Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning,’ Tom Cruise's final case as Ethan Hunt after nearly 30 years, earned a 7½-minute ovation after its Cannes premiere.

Tom Cruise was last at Cannes in 2022, when the film festival gave him an honorary Palme d’Or and, in return, got one of the last bona fide Hollywood stars to grace their red carpet as he launched “Top Gun: Maverick.”

Underwater and high in the sky, Tom Cruise's stunts are fantastic, but Cannes we get past the running exposition? A rapturous French premiere says that mission is quite possible.
