Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is new in theaters. Is there a post-credits scene that you should stick around for?

Cruise’s espionage action film franchise — based on the classic 1960s and '70s CBS-TV series — began in 1996 with Mission: Impossible, followed the numeric sequels II and III in 2000 and 2006, respectively.

The series took on subtitles after that, starting with Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol in 2011, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation in 2015, Mission: Impossible – Fallout in 2018 and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning in 2023.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning — which was originally titled Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, Part 2 — is a continuation of the 2023 film. While there are many callbacks to all of the Mission: Impossible films, The Final Reckoning mainly concentrates on Impossible Mission Force Agent Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and his pursuit of Dead Reckoning villain Gabriel (Esai Morales) and the self-aware artificial intelligence program known as The Entity.

Since the events of the last film, The Entity has stirred up division all around the world. Far worse, it is one by one securing all of the world’s biggest nuclear arsenals. Ethan begins the film in hiding and the only person who can lure him out to try to stop The Entity from starting World War III is U.S. President Erika Sloane (Angela Bassett).
