In which 2000 movie did Tom Cruise play the character Ethan Hunt?

In the 2000 movie Mission: Impossible II, Tom Cruise played Ethan Hunt.

Mission: Impossible II is the second film in the Mission: Impossible series and was directed by Hong Kong filmmaker John Woo. Cruise returned as Ethan Hunt, an agent of the Impossible Missions Force, who is assigned to stop rogue IMF operative Sean Ambrose from releasing a genetically engineered disease called Chimera.

The film pairs Hunt with Nyah Nordoff-Hall, a professional thief played by Thandiwe Newton, formerly credited as Thandie Newton. Ving Rhames also returned as computer hacker Luther Stickell, a recurring ally throughout the franchise. The story moves through locations including Seville and Sydney and emphasizes elaborate stunt work, gunplay, motorcycle action, and Woo’s signature slow-motion style.

The title is often written as Mission: Impossible 2 in ordinary references, but its official onscreen styling is Mission: Impossible II, with the abbreviation M:I-2 also used. It should not be confused with the 1996 original film or Mission: Impossible III, which followed in 2006. The sequel was the highest-grossing film worldwide in 2000.
