The newest Mission: Impossible movie,Mission: Impossible– Dead Reckoning, will soon be available to stream on Paramount Plus, but has undergone a slight change, dropping ‘Part One’ from its title.

Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the action flick stars Tom Cruise as our beloved secret agent Ethan Hunt, who embarks on his most dangerous mission yet: to track down a terrifying new AI entity before it ends up in the wrong hands. The cast also includes Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Rebecca Ferguson, and Vanessa Kirby.

Originally, Mission: Impossible 7 and 8 were supposed to act as two parts to one story, as McQuarrie explained in an interview withGamesRadar+ and Total Film, “Instead of fighting the running time, I said let’s just cut the movie in half and give ourselves the breathing room to tell that story – not anticipating, then, that Part One would expand to the size that it did, the epic scale that it did.”
