Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One

Tom Cruise, having by some measures saved cinema with Top Gun: Maverick, returns now to Mission: Impossible, now nearing its thirtieth year as a franchise with him at its centre. Hitting sixty himself seems to be no abatement of the risks he’s willing to take in service of grand cinematic spectacle, fighting franchise fatigue with only his megawatt smile and CGI-unassisted stunts.

Following the events of series high watermark Fallout, we pick up with Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and the IMF team in pursuit of a world-ending weapon in the wrong hands. Get ready for motorcycle chases, dramatic running, identities shedded via masks, gadgets, Macguffins and much more from this epic scale summer treat that gives blockbusters a good name.
