We don’t know what the future holds for the Mission: Impossible franchise, but the movies will undoubtedly stand the test of time. For almost 30 years, Tom Cruise has helped turn what could’ve been a simple TV adaptation into one of our most beloved action franchises. And, starting next week, you can watch along with him as that saga takes its potentially final turn.

Together, the team geeks out over some of the filmmaking techniques, and Cruise thoroughly enjoys watching himself get hurt performing some of the stunts. Check it out.
