If you're thinking of watching all Mission: Impossible movies in order ahead of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, you might need some help. The eighth instalment in the action franchise is hitting theaters soon, so this is the perfect time for a Mission: Impossible marathon – here's the best way to do it.
Unlike other longer and more complicated franchises (see our MCU in order and our Star Wars movies in order to see what a twisty timeline looks like), Tom Cruise's action franchise is pretty straightforward. There are no unexpected jumps in time, like in the Fast and Furious timeline, or prequels and any spin-offs muddling things. It's as easy as following the release order. However, most Mission: Impossible films don't include a number in their official title, so you might need to get a refresher on which is which.
