Filming began in Italy in February 2020 but was halted by the COVID-19 pandemic. It resumed later that year and wrapped in September 2021, with other filming locations including Norway, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates. It is the first film in the series since Mission: Impossible 2 (2000) not to involve J. J. Abrams and the first film in the series not to be produced by Abrams’s Bad Robot since Mission: Impossible III (2006). With an estimated budget of $291 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made.

The film received generally positive reviews and grossed $570.6 million worldwide. Despite being the tenth-highest-grossing film of 2023, its overall budget and competition from the “Barbenheimer” cultural phenomenon resulted in the film becoming a box-office disappointment. The film was nominated in two categories at the 96th Academy Awards and the 77th British Academy Film Awards. A sequel, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, is scheduled for release in May 2025.
