Fistfights, car stunts, and one of Tom Cruise’s craziest stunts ever – and there are a lot to choose from – are featured in the official trailer for the seventh film of the MI franchise, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. The scene of Cruise racing off a cliff on a motorcycle was the focus of a special behind-the-scenes featurette released in December 2022. Cruise did extensive training for the sequence, described as the biggest stunt in cinema history, including taking part in 13,000+ motocross jumps and 500 skydives.
Returning MI stars joining Cruise include Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn, Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa Faust, and Vanessa Kirby as The White Widow. Hayley Atwell, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Mariela Garriga, Henry Czerny, Shea Whigham, Greg Tarzan Davis, Frederick Schmidt, Charles Parnell, Rob Delaney, Cary Elwes, Indira Varma, and Mark Gatiss also star.
Christopher McQuarrie started his run as Mission: Impossible director with 2015’s Rogue Nation followed by 2018’s Fallout. McQuarrie directs both upcoming Dead Reckoning films. Erik Jendresen and McQuarrie wrote the screenplay, with McQuarrie and Tom Cruise producing. David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, Tommy Gormley, Chris Brock, and Susan E. Novick serve as executive producers.
Paramount Pictures’ Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One opens in theaters on July 12, 2023.
The Plot:
In Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team embark on their most dangerous mission yet: To track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands. With control of the future and the fate of the world at stake, and dark forces from Ethan’s past closing in, a deadly race around the globe begins.
Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than his mission – not even the lives of those he cares about most.
