Netflix just added the first 5 'Mission Impossible' movies — here's my ranking from best to worst
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to stream the first five 'Mission: Impossible' movies on Netflix. As part of its July slate, the world's most popular streaming service has added Ethan Hunt's first five missions. While 2018's 'Mission: Impossible - Fallout' is my personal favorite in the franchise, this quintet includes some of the best Hollywood action blockbusters ever made. From the dizzying heights of 'Ghost Protocol,' which sees Tom Cruise scale the world's tallest building in an acrobatic feat that would make Spider-Man blush, to the ultra-intense opening of 'Mission: Impossible III,' which I very often watch standalone. It's that good. "M: I" is a marvellous popcorn franchise. To celebrate Netflix becoming the new streaming home for (most, but not quite all eight of) the 'Mission: Impossible' movies, I decided to rank them from best to worst. But to be honest, they're all worth watching, so even my bottom pick (no spoilers) should be in your watchlist. Selecting my top pick of the 'Mission: Impossible' movies added to Netflix this month was tricky, but I went with 'Rogue Nation' in the end. That's largely because I think the thrilling opera scene is perhaps the series' peak, and because it marks Rebecca Ferguson's first appearance as former MI6 agent, Ilsa Faust. Plus, Sean Harris' Solomon Lane remains 'Mission: Impossible's' best villain, and the lead into the iconic theme tune is exquisite. In 'Rogue Nation,' Ethan Hunt faces off against The Syndicate, a clandestine network of operatives seeking to create a new world order. The shadowy group represents a fantastic foe for Hunt and his team to battle against, and 'Rogue Nation' sees the series comfortably in its groove following the standard-setting 'Ghost Protocol.' It's a phenomenal action spy movie. Watch on Netflix now By the fourth entry, most franchises are running on fumes, but 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' bucked the trend and delivered a popcorn spy flick with more memorable moments than I can list here. The fan-favorite sequence that sees Hunt scale the Burj Khalifa in Dubai often gets all the plaudits, but I think my highlight is the Kremlin infiltration scene as Hunt and Benji (Simon Pegg) break into the securely guarded Russian complex before the fortified landmark is blown up with Cruise in full sprint. After this terrorist attack, Hunt and his team are blamed for the fallout, and so the IMF team must go on the run to locate those truly responsible and bring them down. The whole disavowed by the government and left without any backup shtick is a bit routine for the spy genre, but it's well-worn ground for a good reason. Plus, Jeremy Renner's inclusion as William Brandt gives Cruise an extra playmate. It's a shame he only stayed around for one more sequel. Watch on Netflix now The third 'Mission: Impossible' movie hooks you from the very start with an opening scene that makes it very clear that new villain Owen Davian (an ever-excellent Philip Seymour Hoffman) is not playing around. From here, the situation escalates further, and while director J. J. Abrams creates plenty of well-constructed firefights, they lack the memorable nature of future installments in the franchise. Still, 'Mission: Impossible III' has aged well. The flick opens with Ethan Hunt having retired from the IMF team, but naturally, this doesn't last all that long, as he's drawn back into the world of espionage to bring down international arms broker Davian. There's a larger focus placed on Hunt's relationship with Julia (Michelle Monaghan), which adds even higher stakes as his wife gets caught up in the dangerous situation. Watch on Netflix now The movie that started it all, and while it's set to celebrate its 30th birthday next year, it remains a gripping watch. The events of the recent 'The Final Reckoning' have recontextualized some of the first 'Mission: Impossible', making now a great time to (re)watch. And while it's relatively quaint in comparison to some sequences that would follow, Hunt's mission to infiltrate the CIA headquarters at Langley remains a fantastic sequence that is still referenced and parodied in movies and shows to this day. That iconic scene, which sees Hunt dangling on a thin wire, with one wrong move sure to alert the authorities to his presence, may be the movie's enduring moment, but the opening, a mission in Prague gone wrong with disastrous consequences, shouldn't be overlooked either. Ultimately, this is the movie that introduced the world to Ethan Hunt, and its place in Hollywood history is secured for that reason alone. The fact that it's a seriously enjoyable watch in its own right is a bonus. Watch on Netflix now Unquestionably the most divisive 'Mission: Impossible,' the 2000s sequel saw director John Woo bring his trademark frenetic style to the series with somewhat mixed results. For those who just want explosive action above all else, you'll find enough to satisfy here, but the narrative is flawed, and the characters are significantly less compelling than future installments. Even Hunt himself seems to lack some of his usual gravitas. There's perhaps a reason that it's the sole entry in the franchise with a rotten score on review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes. This time, Hunt is attempting to locate and destroy a deadly virus known as Chimera, and that involves coming face-to-face with a rogue IMF agent who has stolen the only antidote. Even if it's the worst of the bunch, it's far from a complete disaster, with enough well-choreographed Woo action to hold your attention, just don't expect it to match up to the standard set by future installments in the long-running blockbuster franchise.

The Cult Content Boom: What's Behind Our Obsession?

(Photo by Matthew NAYTHONS/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images) Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images From streaming documentaries to bestselling books and theatrical productions, cults are trending. The groups have become a dominant force in contemporary media, reflecting deeper societal anxieties and a search for meaning in a world that can often feel disconnected. The International Cultic Studies Association estimates that up to 3% of people are involved in a cult at some point in their lives. Accurate data is scarce, given that members of groups rarely self-identify. The definition of a cult can also vary widely. Is cult membership increasing, or has awareness and reportage of the groups climbed? What is measurable is the exponential growth in public interest around cults. Streaming platforms have released dozens of high-profile productions in recent years, reflecting audience demand. The stories are compelling, often blending sure-fire elements of true crime, psychology (primarily the surrender and loss of self, replaced with a groupthink mentality), deception, betrayal and all manner of drama. Netflix has cornered the cult documentary genre, releasing productions like Wild Wild Country (2018), which examined the Rajneeshpuram commune headed by Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. Also, Bad Vegan: Fame. Fraud. Fugitives. (2022) and How To Become A Cult Leader (2023).

The shortlist: Bad Faith (Amazon Prime, 2024); Born in Synanon (Paramount+, 2023); The Family (Netflix, 2019); Breath of Fire (HBO, 2024); Heaven's Gate: The Cult of Cults (HBO, 2020); Desperately Seeking Soulmate: Escaping Twin Flames Universe (Amazon Prime, 2023) and Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath (A&E, 2016).

Getty Images Further back, there are numerous documentaries about the world's most well-known cult, the Peoples Temple, led by Jim Jones, given the mass murder-suicide of more than 900 of its members in Guyana in 1978. The standout documentary mini-series on the cult was recently released in 2024, reflecting renewed interest: Cult Massacre: One Day in Jonestown (Hulu). The three-episode production includes rare archival footage and recordings of Jones, along with survivor and eyewitness interviews. 'I Would Never Join A Cult' Think Again What's behind the fixation with cults? 'The fascination with cults fundamentally rests in the idea that people believe that they can't be drawn into one,' says Dr. Mara Einstein, author of Hoodwinked : How Marketers Use the Same Tactics as Cults (Prometheus, 2025). 'The first step in the recruitment process is to find vulnerable people. We are all vulnerable at some point in our lives—we've moved to a new town, gotten a divorce, lost a loved one—which means we could all be lured into a cult.' The definition of cult has broadened, fueling greater interest. About 50 years ago, a cult was equated with the word 'dangerous.' Think Jim Jones, the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas and the Manson Family cult led by Charles Manson. 'Because of digital media, the definition has expanded to be closer to the 17th century one, when cults were groups that venerated a person or ideology,' says Einstein, who is a professor at Queens College, City University of New York. From Analysis To Memoir: Books Dissect The Phenomenon Beyond documentaries, the book market has weighed in: academic analyses, books on how to identify cults and help loved ones, along with memoirs. The New York Times bestselling memoir Stolen Innocence by Elissa Wall (William Morrow, 2008) relays life inside Utah's FLDS polygamist sect. The author's courtroom testimony helped convict sect leader Warren Jeffs in 2007. Uriah Wesman performs his solo show, "Three Cults Walk Into A Bar," at the Lyric Hyperion near Hollywood. Damu Malik Journalist Mike Rothschild wrote The Storm Is Upon Us: How QAnon Became a Movement, Cult, and Conspiracy Theory of Everything (Monoray, 2021). The Financial Times called the book 'timely and chilling.' 'Rothschild is brilliant at outlining the process by which people who were not previously drawn to political extremism come to see themselves as 'patriotic researchers,' able to see patterns in the information that is fed to them,' the review continued. Sean Prophet, son of Elizabeth Clare Prophet who headed Church Universal and Triumphant before she died in 2009, recently penned My Cult Your Cult : How Cults Destroy Truth and Bolster Authoritarian Power (Amika Press, 2025). Born into the cult, Prophet draws comparisons between the group's apocalyptic dogma (braced for a Soviet nuclear strike, the church built extensive Montana bomb shelters in the early 1990s), and Christian Nationalism, QAnon and the MAGA movement.

Trump at his rally on August 2, 2018 (Photo by) Getty Images The resurgence in cult interest represents a 'deeper shift in how humans process belonging, belief and betrayal in a world saturated with uncertainty,' says Dr. Christopher Kaufman, a business consultant and professor at Southern California State University. 'The delivery systems have gone exponential,' he adds, citing the apps, subreddits, monetized livestreams and Discord servers that lure people in. 'This isn't just happening in sects. It's visible in brand loyalty, political tribes, startup cultures and influencer fandoms.' Kaufman posits a new question, in contrast to asking why people are fascinated with cults. 'What happens when every institution starts to look like one?' Taking It To The Stage Theatrical productions have also delved into the allure of cults, or at least the broad idea of them. The Cult of Love by Leslye Headland opened on Broadway in 2024. It explored religion and the widely divergent beliefs within families. The overarching theme? Families can also feel cultish. In 2018, the Phoenix Theatre Ensemble premiered Topher Cusumano's The Cult Play, which detailed the 'Soul Scouts,' a religious cult shepherded by a charismatic mystic. Members of the Osho Ashram in Pune, India, celebrate the 1st anniversary of the death of their leader Bhagwan Rajneesh, later known as Osho (photo by Getty Images The Pros & Cons of Killing Your Cult Leader , presented by Weird Sisters Theatre Project, is a satirical comedy that tracks five women hierarchs in a cult. The production examines patriarchal systems and themes of manipulation, control and the search for belonging. The play premiered at Atlanta's Aurora Theatre in 2023. In Los Angeles, Uriah Wesman's solo show, Three Cults Walk Into A Bar , details his life growing up in three different cults, the primary being Church Universal and Triumphant, which, as a young man, I also was a part of. Wesman's unique perspective is that he was born into the group (I joined at age 21 and stayed for six years). During his show at the Lyric Hyperion near Hollywood, the comedy actor summed up the cult I knew so well, although from a later era: the leader's fiery dictations (messages she channeled via the 'ascended masters'), the climate of paranoia epitomized by various 'astral entities' that were forever hungry for members' souls, and so forth. Uriah Wesman performs his solo show, "Three Cults Walk Into A Bar," at the Lyric Hyperion near Hollywood. Damu Malik In such groups, fear is central to keeping members in check. I remember meeting an ex-member of Yogi Bhajan's group, 3HO (Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization). After discovering we had both been in a cult, I asked him what would happen should he leave the organization, betting that I would get a good answer. Elizabeth Clare Prophet headed the Church Universal and Triumphant. Denver Post via Getty Images 'If we left, we were told that we would spend our next 9,999 lifetimes as a cockroach,' he replied. I responded: 'If we left, we were told we would not reincarnate for 10,000 years, and then it would be on some hellhole of a planet in a distant galaxy.' I told him that he had the better deal, given that his cockroach incarnations would be over at the exact time I would finally be able to reincarnate, and then only on some horrid planet. Finding another cult brother is rare; we became fast friends. Yogi Bhajan in 1974. Denver Post via Getty Images Hearing Cult Stories Can Deliver A Psychological Thrill Indeed, humor is the way that Wesman dealt with the psychologically twisted mess of his childhood; he's also a stand-up comedian. Hearing stories like the ones Wesman relays can give people a 'psychological thrill,' says clinical psychologist Avigail Lev, director of the Bay Area CBT Center. 'Cult content provides voyeurism wrapped in moral distance. We get to explore the darkest edges of human behavior while safely positioning ourselves as the rational outsider. 'I would never fall for that,' we think—while binging eight hours of content about people who did.' But part of that thrill is 'the realization that maybe we aren't so different,' she adds. 'That under different conditions—enough grief, enough doubt, enough loneliness—we too might have been drawn in. That's why the fascination sticks. Cults don't just tell us something about 'them.' They tell us something about us.'
