After 29 years and Mission: Impossible movies in order, the legendary Mission: Impossible franchise has officially come to an end. What started as a 1996 spy thriller starring Tom Cruise evolved into one of the greatest action blockbuster series of all time, packed with death-defying stunts, high-octane chase sequences, and unforgettable espionage thrills.

Produced by Paramount Pictures, the Mission: Impossible series redefined Hollywood action movies, with Tom Cruise performing some of the most dangerous stunts in cinema history—from hanging off the Burj Khalifa in Ghost Protocol (2011) to clinging to a flying plane in Rogue Nation (2015) and performing a real HALO jump in Fallout (2018). Each film pushed the limits of practical effects and stunt work, making it a must-watch for action fans.
