Action-hero Tom Cruise who plays Ethan, the spy, was the main attraction. The presence of Cruise's co-stars in the film, Simon Pegg, Paula Patton and Lea Seydoux, was a treat for MI-fans.

Cruise was seen talking to fans and posing for photographers as he arrived at the BFI.

The star-studded premiere was attended by model Caprice Bourret, X-Files star Gillian Anderson and Daily Mirror journalist Richard Hammond and Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson.

"Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol," a sequel to the Mission Impossible series, will be released on Boxing Day in the UK.
