Former CIA intelligence officer Andrew Bustamante rates all the "Mission: Impossible" movies, starring Tom Cruise, for realism.

Bustamante looks at field-operation scenes in "Mission: Impossible" (1996), with Ving Rhames and Jon Voight; and "Mission: Impossible 2" (2000), with Thandiwe Newton. He breaks down spy gadgets and disguises in "Mission: Impossible III" (2006), with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Simon Pegg; and "Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol" (2011), with Jeremy Renner and Léa Seydoux. He compares Cruise's physical skills to real-life CIA training in "Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation" (2015), with Rebecca Ferguson; "Mission: Impossible — Fallout" (2018), with Henry Cavill; and "Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One" (2023).

Bustamante was a CIA covert intelligence officer for seven years. He worked in the National Clandestine Service, now-called the Directorate of Operations. He is the founder of EverydaySpy, an education and training platform that teaches espionage tactics for everyday life. He is also the host of "Everyday Espionage Podcast."

Dead Reckoning Part One, starring Tom Cruise, is in theaters July 12.

Glad he confirmed "a spy is just a thief with a government paycheck". 😂

The fact that this guy looks nothing like what you’d expect a CIA agent to look like makes him the PERFECT CIA agent.

"I was rooting for the bad guy." SAME. That interrogation is probably the most intense and frightening thing I've ever seen. So freaking well performed by all the actors involved. It gives me chills watching it.

I love that, unlike most other videos, he finds the similarities instead of the differences. It makes it so much more entertaining

For the motorcycle base jump scene, I thought for a moment he'd say : "We don't discard our equipment on the field because it leaves a trail of evidence."

Great stuff, but I can't believe he rated the Henry Cavill fight without discussing how realistic it is to reload your arms during a fight.

“Could an assassination take place in an opera?” Pretty sure a pretty famous assassination took place in a theater. 😂

I like that this guy chooses to focus on the real stuff as opposed to just pointing out the inaccuracies. Makes the video a lot more fun

I can't believe a CIA agent would ever have hair like that, but of course that's what they want me to believe. Well played CIA.

What I get from this video is that Mission: Impossible movies are actually quite more realistic than I thought they were.

Great video and analysis! For what it's worth, I felt the point of the interrogation scene was to show that Ethan devolving into pure emotion (and losing the ability to access his training) at the sight of his wife being threatened. I don't think it was a mistake that we watch him handle that extremely poorly.

When he’s like: “Ok, we weren’t trained to do that and he actually did that, so I’m giving 10/10” proof that Tom is gold🥇

I love that many unrealistic parts about Mission Impossible has to do with how human Ethan Hunt is. Even as an agent who is supposed to prioritize his mission above everything else, Ethan still tries his best to save anyone he could (even a policewoman he never knew) at the same time as completing his mission. He begged and almost gave up when his wife was being threatened. He could throw away everything he has been taught and break the rules when the situation touches on his human side, and that is still pretty realistic when you think about it. I believe that is what the filmmakers are actually going for; not to make the most realistic spy movie, but to show a man with moral dealing with spy life. So in a way, it may be unrealistic, but it is kind of not impossible to happen in real life.

1:09: 🕵‍♂ A former CIA intelligence officer analyzes the realism of Mission Impossible movies. 4:39: 🕵‍♂ The accuracy of spy techniques and operations in movies like Mission Impossible is low. 7:17: 🕵‍♂ Ethan discusses negotiation tactics and disguises them in a realistic way. 10:24: 🕵‍♂ The accuracy of the spy techniques and actions in the movie clip is analyzed by an expert. 14:08: 🎥 The accuracy of action scenes in movies is critiqued by a CIA agent. 17:45: 🎥 The action scenes in Mission Impossible are entertaining but unrealistic.

As someone who has been trained in quite a few of these situations and has a reasonable understanding of the others, Andrew B is as solidly dead on with his analysis as anyone possibly could be. Andrew is not only extremely well educated and trained but, also very well versed in expressing his position and views. Two big thumbs up!!👍🏼 👍🏼

This guy was very informative, I'd like to see him back again in the future... assuming with all the information he did give, he'll be available for future appearances.

That mission impossible scene with him hovering in that room has to be one of the most iconic scenes in movie history. Its like the matrix bullet time shot.

I love tht the new movie rlly dives into the fact that Ethan never prioritizes his mission over the people he loves or even ppl he don’t rlly know like tht. He’s never done it once. It’s insane to see this CIA agent literally like yea we def wouldn’t have done tht and in the new movie they talk about how Thts his biggest problem. He’s always trying to save everyone but u can’t always in tht line of work. Honestly this just made me luv tht writing for Ethan even more cuz it’s not an accident that he’d save a life and sacrifice the mission. In Ethan’s head he can always salvage the mission but once a life is gone it’s gone. Man.

This is one of the best and most informative videos this series has put out, and I found it really fascinating! (And his admiration of Ethan Hunt really endearing.) I'd love to see more videos or interviews with Andrew on this topic -- kudos!
