With Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning now in theaters, we’ve carefully evaluated the earlier M:I films to rank Ethan Hunt’s action-packed IMF missions.

The Final Reckoning is poised to wrap up the narrative arc of this iconic franchise, which has delivered high-stakes excitement for three decades. However, the “final” in its title doesn’t signal the end of Mission: Impossible films. Join us as we revisit this 30-year saga, ranking the M:I movies from the least to the most exhilarating—each one a thrilling adventure in its own right.

We’ve also previously ranked Ethan Hunt’s IMF team members and the Mission: Impossible villains across the series. Be sure to check those out after this!
