Description:

Phil and Emily continue their Tom Cruise Mini-Series with the adrenaline-fueled Mission: Impossible III! Joining them are screenwriter Liz Hannah (The Post, Long Shot) and writer/producer Brian Millikin (Quantum Leap, Haven) to break down how J.J. Abrams' 2006 entry changed the M:I franchise forever.

From Philip Seymour Hoffman’s chilling villain to the emotional stakes that added new depth to Ethan Hunt, this film marked a turning point for Cruise as an action star. The group discusses Abrams’ signature storytelling style, the Alias influence, and how M:I-3 laid the groundwork for the franchise’s evolution into the Fallout era.

Was this the Mission: Impossible film that redefined the series? And does it hold up today? Tune in for a high-stakes discussion!
