MISSION:


IMPOSSIBLE – FALLOUT


Stream from Tuesday May 7 or watch at 8.30pm on Premiere Movies [401]


As if there was ever any doubt,


six films in, it’s crystal clear that


the Mission: Impossible franchise


is a real passion project for its


star, Tom Cruise.


The action man – who also


serves as a producer – has


poured his literal blood, sweat


and tears into bringing the


high-risk, high-octane antics


of IMF agent Ethan Hunt to life


on the big screen for the past


23 years, admittedly a huge


fan of the original television


series growing up.


“To be able to turn it into


a feature film and to take it


from a Cold War series to this


modern day audience... it is


without a doubt one of the most


challenging films to produce,”


the actor explains.


Filming this latest instalment,


Cruise famously broke his foot


making a daring jump between


buildings (pictured). But ever the


true professional, he made sure


he nailed the take before seeking


medical attention. It’s dedication


like this that truly elevates the


movie and keeps audiences


coming back for more.


Having been entrusted with


the safe return of three stolen


plutonium cores in Berlin, Hunt


is soon thrust into a global game


of cat and mouse when they fall


into the hands of Solomon Lane’s


(Sean Harris) newly reformed


rogue terrorist group, now


known as the Apostles.


Henry Cavill joins the action as


CIA agent August Walker, who is


assigned to shadow – and keep


a watchful eye on – Hunt.
