Mumbai, April 7 : Tom Cruise is all set to return to the screen as the IMF agent Ethan Hunt in the eighth installment of the "Mission: Impossible" series, "Mission Impossible Final Reckoning".

Bringing the decades of legacy to a full circle, the makers have unveiled the trailer filled with edge-of-the-seat thrills mixed with deep emotions.

This time the stakes are high as Hunt goes on his most audacious mission to date as more betrayals and more secrets are exposed before him. From the looks of it, it seems that he is getting ready again to fight a powerful rogue AI.

As the AI's influence spreads across the globe putting his allies Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg), Luther Strickell (Ving Rhames), and Grace (Hayley Atwell) in danger, Hunt decides to put his life on the line yet again.

Towards the end of the clip, we move towards an emotional note as we see Hunt bidding goodbye with the words, 'I need you to trust me; one last time."

The makers unveiled the gripping trailer to the audience with the caption, "Every choice, every mission, has all led to this. #Mission Impossible ' The Final Reckoning. May 23, 2025." It opens with a group of government officials discussing the exploits of Ethan Hunt, listed from each of the previous Mission Impossible films. Referring to Ethan, the director of the CIA states, "If we want to bring the world back from the brink, we have to deal with him."
