Tom Cruise's highly-anticipated Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One has released and promises a high-stakes action thriller with the actor doing what he does best- treating his fans to a number of stunning and death-defying action sequences.
Director Christopher McQuarrie returns to helm the film after the super success of 2018's Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation. McQuarrie shared the link to the official trailer a day after it leaked online.
"We all share the same fate," the director tagged the trailer on his Twitter account.
The trailer features several scenes of Cruise running, fighting, being chased by the bad guys while driving a yellow car or fighting them atop a running train and the now iconic motorbike chase sequences.
Cruise, 59, who received a career honour at the Cannes Film Festival recently and will be on screens for another high-stakes franchise, Top Gun: Maverick releasing later this week, returns as Ethan Hunt, IMF agent and operative leader, a role that he has already played in six movies.
Dead Reckoning Part One is the seventh movie in the series and brings back the character of Eugene Kittridge (Henry Czenry), the director of the IMF in the 1996 film.
The trailer, in fact, opens with Kittridge's dialogues: "Your days of fighting for the so-called greater goods are over. This is our chance to control the truth. The concepts of right and wrong for everyone for centuries to come. You are fighting an ideal that does not exist. Never did. You need to pick a side."
The film also marks the return of the characters from the previous films as actors Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby reunite with Cruise on the new mission.
Hayley Atwell and Esai Morales are the new additions.
The film is set for theatrical release on July 14, 2023 with the second part scheduled to be released on June 28, 2024.
