About Christopher McQuarrie
Christopher McQuarrie (born 1968) won an Oscar for writing The Usual Suspects (1995) before moving into directing with the crime film The Way of the Gun (2000). His partnership with Tom Cruise, starting with Jack Reacher (2012), led to four straight Mission: Impossible films from Rogue Nation (2015) to The Final Reckoning (2025).
Watch in release order: the Impossible films build on each other, and the earlier titles show his style developing. This list covers all six directing features in sequence. Writing-only credits like Edge of Tomorrow (2014) and Top Gun: Maverick (2022) are noted but not listed as entries.
Good to know
McQuarrie is active with several announced projects and no firm dates: a King Conan film for Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Battlefield game adaptation, and Broadsword with Cruise. The Final Reckoning (May 2025) is billed as Ethan Hunt's send-off, though the studio has not ruled out more. Start with Fallout if you only want one Impossible film before tackling the rest.
