Mission: Impossible
1996
***
Director: Brian De Palma
Cast: Tom Cruise, Jon Voight, Emmanuel Beart, Henry Czerny, Jean Reno

The Impossible Missions Force (IMF) are double-crossed during their assignment in Prague, and several of the team members are killed. From there onwards it's a one man show as Ethan Hunt tries to find out who the rat is. Brian De Palma turns the gimmicky TV series into an entertaining but instantly forgettable action film which launched a popular franchise. M: I II, M: I III and M: I - Ghost Protocol followed.
