Since 1996, Tom Cruise has been delighting fans as Ethan Hunt, performing a series of death-defying stunts, from climbing the world’s tallest building to jumping a motorbike off the side of a mountain and dangling outside a plane. The movies have featured some of the most audacious set pieces put to film as Hunt and his team have thwarted villains’ plans. The series now reaches its eighth and most likely final outing with The Final Reckoning, a direct sequel to 2023’s Dead Reckoning. Does the series go out with a bang, or does the fuse fizzle out?
We pick up a few weeks after the events of Dead Reckoning, with Hunt in possession of a key that will unlock the rogue AI, The Entity’s source code. Safe to say the forces of good and evil want their hands on this key to be able to control it. It is a race against time to stop nuclear armageddon, with the stakes never higher.
