What is Mission: Impossible II about?

With computer genius Luther Stickell at his side and a beautiful thief on his mind, agent Ethan Hunt races across Australia and Spain to stop a former IMF agent from unleashing a genetically engineered biological weapon called Chimera. This mission, should Hunt choose to accept it, plunges him into the center of an international crisis of terrifying magnitude.

Mission: Impossible 2 is a 2000 American action spy film directed by John Woo from a screenplay by Robert Towne, and produced by and starring Tom Cruise.
