Ving Rhames wears an unidentified watch

Ving Rhames plays Luther Stickell in Mission: Impossible - Fallout, the IMF hacker who has worked with Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt since the first film back in 1996. Christopher McQuarrie directed this 2018 sixth installment, which a lot of people consider the best one yet. Luther has been on the team longer than anyone else, and Rhames keeps him grounded while the series around him keeps building bigger stunts. In Fallout, Luther handles tech support while Ethan chases nuclear weapons across Paris, London, and Kashmir, and he also gets a quieter scene asking whether all this dangerous work is actually worth it. The film brings back Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa Faust and Sean Harris as Solomon Lane, which finally makes the franchise feel like it has a real world with recurring stakes. Rhames has been in every Mission: Impossible movie, making Luther the only character besides Ethan with that record. McQuarrie actually gives him something to do this time, letting Rhames show how decades of impossible missions wear on a person. His watch has not been identified.
