Mission: Impossible (film): Difference between revisions

[[Tom Cruise]] headlines each film as ace IMF agent Ethan Hunt and Ving Rhames plays Luther Stickell, Ethan's go-to guy for [[Mission Control]] and computer hacking. Each film outlines an [[Impossible Mission Collapse]] of varying kinds and it usually involves the heroes trying to fix the mess that has developed (often with regular violence, something the original show purposefully avoided).

 

 

'''''Mission Impossible''''' (1996) - Jim Phelps is called upon for a new assignment dealing with very sensitive information regarding IMF agents and their cover IDs. He brings in his standard crew, including point man Ethan Hunt, and they plan out how to recover the info. Unfortunately, their mission was compromised horribly and Ethan finds himself the lone survivor and the top suspect as a traitor. The discovery of two other survivors doesn't alleviate his paranoia, so he goes into the list of blacklisted former IMF agents to put together another team to get to the bottom of their original mission and the conspiracy behind it. Directed by Brian DePalma, the movie became well known for the interweaving and [[Gambit Pileup|complicated plotting.]] (And the signature image pictured above) This is the least violent Mission Impossible film, by far. And given that you can clearly see an eye gouging for a few frames and that it's indeed directed by ''[[Carrie|th]][[Scarface|at]]'' Brian DePalma, that's saying something.
