Where was Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1 filmed?
During production, filming took place in a number of locations, with some famous cities such as Rome and Venice playing themselves – the former during a thrilling and sometimes comedic car chase and the latter for various scenes including a late-night combat sequence.
Meanwhile, other filming locations in the film are moonlighting as other places – with one such example being the sequence in the film's opening act at Abu Dhabi International Airport.

Although for exterior shots the real airport was used, much of the sequence was actually shot at Birmingham Grand Central Rail Station – a fair distance away from the United Arab Emirates!
Meanwhile, the already iconic motorbike cliff jump stunt was performed on location in Helsetkopen, Norway while the train scenes during that same climactic sequence were shot at Levisham, North Yorkshire – playing the role of the Swiss Alps – and also in Hellesy, Norway.
Other scenes for the film were shot in studios, with Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden and Longcross Film Studios in Surrey both being used.
