Is there anything Tom Cruise won't do to get the shot?

Pound-for-pound, there's nothing better.

Brad Bird’s film gets 'Mission: Impossible' right by building a team around everything going wrong.

In the lead up to ‘Fallout’, we’re looking back at the first five ‘Mission: Impossible’ movies.

The filmmaker also teases a more "emotionally dramatic" sequel, reflects on his rewrite work on 'Ghost Protocol', and talks about his role as a script doctor on blockbusters.

Things only got worse for the ‘Fantastic Four’ reboot, which earned $26.2 million instead of the $45 million that Fox was hoping for. That left ‘Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation’ as the surprise first-place winner with $29.4 million in its second weekend.

‘Mission: Impossible 5’ proves that, with this franchise at least, Tom Cruise is still a box office draw. Ed Helms? Not so much. Few were drawn to ‘Vacation,’ which came in 50% below its pre-release projection.

We count down the tools for making the impossible possible.

The latest installment, ‘Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation’, opens next week.

Don't tell Tom Cruise what he can't do!
