BY FILM FOCUS TEAM JULY 10, 2023
With Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One hitting theatres this week, we thought it would be a fitting time to gather our heads and rank the franchise up until now. The Mission: Impossible franchise began in 1996, and since then it has spawned 5 sequels, with Dead Reckoning Part One and Two to come. The franchise wouldn't be where it is today without Tom Cruise and his death defying stunts, which are always massive talking points every time a new one of these gets released.
So without further ado, here is the Film Focus teams Mission: Impossible franchise ranking...
