In Mission: Impossible III, what is the codename of the mysterious item sought by Owen Davian?

The mysterious item sought by Owen Davian in Mission: Impossible III is called the Rabbit’s Foot.

The Rabbit’s Foot is a highly classified object whose true nature is never fully explained to the audience. Its ambiguity is deliberate: characters treat it as strategically valuable, while the film keeps attention on the danger surrounding its transfer rather than providing a technical description.

Owen Davian’s pursuit of the object drives the second half of the story. Ethan Hunt must recover it during an operation in Shanghai, while also trying to rescue Julia after Davian kidnaps her. The mission connects the film’s personal stakes with its international espionage plot.

The name can be confused with the White Rabbit, a separate phrase used in other popular films and stories. In Mission: Impossible III, the canonical codename is specifically “the Rabbit’s Foot.”
