A group of extraordinary spies, each experts in their own fields, belong to the Impossible Missions Force (IMF) -- first headed up by Daniel Briggs and later overseen by Jim Phelps. The IMF is a government agency that undertakes only the most hazardous of espionage missions. The beginning of each episode featured the now-famous tape-recorded message outlining the latest task for the group to tackle. Popular during the Cold War, the group's missions usually centered on overthrowing the government of some small communist country causing problems for the free world. The IMF crew included disguise expert Rollin Hand, charmer Cinnamon Carter, electronics technician Barney Collier, strong man Willy Armitage and, in later episodes, disguise-master Paris.

In its first four seasons, Mission: Impossible frequently stretched stories out into two-parters, making the show more like the movie that Geller originally wanted it to be. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Max W @MaxthorWoo 05/15/2024 Without Barbara Bain and Martin Landau at the helm, the fourth season of Mission: Impossible feels somewhat lacking. The show's constant re-skinning and highly repetitive plot structures, coupled with the rotating cast, have significantly diminished its appeal. See more Read all reviews
