mission impossible – dead reckoning part one


Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is a 2023 American spy action film directed by Christopher McQuarrie, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Erik Jendresen. It is the sequel to Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018) and the seventh installment in the Mission: Impossible film series. It stars Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, alongside an ensemble cast including Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Mariela Garriga, and Henry Czerny. In the film, Hunt and his IMF team face off against "the Entity", a powerful rogue AI.

In January 2019, Cruise announced the next two Mission: Impossible films would be shot back-to-back, with McQuarrie writing and directing both. Returning and new cast members were announced soon after, and Lorne Balfe, who composed the score for Fallout, returned to score. Filming began in Italy in February 2020 but was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It resumed later that year and wrapped in September 2021, with other filming locations including Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates. It is the first film in the series since Mission: Impossible 2 (2000) not to involve J. J. Abrams and is the first film in the series to not be produced by Abrams' Bad Robot Productions since Mission: Impossible III (2006). With an estimated budget of $291 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made.

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One premiered on the Spanish Steps in Rome on June 19, 2023, and was theatrically released in the United States on July 12, 2023, by Paramount Pictures. The film received critical acclaim and grossed $567 million worldwide. However, because of its expensive overall budget and competition from the "Barbenheimer" cultural phenomenon, as well as sleeper hit Sound of Freedom, it was a box office disappointment. A direct sequel, an untitled eighth film, is set to be released on May 23, 2025.

Cast :
Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, an IMF agent and leader of an operatives team.
Hayley Atwell as Grace, a thief and Ethan's new ally. Christopher McQuarrie described Atwell's character as a "destructive force of nature," while Atwell explained that her character's loyalties are "somewhat ambiguous".
Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, an IMF computer technician, Ethan's best friend and a member of his team.
Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn, an IMF technical field agent, Ethan's friend and a member of his team.
Pegg also voices the Entity, an all-powerful AI system who achieved sentience while infiltrating the Russian submarine Sevastopol, before going rogue, manipulating major defense, intelligence, and financial networks of the world at will, leading world powers to compete to obtain the key to control it, while the Entity recruits a human, Gabriel, as a liaison. The Entity speaks by initiating the voice of Dunn.
Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa Faust, a disavowed MI6 agent who allied with Ethan's team during Rogue Nation (2015) and Fallout (2018).
Vanessa Kirby as Alanna Mitsopolis, a black-market arms dealer and broker who goes by the alias "White Widow". Alanna is the daughter of Max, a deceased arms dealer originally portrayed by Vanessa Redgrave from the first film.
Esai Morales as Gabriel, a powerful terrorist and Ethan's adversary who appears to be working with the Entity, an all-powerful AI system, to rule the world. He and Ethan had a fateful encounter with each other prior to Ethan becoming an IMF agent.
Pom Klementieff as Paris, a French assassin who works for Gabriel; Paris is based on the character of the same name portrayed by Leonard Nimoy in the original Mission: Impossible television series.
Mariela Garriga as Marie, a woman from Ethan and Gabriel's past, seen only in brief flashbacks.
Henry Czerny as Eugene Kittridge, the former director of the IMF and current director of the CIA last seen in Mission: Impossible (1996).
Shea Whigham as Jasper Briggs, a US Intelligence agent assigned with hunting Ethan and his team.
Cary Elwes as Denlinger, the Director of National Intelligence.
