Tom Cruise has built a career on adrenaline, and few franchises showcase that better than Mission: Impossible. Now, one of its most celebrated entries is finding a new audience on free streaming. Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation has surged to fifth place on Pluto TV's top 10 list, according to FlixPatrol, proving that even a decade later, Ethan Hunt's rogue mission still captivates.
Released in 2015, Rogue Nation follows Cruise's Ethan Hunt and his IMF team as they are forced underground after the CIA shuts down their operation. Hunt goes rogue to dismantle the Syndicate, a deadly network of rogue spies led by the sinister Solomon Lane. The film is praised for Christopher McQuarrie's sharp direction and script, and its iconic opening stunt—Cruise hanging off the side of a flying Airbus A400M—remains a fan favorite. With a 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes, it's the third-highest-rated film in the franchise.
Pluto TV's top 10 is packed with crowd-pleasers, including Cruise's own Top Gun: Maverick, Reese Witherspoon's Legally Blonde, and the Adam Sandler comedy Blended. But Rogue Nation stands out for its blend of espionage, practical stunts, and a stellar ensemble. Rebecca Ferguson's breakout performance as Ilsa Faust is a highlight, alongside Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Sean Harris, and more.
