Why You Can Trust CNET When to Watch 'Mission: Impossible -- Dead Reckoning' on Paramount Plus
The spy flick is nominated for two Oscars.
Mission: Impossible -- Dead Reckoning Part One, the seventh film in the franchise, free-falls onto the Paramount Plus streaming service on Thursday. (But you can save some time typing in that long title, as it'll appear on the streamer as just "Mission: Impossible -- Dead Reckoning," according to a press release).
The spy movie is now an Oscar nominee, receiving nominations on Tuesday for best sound and best visual effects. In the flick, Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt and his Impossible Mission Force rush "to track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity," so they can keep it out of the wrong hands, according to Paramount Plus.
In addition to Cruise, the movie stars Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Henry Czerny (last seen in the original 1996 movie) and newcomers Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff and Esai Morales. If you want to catch the action on Paramount Plus, here are more details on the streaming service.
