It's all led up to this. The IFM (Impossible Film Majors) and their fearless director Elisabeth Larson have come to the end of their mission to discuss all of the Mission: Impossible films before the release of The Final Reckoning. In their final, desperate bid to prevent cinematic armageddon and save the movies once and for all, the team tangles with a foe that may rip them apart: Christopher McQuarrie's final(?) film in the franchise Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning.

It's time for you to pick a side: is this movie called "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning" or "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One?" This and other such existential questions are discussed but not settled by the rag tag group of espionage novices The Film Majors and their fearless director Elisabeth in their ongoing mission to discuss all of the Mission: Impossible films leading up to the release of The Final Reckoning. As the clock runs out, the team contends with their most contentious adversary yet: Christopher McQuarrie's Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning (or is it Dead Reckoning Part One?).
