The Mission: Impossible series is back with what is allegedly its final installment, *Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning*. However, given Tom Cruise's ambition to continue filmmaking well into his 100s and the Oscars' introduction of a stunt category just after this film's eligibility, it's hard to believe this will truly be the end. Even so, a potential finale for such an iconic action franchise deserves a grand celebration, especially with Tom Cruise's well-known dedication to the cinematic experience.
Following the success of 2023's *Dead Reckoning*, the new film sees Ethan Hunt, played by Cruise, risking everything once more to stop "The Entity". Fans can expect a plethora of thrilling stunts, mostly performed by Cruise himself, alongside numerous nods to the franchise's storied history.
