The tagline for the first Mission: Impossible movie (1996) included phrases like "Only the mission matters," "Every second counts," and emphasized the impossible nature of the task with "Expect the Impossible," focusing on Ethan Hunt's singular chance to succeed.

Overview

When U.S. government operative Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his mentor, Jim Phelps (Jon Voight), go on a covert assignment that takes a disastrous turn, Jim is killed, and Ethan becomes the prime murder suspect. Now a fugitive, Hunt recruits brilliant hacker Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames) and maverick pilot Franz Krieger (Jean Reno) to help him sneak into a heavily guarded CIA building to retrieve a confidential computer file that will prove his innocence.
