New trailer for ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One’ takes Tom Cruise to the edge

Paramount Pictures today dropped a new trailer for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, which finds Tom Cruise running, fighting, driving, shooting, and yes, flying a motorcycle right off a cliff.

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.

At CinemaCon in Las Vegas last month, Cruise and company previewed a 20-minute sequence with the box office star and Hayley Atwell weaving through the streets and alleys of Rome all while handcuffed together, evading cops and bad guys alike throughout much of the chase.

After the behemoth success of Top Gun: Maverick last year (to the tune of $1.5B worldwide), anticipation and expectations are high for the first part of Dead Reckoning, the second of which will debut Summer 2024.

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is directed by Christopher McQuarrie and written by McQuarrie and Erik Jendresen.

The film also stars Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Mariela Garriga, Henry Czerny, Shea Whigham, Greg Tarzan Davis, Charles Parnell, Frederick Schmidt, Cary Elwes, Mark Gatiss, Indira Varma and Rob Delaney.

Paramount Pictures will release Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One only in theaters on July 12, 2023.
