Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning Live-Streaming Announcement
The official X handle of the Mission: Impossible franchise surprised fans by sharing a link claiming that the full movie was live-streaming on YouTube. The post read: “The mission was compromised. So we had one option left: release everything. Full movie on YouTube now. #MissionImpossible”
The link redirected fans to Paramount Movies’ official YouTube page, where the film was indeed being live-streamed, but not in the way anyone expected. Instead of the actual movie itself, what played was the entire script of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning translated into Morse code.

The livestream has since been taken down, and it’s unclear whether the makers plan to re-upload it, but the X post is still there. The timing of the stunt, coinciding with National Radio Day, suggests it was a creative marketing move to promote the film’s recent digital release.
