Tom Cruise was joined by co-stars including Hayley Atwell and Vanessa Kirby at the world premiere of the latest Mission: Impossible film in Italy earlier this week.

The cast of Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One were in attendance at the event in Italy on Monday evening, with the premiere held that night in the city of Rome.

It's the seventh instalment in the film series which stars Tom, 60 - who has also been a producer in it - as Ethan Hunt, an agent of the fictional Impossible Missions Force (IMF).

He is joined in the upcoming action film - which is set to be released next month - by returning cast members Vanessa, Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg.

A synopsis reads: "[The team] embark on their most dangerous mission yet: to track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands."

It further teases: "With control of the future and the fate of the world at stake, and dark forces from Ethan's past closing in, a deadly race around the globe begins.

"Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than his mission - not even the lives of those he cares about most."
