From Brian De Palma's 1996 original to 2023's Dead Reckoning, this is the definitive ranking of all Mission: Impossible movies from worst to best.
Few modern-day action franchises have had the same longevity as the Mission: Impossible film series. While it began as a spy/thriller TV series that was first broadcast in the late 1960s, the name "Mission: Impossible" is now most associated with the blockbuster action series led by Tom Cruise.
It was directed by John Woo, a natural fit for the series, given his tendency to make action movies that are explosive, intense, and exciting. Both he and Tom Cruise don't phone it in by any means, receiving considerable support from a stellar and scene-stealing Thandiwe Newton. However, Mission: Impossible II isn't quite as engaging or consistent as the better entries in the Mission: Impossible franchise, despite Woo's deliberately larger-than-life approach.
Mission: Impossible might feel a little quaint compared to what was to come, but that arguably also gives it a certain charm. The first entry feels more comparable to the stylish, character-driven thrillers from Brian De Palma's filmography than the increasingly explosive movies that came later. Mission: Impossible also benefits from De Palma's trademark stylish and noir-ish approach.
Mission: Impossible III Release Date May 3, 2006 Director J.J. Abrams Cast Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ving Rhames, Billy Crudup, Michelle Monaghan, Jonathan Rhys Meyers Rating PG-13 Runtime 125 Watch on Paramount+ Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation Release Date July 23, 2015 Director Christopher McQuarrie Cast Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames, Sean Harris Rating PG-13 Runtime 131 Watch on Paramount+
Mission: Impossible - Fallout is a highlight of the Mission: Impossible series that ranks among the greatest action movies of the 2010s. The film benefits from an increasingly personal plot for Hunt and a spectacular villainous turn from Henry Cavill, whose August Walker is an instant icon. Fallout further cemented the franchise as one of the best of the 21st century so far and solidified Cruise's reputation as the ultimate action star.
