The highly anticipated American film will be presented Out of Competition at the Grand Théâtre Lumière.

On Wednesday, May 14, actor and producer Tom Cruise, his long-time collaborator, director and screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie, and the cast will walk the steps of the Palais des Festivals.

This is only the Hollywood legend’s third appearance on the Croisette: the first in 1992, for the premiere of Ron Howard’s Far and Away, a few years went by before Tom Cruise’s memorable return in 2022, marked by the premiere of Top Gun: Maverick, his gripping masterclass and the emotional reception of his honorary Palme d’or.

In Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt, who he has portrayed since the beginning of the franchise in 1996, and his IMF team ask you to trust them one last time.

Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie continue their partnership, working together again, with McQuarrie & Erik Jendresen co-writing the script, from Paramount  Pictures (Top GunRocketman) and Skydance.

After almost three decades of thrills, stunts and intrigue, The Final Reckoning delivers an unforgettable cinematic experience.
