What’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One about?

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One has its eye on three topics—AI, the Internet, and weaponization. This makes the seventh installment in the franchise quite topical. Since the project started in 2019, you could view it as a reaction to the rise of social media morality and the way those values have, since 2017, reshaped the American zeitgeist. The Entity could easily be a weaponized Twitter. It also feels very timely given the Hollywood turmoil of 2023 relating to AI scripts and the combination of AI and CGI for performances and filmmaking that’s led to the Writers’ Strike as well as a looming SAG-AFTRA revolt. There’s no way Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie could have known about ChatGPT but it’s like they did. 

However you interpret the metaphor of The Entity, Dead Reckoning asks you to think about who has control. Is it the government wielding such force? Independent players with ulterior motives? Does it control itself? Is one answer better than the rest? Are they all bad? Is such great power too good to be true, much less controlled? There’s actually an impressive literary depth to Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning that elevates it beyond the standard blockbuster fare and right into the realm of modern speculative science fiction.
