The “Mission: Impossible” film series, approaching its 30-year milestone, is set to release its next installment, “The Final Reckoning,” in May. To commemorate the franchise and its association with Tom Cruise, a museum exhibit has been curated. According to Variety, the Museum of Moving Image (MoMI) in Astoria, New York, is introducing the “Story and Spectacle” initiative, emphasizing Cruise’s dedication to performing stunts throughout the “Mission: Impossible” series. The exhibition will highlight significant stunts or set pieces from each film, such as the Burj Khalifa sequence in “Ghost Protocol” and Ethan Hunt hanging onto a plane in “Rogue Nation,” providing insights into their execution.
Barbara Miller, MoMI’s deputy director for curation, expressed enthusiasm, stating, “For almost 30 years, ‘Mission: Impossible’ films have thrilled audiences with suspenseful stories and unparalleled practical stunts. We’re excited to partner with Paramount Pictures on this major exhibition to explore the series’ unique achievements and create a fun, illuminating experience for fans and visitors.”
The “Mission: Impossible—Story and Spectacle” exhibition is scheduled to open on Friday, April 18, with “The Final Reckoning” arriving in theaters on May 23. Tickets for the exhibit can be purchased through the museum’s official channels.
