After almost nine months since its theatrical release, Tom Cruise’s ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning’ is coming to streaming. The seventh installment of the franchise will be available to watch online on Paramount+ on January 25th.
The movie was released in July, in the middle of the ‘Barbenheimer’ craze, and, despite being the 10th grossing movie of the year, it fell short at the box office. It grossed over $567.5 million worldwide, against a reported budget of $219 million (after an insurance payout due to the COVID-19 delays).

What is ‘Dead Reckoning’ about?
In this spy thriller, we follow IMF Agent Ethan Hunt (played by Cruise) and his team as they try to stop a huge threat from a dangerous new weapon. The story starts with a super-advanced Russian stealth submarine, the Sevastopol, which has a high-tech Artificial Intelligence (AI) system called the “Entity.”
Hunt goes on a global mission to get a crucial piece of a two-part key needed to control the Entity. Some of the familiar faces that return to the franchise include Simon Pegg as Benji, Ving Rhames as Luther, Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa Faust and Vanessa Kirby as The White Widow.
New characters include Hayley Atwell, a thief who becomes Hunt’s new ally, as well as Esai Morales as Gabriel, the new antagonist. Other cast members are: Henry Czerny as Kittridge, Pom Klementieff as Paris, Cary Elwes, Greg Tarzan Davis, Shea Whigham, and Mariela Garriga.
