Mission: Impossible Film Series Ranked

With Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning now in theaters, we've reviewed and ranked all the previous M:I films to bring you the definitive list of Ethan Hunt's most thrilling IMF missions.

While Dead Reckoning is being promoted as the culmination of the story that's captivated audiences for the past three decades, this doesn't necessarily mark the end of the Mission: Impossible series—the "final" in the title is more of a narrative conclusion than a franchise finale. Let's take a look back at this remarkable 30-year journey by ranking the Mission: Impossible films from our least favorite to our top pick. Or to put it more accurately, from great to greatest—because every installment delivers its own brand of excitement and entertainment.
