Watch Mission: Impossible - Final Reckoning in IMAX, 4DX: Locations Revealed

The *Mission: Impossible* saga returns once more, this time with what’s being touted as the final chapter—though given Tom Cruise’s well-documented passion for filmmaking and his recent comments about acting into his 100s, it's hard to take “final” at face value. Especially when the Academy Awards just added a long-overdue category for stunts—a year too late for this film to qualify. Irony? Maybe.

Regardless of whether this truly marks the end or not, *Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning* deserves its moment in the spotlight. As one of the most celebrated action franchises in cinematic history, each installment has raised the bar, largely thanks to Cruise’s relentless commitment to practical stunts and big-screen spectacle.

This film picks up where 2023’s *Dead Reckoning* left off, with Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) facing impossible odds as he races to stop a global threat known only as The Entity. True to form, the movie promises jaw-dropping stunts executed by Cruise himself, along with callbacks and references that longtime fans will appreciate.
