Mission: Impossible is a series of action spy thriller films based on the television series of the same name, produced by and starring Tom Cruise as IMF agent Ethan Hunt.

The series follows the missions of the Impossible Missions Force’s main field team under the command of Hunt, who is forced to take over after the team is betrayed from within in the first film.
