In an unprecedented move, Paramount Pictures is broadcasting the latest Mission: Impossible film, The Final Reckoning, on YouTube in Morse code. The live broadcast, which started Wednesday afternoon, August 20, 2025, is a creative promotion for the film's digital release.

The video, uploaded by Paramount on its official Paramount Movies channel, streams the full movie script translated into Morse code. It's as if the film’s AI antagonist, "The Entity", compromised conventional streaming platforms, requiring the script to be sent in Morse code to avoid detection.

Viewers are encouraged to help decode the Morse Code, with the YouTube description providing hints. The image accompanying the Morse Code broadcast contains Easter eggs from the Mission: Impossible series, adding an extra layer of excitement for fans.

The length of the broadcast is nearly three hours, and it is being done without any interruptions or breaks. The aim of this unique broadcast is to inform viewers about the home release of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, which is now available on digital download.

In addition to this, an exclusive clip from one of the multiple commentaries is available. The broadcast is free, and it is being streamed on io9's website, making it easily accessible to a wide audience.

While Paramount has not provided any comment or clarification regarding the YouTube broadcast, it has been speculated that this innovative approach is a way to generate buzz for the film's digital release.
