Mission: Impossible
ActionCrimeDramaThriller46 min per episode
Each assignment begins with a recorded message that self-destructs, sending the Impossible Missions Force into a new operation against mob bosses, hostile governments, and other protected targets. Steven Hill is original team leader Dan Briggs; Peter Graves’ Jim Phelps later becomes the face of the IMF, guiding a handpicked crew through plans built on surveillance, impersonation, planted evidence, and exact timing. The series turns espionage into a team exercise, with every mission hinging on false identities, hidden gadgets, and carefully staged deception. Its signature briefing-on-tape setup and Lalo Schifrin theme became core parts of the franchise’s identity.
