Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning Teaser Trailer

The teaser draws on nostalgia for the franchise, including footage from the Brian De Palma-directed 1996 film Mission: Impossible, the film that started it all. “Our lives are not defined by any one task. Our life is the sum of our choices. Whatever you were, whatever you did, it’s all led to this,” says a voice-over in the trailer. Even better, after all the awesome action shots, it ends with Ethan saying, “I need you to trust me one last time.” And shed tears for the fans.
