How to watch Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning in Australia

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is hurtling into Australian cinemas like our boy Tom off a high ledge on May 17, 2025.

What is Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning about?

Oh, some nonsense. The interesting thing about the Mission: Impossible movies is how the actual plot has become less and less important as the series progresses—it’s all about propulsive action. But the thing propelling the action this time out is the existence of the wildly dangerous AI program The Entity. And the fact that it’s in the hands of evil anti-Ethan Gabriel, a ruthless assassin, terrorist, mercenary, and general ne’er-do-well. We’re picking up immediately after the events of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, so give that a spin if you need a refresher. But let’s be real: you don’t.

Fresh-faced newcomer Tom Cruise is superspy Ethan Hunt, and we’re expecting big things from this kid in the future; Hayley Atwell is Grace, a former thief turned IMF agent; professional BFF Simon Pegg is his sidekick, Benji Dunn; living legend Ving Rhames is his white hat hacker Luther Stickell; Esai Morales is Bizarro Ethan Gabriel; Vanessa Kirby is black market arms dealer the White Widow; Pom Klementieff is enemy-turned-ally Paris; with Henry Czerny, Angela Bassett, Mariela Garriga, Pasha Lychnikoff, Holt McCallany, Janet McTeer, Nick Offerman, Hannah Waddingham, and Shea Whigham also on board.
