The Mission: Impossible film series is one of the longest-running action movie franchises of all time, with the first installment kicking off the franchise almost 30 years ago in 1996. The original Mission: Impossible, which was inspired by the TV show of the same name, centered around a team of elite spies. It grossed over $180 million at the box office, becoming a bonafide hit and kickstarting one of the most iconic action franchises.
Almost 30 years later, with the release of The Final Reckoning, there are now 8 Mission Impossible movies in the film series. At the time of writing, 2018’s Mission: Impossible - Fallout is still the franchise's biggest box office hit, which grossed a whopping $791 million globally. As the unstoppable Ethan Hunt, Tom Cruise has starred in every movie in the franchise, which features many recurring characters such as William Brandt (Jeremy Renner), Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg) and Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames).
The most recent movie in the franchise, The Final Reckoning, follows on directly from the events of Dead Reckoning Part One, which focused on an AI entity that gained sentience, granting whichever governmental power owns it total control of the world. While plans for large franchises like Mission: Impossible are rarely set in stone, The Final Reckoning is intended to be the final movie in the franchise.
