Paramount ‘Streams’ Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning on YouTube in Morse Code

The studio uses an in-universe Morse-code broadcast to draw attention to the movie’s premium digital debut after its theatrical run.

Overview

  • Paramount posted a YouTube livestream that plays the full script of Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning as dots and dashes instead of video.
  • The video description frames the transmission as a compromised ‘secure livestream’ due to the franchise’s rogue AI, asking viewers to help decode it.
  • The stunt coincided with National Radio Day and follows this week’s premium digital release, with the film available to buy with bonus features.
  • Comments on the YouTube post were disabled, while reactions to the official X announcement highlighted the gag as playful trolling.
  • Easter-egg imagery in the stream art hints at deeper franchise callbacks, and the film is slated to arrive on Paramount+ at a later date.
