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. The film stars Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Esai Morales, Vanessa Kirby, Pom Klementieff, and Henry Czerny. In the film, when Ethan Hunt and his IMF team are confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful foe known as "the Entity", Hunt is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than his mission.

In January 2019, Cruise announced that the seventh and eighth Mission: Impossible films would be shot back-to-back with McQuarrie writing and directing both films. Returning and new cast members were announced soon after, and Lorne Balfe, who composed the score for Fallout, returned to score the film. 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 in any capacity and is also the first film in the series to not be produced by 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, and the most expensive in the franchise.

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One premiered on the Spanish Steps in Rome on June 19, 2023, and is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 12, 2023, by Paramount Pictures. Like its predecessor, the film received widespread critical acclaim. A direct sequel, Dead Reckoning Part Two, is set to be released on June 28, 2024.

Plot

IMF Agent Ethan Hunt is assigned to retrieve half of a key from his ally Ilsa Faust, who has a bounty placed on her. He travels to the Arabian Desert, briefly reunites with Ilsa and tells her to lay low. Back in the US, Ethan infiltrates a meeting of the Community, where officials of various intelligence agencies, including former IMF director Eugene Kittridge and DNI Denlinger, discuss an experimental AI called the Entity. Originally designed to sabotage digital systems, the Entity went rogue, expanded to potential sentience, and infiltrated all major defense and military systems and intelligence networks. Major powers are racing both to prevent sabotage and to gain control of the Entity, which lies with both halves of the key.

Believing the Entity is too powerful for anyone to control, Ethan decides to destroy it. He and his teammates Benji Dunn and Luther Stickell travel to Abu Dhabi International Airport to intercept the holder of the other half of the key. Ethan evades Community agents as well as Gabriel, an Entity liaison with ties to his pre-IMF past, before losing the half-key to professional burglar Grace. Meanwhile, Luther identifies a piece of baggage containing a nuclear explosive sent by the Entity; Benji narrowly defuses it. Rattled by the Entity's seeming precognition and the appearance of Gabriel, Ethan goes after Grace alone.

In Rome, Ethan tracks down Grace before Community agents and Gabriel close in. After a lengthy chase, Grace escapes again, but Ethan is reunited with his team and Ilsa. With Benji and Luther providing support, Ethan and Ilsa infiltrate a party held by arms dealer Alanna Mitsopolis in Venice, hoping to find the buyer for the complete key and its purpose. Grace delivers the half-key to Alanna while Ethan fails to talk Alanna out of selling the key. The team scatters, with Ethan subduing but sparing Gabriel's subordinate Paris. Gabriel knocks Grace out and kills Ilsa before Ethan can intervene, devastating Ethan.

A remorseful Grace is convinced to join Ethan's team, and they prepare to board the Innsbruck-bound train where Alanna will meet the buyer. Luther leaves for an off-grid location to investigate traces of the Entity in his hard drive. On the train, Gabriel kills the conductor and destroys the brakes. He meets Denlinger, who proposes an alliance between himself and the Entity. Denlinger explains the complete key unlocks the chamber housing the computer of Sevastopol, a Russian submarine sunk by its own torpedo. An early version of the Entity was injected into the system with the task of sabotaging the submarine's stealth capability, but it instead tricked the Sevastopol into destroying itself. This early version is still on the submarine, and whoever can access it can devise the means to either control or destroy the Entity. Gabriel kills Denlinger and severely wounds Paris, knowing she would betray him because of Ethan's mercy. Impersonating Alanna, Grace brings the complete key to the buyer, who turns out to be Kittridge. Though tempted to betray Ethan for a reward and protection for herself, she sides with him, pickpockets the key back, and flees.

Ethan parachutes off a perilous cliff onto the train to save Grace, but Gabriel gets the key. Ethan overpowers Gabriel but does not kill him. Gabriel escapes the trains and initiates a countdown to detonate the bridge ahead. Grace and Ethan detach the locomotive in order to save the passengers and, with Paris' help, escape the front carriages before they plunge down the broken bridge. Paris informs Ethan of the Sevastopol before falling unconscious. As Ethan flees the train, Grace informs Kittridge that she has chosen to join IMF. Ethan meets with Benji, and as Gabriel realizes his pocket is empty, they drive off with the key that Ethan pickpocketed during the fight.

Cast

Additionally, Frederick Schmidt reprises his role as Zola Mitsopolis, Alanna's brother,[6] while Charles Parnell, Rob Delaney, Indira Varma, and Mark Gatiss appear as the heads of the Community, representing NRO, JSOC, DIA, and NSA, respectively.[5] Greg Tarzan Davis portrays Degas, Briggs' partner.[7][5] Mariela Garriga portrays Marie, a woman from Ethan and Gabriel's past.[8][9][10][11]

Production

Announcement and casting

On January 14, 2019, Tom Cruise announced that the seventh and eighth Mission: Impossible films would be shot back-to-back with Christopher McQuarrie writing and directing both films for July 23, 2021, and August 5, 2022, releases.[12][13]

In February 2021, Paramount Pictures scuttled that plan,[14] but Rebecca Ferguson confirmed her return for the seventh installment.[15][16] In September 2019, McQuarrie announced on Instagram that Hayley Atwell had joined the cast.[17] In September 2019, Pom Klementieff joined the cast of both the seventh and eighth films.[8] In December 2019, Simon Pegg confirmed his return for the film, with Shea Whigham cast of both films.[18][19] Nicholas Hoult was cast in a role in January 2020, along with the addition of Henry Czerny, reprising his role as Eugene Kittridge for the first time since the 1996 film.[20][21] Vanessa Kirby also announced she was returning for both films.[22] In May 2020, it was reported that Esai Morales would replace Hoult as the villain in both films due to scheduling conflicts.[23]

Angela Bassett confirmed that she would return as Erika Sloane in December 2020, but was later removed from the film due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.[24][25] In March 2021, McQuarrie revealed on Instagram that Rob Delaney, Charles Parnell, Indira Varma, Mark Gatiss and Cary Elwes had joined the cast.[11] That same day, Greg Davis was also confirmed to have joined the cast.[10]

Filming and COVID-19 shutdown

Under the working title Libra,[26] filming was scheduled to begin on February 20, 2020, in Venice, set up to last for three weeks before moving to Rome in mid-March for 40 days,[27][28] but due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy, production in the country was halted.[29] Three weeks later, stunt rehearsals began in Surrey, England, just before a hiatus.[30] On July 6, 2020, after another hiatus, crew arriving in the UK were given permission to begin filming without going through the mandatory 14-day quarantine. The set was located at Warner Bros Studios, Leavesden in Hertfordshire.[31]

The following month, similar permission was granted for filming in Møre og Romsdal, Norway.[32] That same month, a large fire broke out on a motorcycle stunt rig in Oxfordshire. The scene had taken six weeks to prepare and was "among one of the most expensive ever filmed in the U.K." No one was hurt in the incident.[33]

Filming began on September 6, 2020,[34] when McQuarrie started to publish pictures from the sets on Instagram.[35] The film was shot with Sony CineAlta Venice cameras, making it the first film in the Mission: Impossible franchise to be shot digitally. In October 2020, across Norway, when the previous installment was filmed in Preikestolen, including the municipalities of Stranda and Rauma, with Cruise seen filming an action scene with Esai Morales atop a train.[36] On October 26, 2020, production was halted in Italy after 12 people tested positive for COVID-19 on set. Filming resumed a week later.

In December 2020, during filming in London, an audio recording of Cruise shouting at two production crew members for not following the COVID-19 rules on set was released online.[37] Cruise was likened to his character Les Grossman from Tropic Thunder (2008) as a result.[38][39] The response from the general public and that of many celebrities was supportive, suggesting that his tone and seriousness were warranted given the extreme circumstances and burden of ensuring production not be halted again.[40][41] On December 28, 2020, Variety reported that the film would conclude principal photography at Longcross Film Studios in the United Kingdom, with production shifting from Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden. In Longcross, which is in Surrey in south-east England, productions were allowed to continue under strict COVID-19 protocols.[42] In February 2021, filming concluded in the Middle East and the crew would return to London for "finishing touches".

On April 20, 2021, filming commenced in the small village of Levisham, North Yorkshire, North Yorkshire Moors Railway,[43] for a sequence set in the Alps in Switzerland with a train going 60 miles (97 km) an hour through a bridge being blown up,[44][45] as a reference to the climactic train wreck scene in the silent film The General (1926).[46] In August 2021, filming commenced in Birmingham at the city's Grand Central shopping centre, with Cruise and Atwell spotted by onlookers.[47] In September 2021, the film's gaffer Martin Smith confirmed on Instagram that principal photography had officially wrapped.[48]

Polish bridge controversy

The 1908 railway bridge over Lake Pilchowickie in southern Poland, a would-be filming location for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One that was in the international spotlight throughout 2020.

During the pre-production in late 2019, the Swiss government refused to authorize any explosions for the train sequence in the Alps;[49] as a result, the Skydance Media production team embarked on location scoutings in different countries to find an unwanted railway bridge.[45][46] Among those asked to help with staging a "full-scale train crash" was Polish-American film producer Andrew Eksner.[46] In November 2019, the Polish State Railways proposed Eksner use a 151-meter (492 ft) long, 1908 German-era riveted truss bridge on Lake Pilchowickie [pʲilxɔvʲit͡skʲɛ] [pl; es], in the Jelenia Góra Valley, in Lower Silesia.[50][51] In December 2019, Paramount Pictures producers including McQuarrie landed in southern Poland,[52] accompanied in deep secrecy by officers of the Polish engineering troops.[44] McQuarrie documented the visit on Instagram.[53]

Officially opened in 1912 by Wilhelm II, the proposed bridge survived World War II mostly intact,[54] and was used by trains until 2016.[55] Despite publicly praising the bridge as "extremely valuable,"[56] an expert misrepresented conclusions of a commissioned report,[57] that instead of renovating, it would be best to demolish the bridge and build a new one.[58][59] In March 2020, after the rejected Eksner spread the information,[46] local authorities and museum officials were appalled by the producers' intention to physically destroy the bridge, instead of using CGI effects.[50][60] The filmmakers and government officials said the bridge was devastated and intended for demolition.[55]

By July 2020, history and railway enthusiasts, scientists and filmmakers protested, along with the regional Monuments Heritage Office, members of Polish parliament,[55][61] and the International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage.[62] Activists and NGOs launched a petition against the destruction.[63] And as it was long registered provincially, and being added into Poland's national Registry of Cultural Property,[60][64] the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage confirmed it was pushing the bridge to play in the movie, with a "small section" to be demolished onset, before revitalizing the related local heritage railway line altogether.[65] Following the backlash,[61][66] the General Conservator of Monuments assured "there was no question" of destroying the bridge.[67]

In August 2020, as the story turned international,[68][69] McQuarrie said there was never a plan to blow up the bridge, and that only unsafe and partially damaged portions could have been destroyed, which allegedly needed to be rebuilt, concluding: "To open up the area to tourism, the bridge needed to go."[70] He later added that "there was no disrespect intended".[71][better source needed] The production company did not pledge to cover construction costs of a potential new bridge, nor the renovation of the historic one.[55] Eventually, cultural property registration procedures for the Lake Pilchowickie bridge were finalized, effectively preventing it from any damage.[72] In May 2021, Eksner sued the Paramount production crew including McQuarrie and Cruise for breach of contract.[73]

Ultimately, filming of the train wreck scene was expected to take place between April and June 2021, in the Peak District National Park in Stoney Middleton, on a constructed set in a disused quarry, with a railway line and part of a bridge over the cliff edge.[74] After two weeks of suspended filming,[75] during which the stretch of train track was employed to shoot the opening sequence of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023),[76] the scene was filmed on August 20, when a mockup Britannia Class locomotive was propelled off the cliff into the quarry.[77][78]

Post-production

Industrial Light & Magic returns to provide the visual effects for the film after doing so for the first Mission: Impossible film (1996), Mission: Impossible III (2006) and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011), with beloFX, Blind LTD, Clear Angle Studios, and Halon Entertainment being the additional vendors for the film.[79][80][81] In one of the later test screenings for the film held by McQuarrie, Edgar Wright asked him about a specific audio cue that McQuarrie felt obvious but upon Wright's question, realized that the audience hadn't noticed it, which led him and Cruise to change the "entire" movie.[82]

Music

In early May 2020, Lorne Balfe was confirmed to be returning to compose the score for the seventh and eighth Mission: Impossible films, after previously doing so for Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018).[83] Balfe's music from the teaser trailer was digitally released as a single on June 23, 2022, through Paramount Music.[84]

Release

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One had its world premiere on the Spanish Steps in Rome on June 19, 2023, and is scheduled to be theatrically released by Paramount Pictures in the United States on July 12,[85] with special "Early Access Fan Event" screenings held on July 10.[86] It was previously set to be released on July 23, 2021,[87] November 19, 2021,[88] May 27, 2022[89] and September 30, 2022,[90] before being delayed to July 14 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and production shutdowns.[91][92] In April 2023, Paramount announced at CinemaCon that the film would be released two days earlier on July 12.[85] The November 2021 and May 2022 release dates were given to Top Gun: Maverick (2022), another film starring Cruise that was also delayed by the pandemic.[88][89] It premiered in Sydney, on July 3, 2023, with a release in Australian cinemas on 8 July 2023.[93]

Marketing

A trailer for the film debuted exclusively at CinemaCon on April 28, 2022, including an introduction by Cruise filmed while he was flying in a biplane.[94] The trailer was leaked to social media on May 21, 2022,[95] and was officially released online on May 23, 2022.[96] The CinemaCon introduction was released officially on September 8, 2022.[97] Sam Barsanti of The A.V. Club gave the trailer a positive review and highlighted the many action scenes in it.[98] JoBlo.com also gave the trailer a positive review, saying that the "action on display is truly amazing" and praising Cruise's dedication to entertaining.[99]

A behind-the-scenes look at the film first debuted in front of IMAX screenings of Avatar: The Way of Water (2022).[100][101] The full preview was released online four days later, on December 19, 2022.[102]

Reception

Box office

In the United States and Canada, Dead Reckoning Part One is projected to gross around $90 million from 4,300 theaters over its first five days, as well as another $160 million from 70 international territories, for a worldwide debut of around $250 million over a span of five days.[2]

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 97% of 218 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8/10. The website's consensus reads: "With world-threatening stakes and epic set pieces to match that massive title, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One proves this is still a franchise you should choose to accept."[103] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 81 out of 100, based on 57 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[104]

In a positive review for The Guardian, Mark Kermode gave the film four out of five stars, applauding Cruise for his acting in the film, while also praising the film for its "join-the-dots plot" and "thrilling" action.[105] Similarly, Todd McCarthy for Deadline Hollywood and Siddhant Adlakha for IGN found that the film represents "Hollywood action filmmaking at its peak" and that "if every tentpole franchise entry were this fun and finely tuned, the theatrical-versus-streaming debate would be immediately put to rest".[106][107]

In a mixed review for The Curb, Nadine Whitney criticized the film's "slow and sloppy pacing".[108]

Accolades

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One received a nomination for Most Anticipated Film at the 6th Hollywood Critics Association Midseason Film Awards.[109]

Future

A direct sequel, Dead Reckoning Part Two, is scheduled to be released on June 28, 2024, after being delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[89] It was initially billed that both films will be a send-off to Ethan Hunt.[110] In June 2023, McQuarrie told Fandango that Part One and Part Two would not end the series, and they were developing ideas for future installments.[111] In July 2023, during promotion for Part One, Cruise expressed interest in continuing to make further films in the series as Hunt.[112]
