The scene delivered by Paramount Pictures marked a triumphant return to the festival for both the studio and Cruise, last in town for the premiere of ‘Top Gun: Maverick' in May 2022.

Tom Cruise returned to Cannes three years after "Top Gun Maverick" to electrify the festival all over again with his final "Mission: Impossible" film.

Tom Cruise hit the Cannes Film Festival's red carpet on Wednesday to a live band rendition of the "Mission: Impossible" theme song as organisers pulled out all the stops to celebrate what may be the action star's last appearance in the franchise.
