With Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning now in theaters, we’ve taken a deep dive into the entire Mission: Impossible saga, ranking each of Ethan Hunt’s pulse-pounding IMF missions from least-great to absolute best.
While The Final Reckoning is being billed as a climactic chapter in the 30-year-long cinematic journey, the "final" in the title might be more symbolic than literal—this franchise shows no signs of slowing down. Still, it’s the perfect moment to reflect on the evolution of one of action cinema’s most enduring heroes.
Each entry in the series brings its own blend of jaw-dropping stunts, globe-trotting espionage, and relentless tension. While none fall flat, some rise above as true standouts. This ranking isn’t about bad movies—it’s about celebrating the spectrum of greatness, from solid to spectacular.
And if you enjoyed this breakdown, don’t miss our previous rankings of every IMF team member and every Mission: Impossible villain—links at the end!
