"Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning - Part One" Will Be Longest Movie in Franchise

The highly-anticipated movie "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One" will be the longest entry in the franchise.

The runtime for the upcoming movie will clock in at two hours and 36 minutes without credits. In contrast, 2018's "Mission Impossible: Fallout", the longest movie in the franchise by far had a runtime of two hours and 27 minutes.
