Mission: Impossible movies ranked

The Mission: Impossible franchise is one of the most popular action movie franchises of all time. The first of the Mission: Impossible movies starring Tom Cruise premiered in theaters almost 30 years ago, and it’s not showing any signs of slowing down soon.

With a new Mission: Impossible movie coming this summer, we ranked the Mission: Impossible movies from worst to best. It’s wild that this franchise is getting so much better as it goes on. That’s all I’m going to say about that right now.

Before we rank the Mission: Impossible movies, I also wanted to share the Mission: Impossible movies in order, so you know how to watch them before Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two hits theaters on June 28, 2024. And, I also shared where to watch the Mission: Impossible movies before you venture out to the theaters to watch Dead Reckoning Part One and Part Two. 

Mission: Impossible movies in order

  • Mission: Impossible (1996)
  • Mission: Impossible 2 (2000)
  • Mission: Impossible 3 (2006)
  • Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011)
  • Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation (2015)
  • Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018)

Where to watch the Mission: Impossible movies

As of the end of June 2023, there are a few places to watch the Mission: Impossible movies. The first six Mission: Impossible movies are available to stream on Paramount+ right now. With your premium Paramount+ subscription, you can watch Mission: Impossible, Mission: Impossible 2, Mission: Impossible 3, Ghost Protocol, Rogue Nation, and Fallout.

There are reports that the movies are available on Pluto TV, but that doesn’t appear to be true. You can also watch the Mission: Impossible movies on other SVOD platforms, but you’ll likely have to rent or buy the movies.

Let’s get the ranking started with the worst Mission: Impossible movie so far, Mission: Impossible 2.
