Mission: Impossible The Final Reckoning

Sign in to edit


Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is a 2025 American action spy film directed by Christopher McQuarrie from a screenplay he co-wrote with Erik Jendresen. The sequel to Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (2023), it is the eighth and final installment in the Mission: Impossible film series.[6][7][8] It stars Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, alongside an ensemble cast including Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett.[9][10] In the film, Hunt and his Impossible Mission Force team unite to prevent the Entity, a rogue AI, from unleashing global destruction against humanity.

In January 2019, Cruise announced that the seventh and eighth Mission: Impossible films would be shot back-to-back with McQuarrie co-writing and directing both films. Plans for the eighth film later changed in February 2021. Returning and new cast members were announced soon after, including Lorne Balfe, who composed the score for two other films in the series: Balfe was later replaced by Max Aruj and Alfie Godfrey. Principal photography began in March 2022 but was halted in July 2023 due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. Production resumed in March 2024 and concluded that November, with filming locations including England, Malta, South Africa and Norway. The film, originally titled Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two, dropped its subtitle in October 2023, and the new subtitle was announced in November 2024. With an estimated budget of $300–400 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made.

The Final Reckoning had its world premiere in Tokyo on May 5, 2025, was screened out of competition at the 78th Cannes Film Festival on May 14, and was theatrically released in the United States on May 23, by Paramount Pictures. The film received positive reviews from critics and has grossed $222.3 million worldwide, becoming the eighth highest-grossing film of 2025, in addition to having the largest opening weekend in the franchise.

Plot[]

Two months after retrieving the key to the source code for the malevolent artificial intelligence known as the Entity,[lower-alpha 2] Impossible Missions Force agents Ethan Hunt and Grace pursue Gabriel, once the Entity's main human proxy. Instead, Gabriel captures them, reveals that the Entity has abandoned him for failing to keep the key from them, and coerces Ethan into retrieving the core "Podkova" module, revealed to be the "Rabbit's Foot,"[lower-alpha 3] from the sunken Russian submarine Sevastopol, which would give Gabriel control over the Entity's source code. Ethan and Grace escape with the aid of IMF agent Benji Dunn and recruit Paris, Gabriel's erstwhile lieutenant; and Theo Degas, a CIA agent previously tasked with apprehending Ethan. They discover a device that Gabriel used to communicate with the Entity, which shows Ethan a vision of a coming nuclear apocalypse. Ethan realizes the Entity needs access to a secure digital bunker in South Africa to ensure its physical survival.

Ethan sends his team to retrieve the Sevastopol's coordinates, while he rejoins Luther Stickell to disarm a nuclear device Gabriel planted in London. Luther reveals that he developed malware for the Entity loaded on a hard drive, the "Poison Pill," but Gabriel has stolen it. Luther sacrifices himself to disarm the bomb by preemptively triggering one of its conventional detonators. Ethan then surrenders and is brought to Mount Weather, where US President Erika Sloane urges cooperation due to the Entity's escalating control over global nuclear systems. With only four days before it launches global strikes and relocates to the bunker, Ethan convinces Sloane to let him act independently to locate the Sevastopol, against CIA Director Eugene Kittridge's objections.

While Ethan joins the aircraft carrier USS George H. W. Bush in the North Pacific Ocean to dive to the Sevastopol wreck, his team travels to St. Matthew Island in the Bering Sea, home to a Cold War–era naval sonar array that detected the Sevastopol's sinking. They locate former CIA analyst William Donloe, who was exiled to the island decades earlier after a break-in at CIA headquarters.[lower-alpha 4] Donloe reveals he memorized the Sevastopol's coordinates after recognizing the sonar signature. As Grace and Donloe's wife Tapeesa hold off an occupying unit of Russian special forces in a firefight, Donloe transmits the coordinates to Ethan and the team.

Ethan receives the coordinates, dives to the Sevastopol, and retrieves the Podkova, but accidentally causes the wreck to slide down the continental shelf. Narrowly escaping without his air supply, Ethan drowns during the ascent but is rescued and revived from decompression sickness by Grace and Tapeesa using a portable decompression chamber. Reunited with the IMF team, Ethan outlines his plan to plug the Poison Pill into the Podkova, fooling the Entity into downloading itself onto a physical drive and isolating itself from the outside world. Ethan suspects Gabriel is already waiting at the South African bunker with the Poison Pill, aiming to seize control of the Entity by forcing Ethan to surrender the Podkova.

The team arrives at the bunker in South Africa only to find it abandoned, save for Gabriel and his allies. He reveals another timed nuclear device and demands the Podkova. Ethan agrees, predicting that Gabriel will plug it into the Poison Pill, but the handover is interrupted by Kittridge, who wants the US to control the Entity. The bomb is activated in the ensuing firefight, and Gabriel flees, knowing that Ethan will pursue him. Paris performs emergency surgery on a critically injured Benji as he guides Grace through the process of rebooting the bunker systems to trap the Entity. Like Luther, Donloe preempts the explosion by setting off a detonator first, but buys enough time for everyone to get to safety beforehand. As the Entity gains total control of the world's nuclear weapons and prepares to move to the bunker, Ethan chases Gabriel in a biplane and climbs onto Gabriel's plane mid-air. Gabriel is thrown from the cockpit and attempts to activate his parachute, but his skull is split open by the rudder.

Ethan finds a second parachute, escapes with the Poison Pill, and plugs it into the Podkova, allowing Grace to finish the download within a tenth of a second before all nuclear weapons are launched. Kittridge and Degas' superior, Jasper Briggs, find Ethan; Kittridge is frustrated when Ethan hands over the destroyed Podkova, while Jasper—in reality Jim Phelps Jr., the son of Ethan's original team leader Jim Phelps[lower-alpha 4]—makes peace with Ethan for exposing his father as a traitor and killing him. The IMF team reunites in London, where Grace gives Ethan the drive housing the Entity, and the team members go their separate ways.

Production[]

Development[]

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.[24][25] However, in February 2021, Deadline Hollywood revealed that Paramount had decided to no longer move forward with that plan.[26]

Casting[]

In September 2019, Hayley Atwell and Pom Klementieff joined the cast of the eighth installment.[27][28] In December, Simon Pegg confirmed his return for the film, while Shea Whigham was also cast.[29][30] Nicholas Hoult joined the cast by January 2020, along with Henry Czerny, who reprised his role as Eugene Kittridge from Dead Reckoning Part One and the first film.[31][32] However, due to scheduling conflicts, Hoult was replaced by Esai Morales for both films.[33] Vanessa Kirby, who first appeared in Fallout, announced she was returning for both films,[34] but did not appear in Final Reckoning.[35] In July 2022, it was reported that Holt McCallany had joined the cast.[36] In August, it was revealed Nick Offerman and Janet McTeer were also added to the cast.[37] In March 2023, McQuarrie announced Hannah Waddingham, Lucy Tulugarjuk and Rolf Saxon's addition to the cast, the latter of whom reprises his role from the first film.[12][38] In March and April 2024, respectively, Katy O'Brian and Tramell Tillman joined the cast in then-undisclosed roles.[21][15] In November 2024, it was revealed that Angela Bassett would reprise her role as CIA Director Erika Sloane.[39]

Filming[]

In February 2021, Deadline Hollywood reported that the film would no longer be filmed back-to-back with Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.[26] By November, McQuarrie was in the process of rewriting the film's script.[40] On March 23, 2022, The Hollywood Reporter reported the beginning of principal photography of the then untitled Mission: Impossible 8.[41] Filming took place in the UK at Longcross Studios and the Lake District. Other locations included Malta, South Africa, and Norway. In December 2022, filming was finished in the UK.[42] The crew then moved to Apulia in Italy to continue filming aboard the aircraft carrier Template:USS.[43] During the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, production was thought to have been put on hold according to an interview with McQuarrie in the June 2023 issue of the Empire magazine.[44] However, this was later revealed to have been a misinterpretation of McQuarrie's statement, and continued production was only waiting for the promotion of Part One to complete.[45] Filming was officially suspended in July due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.[46] The film returned to production in March 2024, though in May, it encountered a delay due to a submarine malfunction.[47][48] During filming in England, Cruise and Morales were observed performing stunts from an airborne biplane, with Cruise holding onto the wings of the open cockpit aircraft as it flew upside down, while the pilot wore a greenscreen suit so as to be digitally removed from the final shot.[49] In July 2024, Simon Pegg revealed filming had concluded for his part, though the cast and crew were maintaining radio silence.[50][51] By November 2024, production had concluded and the film was in post-production. The Hollywood Reporter reported that the budget had neared $400 million due to the production delays.[3]

Post-production[]

Industrial Light & Magic returns from the seventh film to produce the visual effects, with Clear Angle Studios and Halon Entertainment as the additional vendors for lidar, cyber scanning and previsualization.[52][53][54] In October 2023, Dead Reckoning Part Two was removed as the film's subtitle,[55] and the new subtitle was confirmed as The Final Reckoning in November 2024.[56]

Music[]

Lorne Balfe was originally announced in May 2020 to be composing the film's score, after previously doing so for Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018) and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (2023),[57] but it was later announced in April 2025 that he would be replaced with Max Aruj and Alfie Godfrey. Aruj has previously provided additional music for Dead Reckoning and served as technical score assistant on Fallout. Both Aruj and Godfrey have contributed music to numerous projects scored by Balfe over the years. Cecile Tournesac was credited as the supervising music editor and score producer.[58] The full album was released on 23 May 2025.[59][60]

Release[]

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning had its world premiere in Tokyo on May 5, 2025. The film screened at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival on May 14, 2025, prior to its scheduled theatrical release on May 23, by Paramount Pictures.[61][62] It was previously set for release on August 5, 2022,[63] but was delayed to November 4, 2022,[64] July 7, 2023,[65] June 28, 2024,[66] and then to the current date in response to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, taking the original release date of The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants.[67] Due to delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes, the budget for the film reportedly increased to at least $400 million, placing it among the most expensive films ever made.[68] Based on typical industry expectations, the film may need to earn around $1 billion worldwide to recoup its production costs.[68] However, in addition to its box office, its performance on Paramount’s streaming service, Paramount+, is also expected to be a significant factor in evaluating its overall success.[68]

Internationally, it was released theatrically in Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, India and South Korea on May 17, 2025[69] before releasing in the United Kingdom on May 21.[70] The film was released in Dolby Cinema, ScreenX, RPX, 4DX, IMAX and other premium formats.

Reception[]

Box office[]

As of May 27, 2025, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning has grossed $86.2 million in the United States and Canada, and $136.1 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $222.3 million.[1][5]

In the United States and Canada, The Final Reckoning was released alongside Lilo & Stitch, and was initially projected to gross $80–110 million over the four-day Memorial Day weekend.[71] Final Reckoning earned $24.8 million on its opening day, which included $8.3 million from Thursday night previews, setting a new opening day record for the franchise. The film debuted to $64 million over its standard three-day weekend and reached $79 million across the four-day Memorial Day weekend, placing second behind Lilo & Stitch. Despite not topping the box office, a first for the franchise, not counting Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol's limited release in IMAX and other large-format theaters in its first five days where it finished third, it contributed to the biggest Memorial Day weekend in domestic box office history, with all films combining for a record-breaking $334.5 million.[72][73][74][75]

Critical response[]

Reviews of The Final Reckoning were generally positive, but subdued compared to previous installments.[lower-alpha 5] On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, 80% of critics gave the film a positive review, with an average rating of 348/10. On the website, the critics' consensus reads, "Gargantuan in action, runtime, and scope, The Final Reckoning is a sentimental sendoff for Ethan Hunt that accomplishes its mission with a characteristic flair for the impossible." Using a weighted average calculator, Metacritic assigned the film a score of 67 out of 100, based on 56 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews. Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A–" on an A+ to F scale, while those surveyed by PostTrak gave it an 89% overall positive score, with 79% saying they would definitely recommend the film.[80]

Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian rated the film five stars out of five, calling it a "wildly silly, wildly entertaining adventure which periodically gives us a greatest-hits flashback montage of the other seven films".[81] In another positive review, Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune said the film was a "satisfying capper to an eight-film franchise" and concluded, "He may not hang off a biplane, but the year’s unlikeliest franchise MVP makes Final Reckoning something better than superhuman: human."[82] Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph said, "Even by the series' own now well-established standards, this widely presumed last entry in Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible franchise is an awe-inspiringly bananas piece of work."[83] Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, saying it "stays true" to the franchise's "core tenets, even if it too often feels baggy and redundant", and particularly praised "a callback from the first film that strikes a particularly winning chord of humor and sentimentality".[84]

In an unfavorable review, Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com was more critical of the film, calling the first hour "unwieldy and truly clunky" and "the worst segment in the entire franchise", although he noted that the action sequences during the film's peaks were "enough to ignore everything wrong with the movie up to that point".[85] Cary Darling of the Houston Chronicle described the film as a "disappointing installment" that felt "bloated and tired, despite the dizzying, high-flying stunt work at the film's climax". He also criticized its runtime, stating "just shy of three hours (the longest in the series), it takes a heck of a long time to achieve lift-off".[86] Ritz of Letterboxd has mentioned "Final Reckoning is a triumph, although flawed." [87]

Future[]

In June 2023, McQuarrie told Fandango that Dead Reckoning and The Final Reckoning would not necessarily end the series, and they were developing ideas for future installments.[88] In July 2023, during promotion for Dead Reckoning, Cruise expressed interest in reprising his role as Hunt in future films, citing Harrison Ford's 40+ year portrayal of Indiana Jones.[89] On November 12, 2024, Jeff Sneider reported Cruise sought to cast Glen Powell, his co-star in Top Gun: Maverick (2022), to replace him as the new lead for potential future Mission Impossible films. Powell denied this during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.[90][91] In May 2025, during the New York premiere for The Final Reckoning, Cruise clarified that the film is the last in the series, stating "The film is the final! It’s not called 'final' for nothing."[6]
