How to watch every Mission: Impossible movie in Australia

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to count out how many Mission: Impossible movies there are. The easy ones are Mission: Impossible, Mission: Impossible II, and Mission: Impossible III.

Then the Roman numerals disappear, and the subtitles begin. Next is Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol followed by Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, and Mission: Impossible – Fallout.

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning is a little confusing because it was supposed to bump the series tally up by two. But they ditched the "Part One" bit of the subtitle and sagely called the latest one Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning. That's eight movies, so far, with talk of a ninth instalment, so this fast-paced franchise is fast tearing into Fast & Furious territory.

It's all a bit complicated but we've accepted the (almost) impossible mission of showing you how you can stream every movie in the series in Australia. And while there's more than one option, there's not one option if you want to watch them all.

At the time of updating this article, there was no one streaming service that hosted all eight Mission: Impossible movies. That said, once the licensing dust settles, we reckon the safest bet will be to go with Paramount Plus – given Paramount Pictures owns/produces/distributes the theatrical releases – which also has the first six Mission: Impossible movies.

You'll also find those same six Mission: Impossible flicks on Stan, Disney Plus, Binge and Foxtel Now, so there are plenty of options. To watch the seventh Mission: Impossible movie, Dead Reckoning Part One (but no longer part one, which is confusing), you can find it on Netflix alongside Ghost Protocol, Rogue Nation, and Fallout. For free streaming, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning is also on 10 Play, albeit with no other Mission: Impossible movies.

Here's a breakdown of where you can find every Mission: Impossible movie in Australia.

Paramount Plus prices start at $6.99 per month for an ad-supported subscription with one HD stream. You can ditch the ads for $10.99 per month or $97.99 per year for two HD streams. Alternatively, pay $13.99 per month or $124.99 per year for up to four streams with 4K/HDR on supported content.

Stan doesn't have the option to pay annually, but prices start with Stan Basic for $12 per month for one SD stream. Stan Standard costs $17 per month for three HD streams, while Stan Premium is $22 per month for four streams in up to 4K resolution.

Disney Plus costs $15.99 per month or $159.99 per year for the cheapest Standard subscription, which has two simultaneous Full HD streams. Alternatively, pay either $20.99 per month or $209.99 per year for Disney Plus Premium, which has up to four 4K/HDR streams.

Binge prices start at $10 per month or $79 per year for a single ad-supported HD stream. Alternatively, ditch the ads with Binge Standard for $19 a month or $149 a year. Both Binge Standard and Binge Premium support up to 4K-resolution content, with either two (Standard) or four (Premium) streams. Binge Premium costs either $22 a month or $179 for a year.

Foxtel Now doesn't offer annual pricing, and while prices start at $35 per month for Foxtel Now Starter, you'll need the movies add-on to watch Mission: Impossible. Typical pricing is either $84 per month for Foxtel Now Sports + Movies or $104 per month for Foxtel Now Ultimate. Both options have two streams in up to Full HD quality.

The cheapest way to watch the available Mission: Impossible movies on Netflix is $9.99 per month for an ad-supported subscription, which has two streams in up to Full HD quality. It costs $20.99 per month to get rid of the ads for the same plan perks. Alternatively, pay $28.99 a month for four streams in up to 4K/HDR quality.

At the time of updating this article, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning was still showing in cinemas. Forbes reckons that The Final Reckoning will hit Paramount Plus in either July or August 2025, and the timeline makes sense, assuming it's not just for America. For now, head to the cinemas to catch The Final Reckoning. Later in the year, grab a Paramount Plus subscription to watch the latest Mission: Impossible movie.

Mission: Impossible started off as a spy thriller with the 1996 movie adaptation of the TV series from the 1960s and 1970s, following the plight of the Impossible Mission Force (IMF). Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is the star of all of the movies to date, and he has to prove his innocence in the original flick.

Mission: Impossible II takes a dove-filled detour into John Woo’s over-the-top action formula departure, where Hunt is chasing a modified disease in Sydney, Australia. Mission: Impossible III pits Hunt against a twisted arms dealer (Philip Seymour Hoffman).

Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol is the start of the new formula, wherein Hunt and his team are framed for bombing the Kremlin. This is where the iconic stunts come to the fore. Then Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation pits Hunt and his team against an international nemesis organisation as Hunt wrestles with the conflicting loyalties of Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson).

Instead of another standalone adventure, Mission: Impossible – Fallout is a continuation of the Solomon Lane (Sean Harris) threat posed in Rogue Nation. And Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning (Part One and Part Two) are about the IMF pursuing a deadly new threat that intertwines Hunt’s past and the digital future of the world.

Paramount Plus is the home of Taylor Sheridan content, so you'll find popular series like 1923, Lioness, and Landman. For non-Sheridan content, Paramount Plus also has Dexter: Original Sin, Yellowjackets, and exclusive South Park content.

If movies are more your speed, there are newer picks like Smile 2, The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Contraband. Alternatively, check out classics like Mean Girls, Smokin' Aces, and the Tom Cruise-led Oblivion.

Paramount Plus may not be as popular as Netflix or Stan, but it still has content that's worth checking out, especially for soccer fans. Check out the table below to see how it fares next to other major streaming services in Australia.
