For nearly three decades, Tom Cruise has kept audiences on the edge of their seats with the electrifying ‘Mission: Impossible’ franchise, arguably the most thrilling spy saga since James Bond.
The journey began when writers David Koepp and Robert Towne transformed the 1966 TV series into a blockbuster hit, creating a template that's shaped each subsequent film. At the heart of this franchise is the relentless Ethan Hunt, who, alongside the Impossible Mission Force, is always faced with high-stakes dilemmas threatening national or global security. More often than not, these heroes find themselves not just pursued by ruthless enemies but betrayed by those they once trusted.
As we approach the conclusion of Ethan Hunt's explosive saga, director Christopher McQuarrie is pulling out all the stops with ‘The Final Reckoning’—a finale that aims to not only meet but potentially surpass the extraordinary, pulse-pounding suspense we've come to love over the years. Did he hit the mark? The answer lies in each viewer's personal mission.
In the meantime, let’s take a thrilling trip down memory lane! Here’s a ranking of all eight 'Mission: Impossible' films—from the ones you might want to keep a low profile for to those you'd jump out of a plane just to catch in theaters again!
