Tom Cruise and Simon Pegg walked the red carpet in Dubai on Wednesday, for the world premiere of the fourth installment of the "Mission Impossible" franchise. Major segments of the film were shot in the UAE city, so let's head there and get in on the action.

Two-time Academy Award winner Brad Bird directed the film, and the cast includes Jeremy Renner, nominated for an Oscar for his role in the 2008 war film "The Hurt Locker". Other actors in the new film include Simon Pegg and Paula Patton.

Bird won the Oscars for animated films "The Incredibles" and "Ratatouille".

He talked about the biggest obstacles of making a sequel.

Brad Bird, director of "Mission Impossible", said, "One of the challenges of any sequel particularly a third sequel is you have a lot of audience expectation going in but I think you can run straight at those expectations and play with them and zig when the audience are expecting you to zag and I think that's what we did in this movie."

Cruise, 49, returns as super agent Ethan Hunt, saving the world yet again in "Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol" that is packed with stunts and action scenes, and featuring the world's tallest building, Dubai's 828-metre Burj Khalifa.

Cruise is also producing the film with J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk.
