Mission Impossible movies are known for their high-flying action sequences, which have always shocked pop culture. While the recently released seventh movie of the franchise left moviegoers in shock as Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt flew the bike off the cliff, the movie is struggling at the Box Office. Along with the action set pieces, its iconic theme music has been the same for years.
