Editor - Eddie Hamilton ACE
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - DEAD RECKONING PART 1 editor Eddie Hamilton ACE has been immersed in the TCEU (Tom Cruise Extended Universe) since 2015 when Eddie took the editorial helm of MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: ROGUE NATION. And with the exception of a quick return to his roots with director Matthew Vaughn for KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE (2017), Eddie has spent all his subsequent time working on MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT (2018), TOP GUN: MAVERICK (2022) and the upcoming MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - DEAD RECKONING PARTS 2 (2024). Both within, and beyond, these three franchises, Eddie has clearly set himself apart as one of the top action-movie editors working today.
In this latest installment of the now 7-film long action franchise, Ethan Hunt and the IMF team must track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity if it falls into the wrong hands. With control of the future and the fate of the world at stake, a deadly race around the globe begins. Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than the mission -- not even the lives of those he cares about most.
