Mission: Impossible

Brian De Palma’s sleek reboot of the classic TV series turns 30 in 2026.

Tom Cruise stars as IMF agent Ethan Hunt, framed for treason and forced to clear his name.

The 1996 movie also featured Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, Emmanuelle Beart as Claire Phelps, Jon Voight as Jim Phelps, Jean Reno as Franz Krieger and Kristin Scott Thomas as Sarah Davis.

Mission: Impossible laid the groundwork for one of the longest-running and most ambitious action franchises ever made, which concluded with last year’s Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning.
