In a high-octane teaser to the seventh installment of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise, Paramount Pictures and Skydance unveiled the trailer of “Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning: Part One.” Tom Cruise is back in his iconic role as Ethan Hunt, a secret agent known for executing impossible missions and performing breathtaking stunts.

Ethan is shown to value the lives of his team over his mission, a sentiment his colleagues challenge, given the high stakes of their task.

The film is a star-studded affair with Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, and others joining the ensemble. Christopher McQuarrie, a long-time collaborator with Cruise, directed and co-wrote the script with Erik Jendresen. The film also boasts a strong production team that includes Cruise and McQuarrie among others.
