The Mission: Impossible series has garnered a lot of praise since its release. The lead actor Tom Cruise has received a lot of praise for his action and acting. Fans and critics alike have commended Cruise’s dedication to performing his action stunts. However, in his latest movie fans found an action sequence quite similar to Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 2.

Uncharted 2, like Mission: Impossible series, is filled with action sequences. And it is a high possibility that some action scenes overlap between the movie and the game. Uncharted 2 director Bruce Straley has brought this to light.

Mission: Impossible’s latest movie has a similar action scene to Uncharted 2

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is out now in theatres. Many action fans are swarming the theaters to watch this Tom Cruise movie. However, Game Awards creator Geoff Keighley recently pointed out that one action sequence in the movie seems familiar to a game. The fans were quick to guess the game to be Uncharted 2. Now Straley has sent out a tweet calling the copy “the sincerest form of flattery”.

The 2009’s Uncharted 2 was a smashing hit for its action sequences. Furthermore, protagonist Nathan Drake hanging from a train car was one of the most iconic glimpses from the game. Now 2023’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One has recreated that scene. Despite that, this scene has been present in the media industry in the past too. The Lost World: Jurassic Park, which came out in 1997, had a similar scene in the movie.

However, the director of the latest Mission: Impossible movie, Christopher McQuarrie, has claimed to draw influence from the action scenes of Uncharted games in the past. Furthermore, 2015’s Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation’s plane scene was inspired by 2011’s Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. Now looks like the director has taken inspiration from Uncharted 2 in his latest entry.

Whether or not the train sequence has been influenced by Uncharted 2,  Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is having a blast at the box office.
