Tom Cruise vs. Artificial Intelligence, Who Wins? The answer is in this action movie available to stream!

Ethan Hunt didn’t finish the race and neither did Tom Cruise. In July 2023, Paramount released the first installment of Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning in theaters, a diptych that sees our hero and his IMF team on their most dangerous mission yet: tracking down a terrifying new weapon before it goes wrong. in his hands and threatens all humanity.

With control of the future and the fate of the world hanging in the balance, when the dark forces of his past resurface, Ethan embarks on a deadly race across the globe. Faced with a powerful and mysterious enemy, Ethan realizes he can’t put anything above his mission—not even the lives of the people he loves.

A true success in cinemas, with a sequel expected next May, this Mission Impossible 7 played the suspense card to the end by not revealing the identity of the enemy that Tom Cruise has to fight. The superstar actor, at the height of his bravado, chose to take on AI in his latest saga (because no humans seem to be up for it). A machine that can make decisions is called an “entity”.

A turning point in the saga?

While the Mission Impossible saga thus far has been steeped in pure espionage, with its share of action, stunts, revelations and betrayal, this seventh opus takes a slightly different turn. Christopher McQuarrie’s film really takes care of the fantasy of science fiction by creating an omniscient and evil machine. Something that is not realistic at all.

But the introduction of this virus into the story of Mission Impossible serves a larger and perfectly relevant purpose: how artificial intelligence can be used for mass disinformation and thereby upset the global geopolitical balance. In the case of the IMF, this can lead to the downfall of certain civilizations.

But we can count on Cruise, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg and Rebecca Ferguson to save our world in Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning to enjoy from your couch on Paramount+!
