All 8 'Mission: Impossible' Movies, Ranked by Rotten Tomatoes

The Mission: Impossible franchise, or at least, Impossible Missions Force agent Ethan Hunt's adventure, seems to be ending with its latest film, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. What started as a slick spy thriller in 1996 has evolved into one of the most consistently thrilling and inventive action series of the past few decades. At the center of it all is Tom Cruise, who played Hunt with fearlessness and charm. His death-defying stunts and globe-trotting missions have become synonymous with modern blockbuster spectacle. Across eight films, the series has reinvented itself time and again, swapping out directors, embracing new tones, and doubling down on increasingly elaborate action set pieces.
