Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One

Sign in to edit


Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One[lower-alpha 1] is a 2023 American action spy film directed by Christopher McQuarrie from a screenplay he co-wrote with Erik Jendresen.[6] It is the sequel to Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018) and the seventh installment in the Mission: Impossible film series. It stars Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, alongside an ensemble cast including Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Mariela Garriga and Henry Czerny. In the film, Hunt and his IMF team face off against the Entity, a powerful rogue AI.

In January 2019, Cruise announced the next two Mission: Impossible films would be shot back-to-back, with McQuarrie writing and directing both. Returning and new cast members were announced soon after, and Lorne Balfe, who composed the score for Fallout, returned to score. Filming began in Italy in February 2020 but was halted by the COVID-19 pandemic. It resumed later that year and wrapped in September 2021, with other filming locations including Norway, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates. With an estimated budget of $291 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made.

Dead Reckoning Part One premiered in Rome on June 19, 2023, and was theatrically released in the United States on July 12, by Paramount Pictures. The film received generally positive reviews and grossed $570.6 million worldwide. Despite being the eleventh-highest-grossing film of 2023, its overall budget and competition from the "Barbenheimer" cultural phenomenon resulted in the film becoming a box-office disappointment. Dead Reckoning Part One was nominated in two categories at the 96th Academy Awards and the 77th British Academy Film Awards. A sequel, Mission: Impossible The Final Reckoning, is scheduled for release in May 2025.

Plot[]

The next-generation Russian submarine Sevastopol employs an advanced AI for testing a new navigation system that uses dead reckoning. The AI tricks the crew into firing a torpedo and then turns the torpedo back on the submarine, sinking it and killing all aboard.

IMF agent Ethan Hunt is assigned to retrieve half of a cruciform key from Ilsa Faust, on whom the IMF has placed a bounty. He travels to Saudi Arabia to obtain the half-key from Ilsa. He then infiltrates a meeting of leaders of the U.S. Intelligence Community in Washington, D.C., including CIA Director Eugene Kittridge and Director of National Intelligence Denlinger, to discuss the rogue AI. Calling it the Entity, they recount how it has achieved sentience and infiltrated the major defense, military systems, intelligence, and financial networks of the world. World powers compete to obtain the key to protect their national security and control the Entity, though the exact means of controlling it are unknown. Believing the Entity poses too great a threat to humanity, Ethan seeks to destroy it.

He and his teammates Benji Dunn and Luther Stickell travel to Abu Dhabi International Airport to intercept the holder of the other half-key. Ethan evades U.S. agents as well as Gabriel, an Entity liaison with ties to Ethan's pre-IMF past, while the half-key is stolen by a professional thief named Grace. Luther identifies a suspicious piece of baggage; Benji finds what appears to be a nuclear explosive, but finds it empty after narrowly defusing it. Ethan pursues Grace to Rome. After a lengthy chase, Grace escapes again, while Ethan reunites with Benji, Luther, and Ilsa.

With Benji and Luther providing support, Ethan and Ilsa infiltrate a party held by the arms dealer, Alanna Mitsopolis, in Venice, hoping to find who hired Grace and learn of the key's purpose. Grace encounters Gabriel and learns that Alanna hired her to steal the half-key. Ethan unsuccessfully attempts to dissuade a fearful Alanna from selling it. Gabriel reveals that the Entity has infiltrated the party and determined that one of Ethan's allies, either Ilsa or Grace, will die. They all scatter afterward, with Ethan subduing but sparing Gabriel's subordinate, Paris, while Gabriel subdues Grace and kills Ilsa, devastating Ethan. A remorseful Grace joins Ethan's team, and they prepare to board the Innsbruck-bound Orient Express, where Alanna will meet with her buyer. Luther leaves for an off-grid location to investigate isolated traces of the Entity in his hard drive, warning Ethan not to kill Gabriel out of vengeance, as only Gabriel knows how to use the key.

On the train, Gabriel kills the engine crew and destroys the throttle and brake. He meets Denlinger, who proposes an alliance between himself and the Entity. Denlinger explains that the complete key unlocks the chamber housing the computer of the Sevastopol, which contains the early version of the Entity that can be used to control or destroy it, once and for all. Gabriel kills Denlinger and, suspecting Paris will betray him after Ethan spared her in Venice, attempts to kill her as well. Impersonating Alanna, Grace brings the complete key to Alanna's buyer, revealed to be Kittridge. Though tempted to betray Ethan for $100 million and protection for herself, Grace decides against it, pickpockets the key from Kittridge and flees. Ethan parachutes off a cliff onto the train to save Grace from her pursuers, but Gabriel acquires the key.

Ethan overpowers Gabriel atop the train, but the latter escapes and detonates a bridge ahead. Grace and Ethan detach the locomotive from the rest of the train, saving all the passengers. A revived Paris rescues them from falling off the bridge and reveals the key's connection to the Sevastopol. Ethan flees the train with the complete key, which he had pickpocketed from Gabriel during their skirmish. Grace informs Kittridge that she has chosen to join the IMF.

Production[]

Announcement and casting[]

On January 14, 2019, Tom Cruise announced that the seventh and eighth Mission: Impossible films would be shot back-to-back with Christopher McQuarrie writing and directing both films for July 23, 2021, and August 5, 2022, releases.[16][17] In February 2021, Paramount Pictures scuttled that plan.[18]

In February 2019, Rebecca Ferguson confirmed her return for the seventh installment.[19][20] In September, McQuarrie announced that Hayley Atwell had joined the cast.[21] In September 2019, Pom Klementieff joined the cast of both the seventh and eighth films.[10] In December 2019, Simon Pegg confirmed his return for the film, with Shea Whigham cast of both films.[22][23] Nicholas Hoult was cast in a role in January 2020, along with the addition of Henry Czerny, reprising his role as Eugene Kittridge for the first time since the 1996 film.[24][25] Vanessa Kirby also announced she was returning for both films.[26] In May 2020, it was reported that Esai Morales would replace Hoult as the villain in both films due to scheduling conflicts.[27]

Angela Bassett initially announced that she would return as Erika Sloane in December 2020, but she was later removed from the film due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.[28][29] In March 2021, McQuarrie revealed that Rob Delaney, Charles Parnell, Indira Varma, Mark Gatiss and Cary Elwes had joined the cast.[15] That same day, Greg Davis was also confirmed to have joined the cast.[13]

Filming and COVID-19 shutdown[]

Under the working title Libra,[30] filming was scheduled to begin on February 20, 2020, in Venice, set up to last for three weeks before moving to Rome in mid-March for 40 days,[31][32] but due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy, production in the country was halted.[33] Three weeks later, stunt rehearsals began in Surrey, England, just before a hiatus.[34] On July 6, 2020, after another hiatus, crew arriving in the UK were given permission to begin filming without going through the mandatory 14-day quarantine. The set was located at Warner Bros Studios, Leavesden in Hertfordshire.[35]

The following month, similar permission was granted for filming in Møre og Romsdal, Norway.[36] That same month, a large fire broke out on a motorcycle stunt rig in Oxfordshire. The scene had taken six weeks to prepare and was "among one of the most expensive ever filmed in the U.K." No one was hurt in the incident.[37]

Filming began on September 6, 2020,[38] when McQuarrie started to publish pictures from the sets on Instagram.[39] The film was shot with Sony CineAlta Venice cameras, making it the first film in the Mission: Impossible franchise to be shot digitally. In September 2020, filming took place in Norway, including the municipalities of Stranda and Rauma, with Cruise seen filming an action scene with Esai Morales atop a train.[40] On October 26, 2020, production was halted in Italy after 12 people tested positive for COVID-19 on set. Filming resumed a week later.

In December 2020, during filming in London, an audio recording of Cruise shouting at two production crew members for not following the COVID-19 rules on set was released online.[41] Cruise was likened to his character Les Grossman from Tropic Thunder (2008) as a result.[42][43] The response from the general public and that of many celebrities was supportive, suggesting that his tone and seriousness were warranted given the extreme circumstances and burden of ensuring production not be halted again.[44][45] On December 28, 2020, Variety reported that the film would conclude principal photography at Longcross Film Studios in the United Kingdom, with production shifting from Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden. In Longcross, which is in Surrey in south-east England, productions were allowed to continue under strict COVID-19 protocols.[46] In February 2021, filming concluded in the Middle East and the crew would return to London for "finishing touches".

On April 20, 2021, filming commenced in the small village of Levisham, North Yorkshire, North Yorkshire Moors Railway,[47] for a sequence set in the Alps in Switzerland with a train going 60 miles (97 km) an hour through a bridge being blown up,[48][49] as a reference to the climactic train wreck scene in the silent film The General (1926).[50] In August 2021, filming commenced in Birmingham at the city's Grand Central shopping centre, with Cruise and Atwell spotted by onlookers.[51] In September 2021, the film's gaffer Martin Smith confirmed on Instagram that principal photography had officially wrapped.[52]

Other filming locations for the movie included a terminal still under construction at the Abu Dhabi airport[53] and various sites in the Italian cities of Rome (including the 20-minute long car chase)[54] and Venice.[55]

Polish bridge controversy[]

The 1908 railway bridge over Lake Pilchowickie in southern Poland, a would-be filming location for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One that was in the international spotlight throughout 2020.

The 1908 railway bridge over Lake Pilchowickie in southern Poland, a would-be filming location for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One that was in the international spotlight throughout 2020.

During the pre-production in late 2019, the Swiss government refused to authorize any explosions for the train sequence in the Alps;[56] as a result, the Skydance Media production team embarked on location scoutings in different countries to find an unwanted railway bridge.[49][50] Among those asked to help with staging a "full-scale train crash" was Polish-American film producer Andrew Eksner.[50] In November 2019, the Polish State Railways proposed Eksner use a 151-meter (492 ft) long, 1908 German-era riveted truss bridge on Lake Pilchowickie Template:IPAc-pl [pl; es], in the Jelenia Góra Valley, in Lower Silesia.[57][58] In December 2019, Paramount Pictures producers including McQuarrie landed in southern Poland,[59] accompanied in deep secrecy by officers of the Polish engineering troops.[48] McQuarrie documented the visit on Instagram.[60]

Officially opened in 1912 by Wilhelm II, the proposed bridge survived World War II mostly intact,[61] and was used by trains until 2016.[62] Despite publicly praising the bridge as "extremely valuable,"[63] an expert misrepresented conclusions of a commissioned report,[64] that instead of renovating, it would be best to demolish the bridge and build a new one.[65][66] In March 2020, after the rejected Eksner spread the information,[50] local authorities and museum officials were appalled by the producers' intention to physically destroy the bridge, instead of using CGI effects.[57][67] The filmmakers and government officials said the bridge was intended for demolition.[62]

By July 2020, history and railway enthusiasts, scientists and filmmakers protested, along with the regional Monuments Heritage Office, members of Polish parliament,[62][68] and the International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage.[69] Activists and NGOs launched a petition against the destruction.[70] As it was long registered provincially, and being added into Poland's national Registry of Cultural Property,[67][71] the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage confirmed it was pushing the bridge to play in the movie, with a "small section" to be demolished onset, before revitalizing the related local heritage railway line altogether.[72] Following the backlash,[68][73] the General Conservator of Monuments assured "there was no question" of destroying the bridge.[74]

In August 2020, as the story turned international,[75][76] McQuarrie said there was never a plan to blow up the bridge, and that only unsafe and partially damaged portions could have been destroyed, which allegedly needed to be rebuilt, concluding: "To open up the area to tourism, the bridge needed to go."[77] He later added that "there was no disrespect intended".[78]Template:Bsn The production company did not pledge to cover construction costs of a potential new bridge, nor the renovation of the historic one.[62] Eventually, cultural property registration procedures for the Lake Pilchowickie bridge were finalized, effectively preventing it from any damage.[79] In May 2021, Eksner sued the Paramount production crew including McQuarrie and Cruise for breach of contract.[80]

Ultimately, filming of the train wreck scene was expected to take place between April and June 2021, in the Peak District National Park in Stoney Middleton, on a constructed set in a disused quarry, with a railway line and part of a bridge over the cliff edge.[81] After two weeks of suspended filming,[82] the scene was filmed on August 20, when a mockup Britannia Class locomotive was propelled off the cliff into the quarry.[83][84]

Post-production[]

Industrial Light & Magic returns to provide the visual effects for the film, after doing so for the first Mission: Impossible film (1996), Mission: Impossible III (2006) and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011), with BeloFX, Blind LTD, Clear Angle Studios, and Halon Entertainment being the additional vendors for the film.[85][86][87] In one of the later test screenings for the film held by McQuarrie, Edgar Wright asked him about a specific audio cue that McQuarrie felt obvious but upon Wright's question, realized that the audience hadn't noticed it, which led him and Cruise to change the "entire" movie.[88]

Music[]

Home media[]

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One was released for digital download on October 10, 2023, while Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray and DVD versions were released on October 31, 2023.[102] The Ultra HD Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases include behind-the-scenes and editing featurettes, a deleted scenes montage and an audio commentary.[102] It began streaming on Paramount+ on January 25, 2024, with Part One removed from the title because the sequel abandoned its original title.[5]


Reception[]

Box office[]

As of July 24, 2023, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One has grossed $121 million in the United States and Canada, and $252.1 million in other territories, for worldwide gross of $373.1 million.[3][4]

In the United States and Canada, Dead Reckoning Part One was initially projected to gross around $90 million from 4,327 theaters over its first five days, as well as another $160 million from 70 international territories, for a five-day worldwide debut of around $250 million.[2] The film made $15.5 million on its first day (including $7 million from Tuesday night preview screenings), and $8.3 million on its second. After making $16.7 million on Friday, weekend and five-day estimates were lowered to $54 million and $78 million, respectively.[103] The film went on to debut to $54.7 million in its opening weekend and a total of $78.5 million over its first five days, just behind the second film's $78.8 million in 2000.[104] While the film fell short of expectations after it "turned out a much lower opening weekend than expected",[105][106][107] Deadline Hollywood noted that unlike Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023), another near-three hour film that cost around $300 million and opened to $84 million over its first five days, Dead Reckoning Part One benefitted from better critic and audience scores, and noted that Cruise's films normally hold steady at the box office in subsequent weeks.[108] The film dropped 65% to $19.4 million in its second weekend, finishing fourth behind newcomers Barbie and Oppenheimer as well as holdover Sound of Freedom.[109][110]

Critical response[]

On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, 96% of 8 critics gave the film a positive review, with an average rating of 393/10. On the website, the critics' consensus reads, "With world-threatening stakes and epic set pieces to match that massive title, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One proves this is still a franchise you should choose to accept." Using a weighted average calculator, Metacritic assigned the film a score of 81 out of 100, based on 66 critics, indicating "universal acclaim". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale, while PostTrak reported 90% of filmgoers gave it a positive score.[103]

In a positive review for The Guardian, Mark Kermode gave the film four out of five stars, applauding Cruise for his acting in the film, while also praising the film for its "join-the-dots plot" and "thrilling" action.[111] Similarly, Todd McCarthy for Deadline Hollywood and Siddhant Adlakha for IGN found that the film represents "Hollywood action filmmaking at its peak" and that "if every tentpole franchise entry were this fun and finely tuned, the theatrical-versus-streaming debate would be immediately put to rest".[112][113] Brian Truitt for USA Today lauded the action sequences, saying "it's the first half of a man vs. machine epic that doesn't skimp in the thrills department. Just don't think too hard about it, though you'll probably still give serious side-eye to your laptop."[114]

In a mixed review for The Curb, Nadine Whitney criticized the film's "slow and sloppy pacing".[115]

Accolades[]

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One received a nomination for Most Anticipated Film at the 6th Hollywood Critics Association Midseason Film Awards.[116]

Sequel[]

Main article: Mission: Impossible The Final Reckoning

A direct sequel, The Final Reckoning, is scheduled to be released on June 28, 2024, after being delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.[97] It was initially billed that both films will be a send-off to Ethan Hunt.[117] In June 2023, McQuarrie told Fandango that Part One and Part Two would not end the series, and they were developing ideas for future installments.[118] In July 2023, during promotion for Part One, Cruise expressed interest in continuing to make further films in the series as Hunt.[119]
