The current iteration of Mission: Impossible is led by Tom Cruise, but it's based on the '60s spy TV series of the same name and jumped to the big screen in 1996, at which point Tom Cruise took the reins as its spy protagonist Ethan Hunt. The film would go on to spawn an ongoing franchise that stands as one of the longest-running of any action movie series ever produced, with the seventh installment, Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One, arriving in the summer of 2023.

In addition to the series' impressive stunt work, Cruise also engages in thrilling fight scenes during each Mission: Impossible movie. These combat sequences have consistently shown that Ethan Hunt is a very well-trained martial artist.
