Isham decided to create four mini-movies within the video, following each member of the band through his own story. Throughout those stories, the video features Metallica jamming "I Disappear" alone on a huge rock in Monument Valley. Connecting the video to Mission: Impossible II, Isham also included footage of Tom Cruise, the main character of the Mission: Impossible film franchise.
The single for "I Disappear" was only officially released in Germany, but of course, the track spurred the very public debate between Metallica and Napster after an unfinished version of the song was found on the file-sharing network.
