Paramount is currently streaming "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning" on its YouTube channel... entirely in Morse code.
Today, viewers flocked to the Paramount Movies YouTube channel after it teased a full broadcast of the latest Tom Cruise action movie. Unfortunately, those who tune in won't see Ethan Hunt's globe-trotting adventures. Instead, they'll find a knife, a radio, and a lot of beeps and dashes.
They're broadcasting the script in Morse code, so technically it's real.

"A secure livestream of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is now running," states Paramount’s livestream description. "However, the Entity has compromised every major streaming platform, forcing us to transmit the entire script in Morse Code to avoid detection. We need your help decoding it."
This is a direct Morse code translation of the film's script, meaning the stream will be exceptionally long—matching the movie's two-hour-and-fifty-minute runtime with emotionless beeps. Even if not all of the 700 listeners can translate every detail, they appear to be enjoying the experience for now.
"I love this part!" one fan joked in the comments.
"This has to have been Cruise’s idea," another added.
This Morse code premiere is certainly a creative way to mark the film's digital release. The eighth Mission: Impossible film, led by Cruise, recently became available on platforms like Amazon Prime Video, giving audiences a chance to watch the latest installment after its theatrical debut in May. It's still not on Paramount+, but at least you can listen to it until then, right?
Paramount’s Morse code stream references a similar snowy cabin scene from the movie. However, don't expect Ethan Hunt or the team to appear anytime soon—this broadcast is likely to continue for quite a while.
