Who’s in the Mission Impossible 7 cast? Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One is the seventh installment in the Tom Cruise-led super spy series, and it’s truly epic.

What happens in Mission Impossible 7?
Ethan Hunt and his team go up against their strangest nemesis yet: a sentient computer algorithm that has the capability to take over the world’s digital systems.
The algorithm is known as The Entity, and just about everyone in the world is after its powers. From government officials to old foes, Ethan is on a worldwide race to get his hands on the key that unlocks The Entity’s source code before the wrong person gets there first.
But it doesn’t stop there. The Entity has the ability to learn and grow, meaning that it can discover Ethan’s biggest weaknesses and use them against him. Ethan also comes across Grace, a master thief who gets caught up in his most high-stakes mission yet, and he must use her skills in order to help them defeat their enemies coming from every which way.
