Tom Cruise risks it all in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One trailer

At this point, what can’t Tom Cruise (Top Gun: Maverick) do? In Paramount’s new trailer for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Cruise’s Ethan Hunt drives a motorcycle off a cliff, fights on top of a moving train, and hangs off the edge of train car hundreds of feet in the air.

In Dead Reckoning Part One, Hunt and his team are tasked with tracking down a deadly new weapon that threatens all of humanity. However, a new, powerful enemy puts those he loves at risk, forcing Ethan to decide if completing the mission is worth more than his own life.
