Mission: Impossible – Fallout

This is a special Members Only event. Sign up now to become a Museum of the Moving Image member.

Written and directed by Christopher M^cQuarrie. 2018, 147 mins. U.S. DCP. Starring Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson. Delivering on producer-star Cruise’s commitment to make each Mission: Impossible film more thrilling and intense than the last, Fallout offers an action-packed adventure and a story that delves deep into themes of morality, loyalty, and betrayal. Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and fellow IMF members racing to recover stolen plutonium cores. Their mission goes awry when Hunt must choose between securing the plutonium and defending team member Luther (Ving Rhames) in a gunfight, highlighting Hunt’s enduring conflict between professional commitment and personal loyalty. The missing plutonium becomes a global threat, as a terrorist organization led by Rogue Nation’s villain Solomon Lane (Sean Harris) seeks to detonate nuclear bombs to reshape the world order. The stunts here beggar belief, and it feels like some kind of miracle when the movie ends and Cruise is still actually, physically alive. Putting human bodies through their paces pays cinematic dividends—the sixth M:I is a sly, invigorating counter to digi-superhero spectacles.
