In 'Final Reckoning,' the eighth Mission: Impossible film, an astonishing action sequence unfolds after the two-hour mark, showcasing Ethan Hunt's extreme physical challenges. Tom Cruise's character encounters ferocious villains and life-threatening situations, including hypothermia and deep-sea dives. The climax involves an aerial chase between Hunt and the antagonist Gabriel, who pilots an antiquated biplane. While they pursue a powerful AI program dubbed 'The Entity,' the complex narrative and mechanics of the plot fade into the background, overshadowed by the electrifying visual spectacle.
Ethan Hunt has been put through the wringer and, in a way, so have we. But Cruise, God bless him, is saving the best for last.
Gabriel jumps into the cockpit of an old-school biplane that looks like it's been in cryofreeze since WWI was signed.
Ethan somehow manages to stow away on a second biplane piloted by one of Gabriel's interchangeable goons, clinging to its underbelly.
Not that it matters. It may be the least important techno-McGuffin in the history of cinema.
