Hollywood star Tom Cruise has praised the cast and crew of his latest "Mission: Impossible" movie for their dedication and hard work in overcoming a series of filming challenges.
The seventh film in the hit franchise, "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One," was forced to halt production in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When filming resumed, the production team had to implement strict safety protocols to protect the cast and crew.

At the film's London premiere on June 24, Cruise took the opportunity to thank the cast and crew for their hard work. "I don't take anything for granted when making these films, especially with that time period," he said. "I'm just very proud of what we all did together."
Cruise was joined on the red carpet by his co-stars Simon Pegg, Hayley Atwell, Rebecca Ferguson, and Vanessa Kirby. The film's director, Christopher McQuarrie, was also in attendance.
"Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One" is the first in a two-part film series. The second part is scheduled to be released in 2024.
In the film, Cruise reprises his role as Ethan Hunt, a secret agent who must race against time to stop a dangerous terrorist organization. The film also stars Henry Cavill, Pom Klementieff, and Ving Rhames.
The film has been praised by critics for its action sequences and Cruise's performance. It is expected to be a box office success.
