Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025)
In Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, four-time Oscar nominee Tom Cruise is back as agent Ethan Hunt. This time, he’s pursuing a dangerous AI that's infiltrated global intelligence.
The ninth biggest movie of 2025, The Final Reckoning won Best Action Movie and Best Actor: Action at the 2025 Critics' Choice Super Awards, thanks in no small part to a Guinness World Record-setting burning parachute jump sequence (performed by Cruise himself, of course) filmed in the Drakensberg.
The star-studded support cast includes Angela Bassett, Hannah Waddingham, Hayley Atwell, Nick Offerman, Pom Klementieff, Shae Whigham, Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames.
The Final Reckoning has an 80% critics' rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with The New York Times hailing it as “blockbuster entertainment at its most highly polished.” Mission accomplished, then.
P.S. You can binge all seven previous films in the franchise on Showmax.
