As Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning graces the big screens, we’ve taken a deep dive into the archives to rank Ethan Hunt's adrenaline-pumping IMF escapades across the franchise's storied 30-year history. While The Final Reckoning claims to wrap up the saga in narrative terms, the "final" moniker is more of a marketing flourish than an absolute end—so expect more chapters ahead. After all, the Mission: Impossible series has always delivered thrills and surprises in equal measure.
This ranking aims to honor each installment’s unique strengths while placing them in context of the overall arc. Remember, every film in the series delivers its own brand of excitement, making it tough to compare them directly. That said, here’s our list from least-great to greatest.
