We pick the best scenes of Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible movies, like hijacking a helicopter in Mission: Impossible– Fallout.

I needn't have worried: Ethan Hunt lives to fight another day in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. He defeats Gabriel in a mid-air dogfight, and puts the poison pill in the Entity's podkova, allowing it to be trapped in Luther's ingenious 5D data drive.

During a couple of scenes in "Final Reckoning," viewers get a flash of the dossier of Ethan Hunt, the character Tom Cruise has played in the "Mission: Impossible" movies since the big-screen reboot began in 1996. At the top of the first page visible in Hunt's top-secret file is his place of birth — Madison, Wisconsin.
