The third film in the Mission: Impossible franchise took the longest to be released out of all of them, with six years in between 2000’s Mission: Impossible ’s Mission: Impossible III. Directed by Brian De Palma, the 1996 film is more of a contained, paranoid spy thriller and ultimately, the franchise goes above and beyond the first film’s story and action sequences, but Mission: Impossible will always be the one that started it all. Along with Cruise and Rhames, Mission: Impossible also stars Voigt as Jim Phelps, one of the original series’s characters, Vanessa Redgrave as an arms dealer named Max, as well as Kristin Scott Thomas and Emilio Estevez as other major characters. In order to prove his innocence, Hunt goes on the run in search of the real mole, intent on stopping them before they do any more damage. Unfortunately, surviving doesn’t do him much good, as IMF, in turn, suspects Hunt as being a mole in the organization and the one responsible for the killings. When a whole team of IMF agents is killed during a mission, Cruise’s Hunt is left as the only survivor. Based on the TV series of the same name that ran from 1966 to 1973, Mission: Impossible, the first film in what is now a multi-billion-dollar-earning franchise, takes the original story and turns it on its head.
