‘Mission: Impossible’ Recap: Everything You Need to Remember Before ‘The Final Reckoning’


Variety breaks down everything that 'Mission: Impossible' fans need to know before watching 'The Final Reckoning.'

Further, Ethan and his team learn from Gabriel’s associate Paris (Pom Klementieff) that the two-piece cruciform key they’ve been chasing unlocks a chamber (the “sonar sphere”) in the hull of a sunken Russian submarine, the Sevastapol, carrying the source code for the Entity. Aside from the death-defying man himself, described in “Dead Reckoning” as a “mind-reading, shape-shifting incarnation of chaos,” the IMF team includes computer-hacking “guy in the van” Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames), reluctant field agent Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg) and new recruit Grace (Hayley Atwell), the latter of whom Ethan chased through the previous film. Joining them is Paris, Gabriel’s former henchwoman who survived her boss’ attempt to murder her, and Theo Degas (Greg Tarzan Davis), a U.S. intelligence agent who previously served as the partner of Jasper Briggs (Shea Whigham), who began chasing Ethan in “Dead Reckoning.”
