was originally known during construction as Burj Dubai. Its official height is 828 metres, including its architectural pinnacle. The film’s sequence was shot partly on the actual building and partly with controlled production methods, combining real exterior photography with visual effects and studio work.
The height is sometimes rounded to 830 metres in casual descriptions. The precise architectural figure is 828 metres, making that the appropriate answer for a factual trivia question.
