Based on the [[Mission: Impossible|television series of the same name]], the plot follows [[Ethan Hunt]] (Cruise) and his mission to uncover the mole who has framed him for the murders of his entire [[Impossible Missions Force]] (IMF) team. Work on the script had begun early with filmmaker [[Sydney Pollack]] on board, before De Palma, [[Steven Zaillian]], [[David Koepp]], and [[Robert Towne]] were brought in. ''Mission: Impossible'' went into pre-production without a shooting script: De Palma devised several action sequences, but Koepp and Towne were dissatisfied with the story that led up to those events. [[U2]] band members [[Larry Mullen, Jr.]] and [[Adam Clayton]] produced an [[electronic dance music|electronic dance]] version of the [[Theme from Mission: Impossible|original theme music]]. The tune went into the top-ten lists of music charts around the world and was nominated for the [[Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance]]. The film was a commercial success, eventually becoming the [[1996 in film|third highest-grossing film of 1996]], and received a mixed-to-favourable response from critics. The film's success spawned the [[Mission: Impossible (film series)|''Mission: Impossible'' film series]]. ==Plot== <!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT, plot summaries for featured films should be between 400 and 700 words. --> Years after the events of the series, [[Jim Phelps]] and his team, the [[Impossible Missions Force]] (IMF), attempt to retrieve the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] [[non-official cover]] (NOC) list from the American embassy in [[Prague]]. Their mission fails: Phelps is shot, his wife Claire dies in a car bombing, and the rest of the team except [[Ethan Hunt]] are eliminated by unknown assassins. Meeting with IMF director Eugene Kittridge, Hunt reveals his awareness of a second IMF team sent to monitor them, and learns the job was a setup to lure out a mole within IMF, who is believed to be working with an arms dealer known as "Max" as part of "Job 314." As Hunt is the only member left, Kittridge suspects him of being the mole, and Hunt flees. Returning to the Prague safe house, Hunt realizes "Job 314" refers to Bible verse [[Book of Job|Job]] 3:14, "Job" being the mole's code name. Claire arrives at the safe house, explaining she escaped the bomb after Phelps aborted the mission. Hunt arranges a meeting with Max, and warns her that the list she possesses has a tracking device. He promises to deliver the real list in return for $10 million and Job's identity. Hunt, Max, and her agents escape just as a CIA team arrives. Hunt recruits two disavowed IMF agents: computer expert Luther Stickell and pilot Franz Krieger. They infiltrate [[George Bush Center for Intelligence|CIA headquarters]] in [[Langley, Virginia|Langley]], steal the real list, and flee to [[London]]. Kittridge, detecting the theft, has Hunt's mother and uncle falsely arrested for drug trafficking. He provides media coverage of the arrest, forcing Hunt to contact him from [[Liverpool Street station|Liverpool Street Station]]. Hunt allows the CIA to trace him to London before hanging up, but is surprised to find Phelps nearby. Phelps recounts surviving the shooting, naming Kittridge as the mole. Hunt realizes Phelps is the mole, having discovered that Phelps stole a [[Gideons]] Bible from a Chicago hotel. He also suspects Krieger as the one who killed the other IMF members on the Prague job, but is unsure whether Claire was involved. Hunt arranges with Max to exchange the list aboard the [[TGV]] train to Paris the next day. On the train, Hunt remotely directs Max to the list. Max verifies it and gives Hunt the code to a briefcase containing the payment along with Job in the baggage car. Ethan calls Claire and tells her to meet him there. Meanwhile, Stickell uses a jamming device to prevent Max from uploading the data to her servers. Claire reaches the baggage car, finds Phelps and tells him Ethan will arrive shortly. She questions the idea of killing Ethan, since they will need a fall guy for the money, when Phelps reveals himself to be Ethan in disguise, exposing her as a co-conspirator. When the real Phelps arrives and takes the money at gunpoint, Hunt dons a pair of video glasses that relays Phelps to Kittridge, blowing Phelps' cover as the mole. Phelps threatens to kill Ethan, but shoots Claire instead when she intervenes. He climbs to the roof of the train, where Krieger is waiting with a helicopter and a tether. Hunt connects the tether to the train itself, forcing the helicopter into the [[Channel Tunnel]] after the train. Hunt places an explosive chewing gum on the helicopter windshield, killing Krieger and Phelps. Kittridge arrests Max and recovers the list, then reinstates Hunt and Stickell as IMF agents, but Hunt is unsure if he'll accept. As he flies home, a flight attendant approaches him and asks, through a coded phrase, if he is ready to take on a new mission, just as she asked Phelps at the beginning. yeah nigga ya hurd. dis movie was dope I recommend ==Cast== {{div col}} * [[Tom Cruise]] as [[Ethan Hunt]] * [[Jon Voight]] as Jim Phelps * [[Emmanuelle Béart]] as Claire Phelps * [[Ving Rhames]] as [[Luther Stickell]] * [[Vanessa Redgrave]] as Max * [[Henry Czerny]] as Eugene Kittridge * [[Jean Reno]] as Franz Krieger * [[Kristin Scott Thomas]] as Sarah Davies * [[Emilio Estevez]] as Jack Harmon * [[Ingeborga Dapkūnaitė]] as Hannah Williams * [[Karel Dobrý]] as Matthias * [[Marcel Iureş]] as Alexander Golitsyn * [[Rolf Saxon]] as CIA analyst William Donloe * [[Olegar Fedoro]] as Kiev agent * [[Dale Dye]] as Frank Barnes {{div col end}} ==Production== ===Development and writing=== [[Paramount Pictures]] owned the rights to the television series and had tried for years to make a film version but had failed to come up with a viable treatment. Tom Cruise had been a fan of the show since he was young and thought that it would be a good idea for a film.<ref name="Portman">{{cite news |last=Portman |first= Jamie |title= Cruise's Mission Accomplished |work= [[The Gazette (Montreal)|The Gazette]] |location= Montreal |page = E3 | date= May 18, 1996}}</ref> The actor chose ''Mission: Impossible'' to be the first project of his new production company and convinced Paramount to put up a $70 million budget.<ref name="Penfield">{{cite news | last= Penfield III | first =Wilder |title=The Impossible Dream |work=[[Toronto Sun]] |page = S3 |date= May 19, 1996}}</ref> Cruise and his producing partner, Paula Wagner, worked on a story with filmmaker [[Sydney Pollack]] for a few months when the actor hired Brian De Palma to direct.<ref name="Green">{{cite news |last= Green | first= Tom | title= Handling an impossible task A 'Mission' complete with intrigue | work = [[USA Today]] |page =1D | date= May 22, 1996 |url= https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/USAToday/access/16346882.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT}}</ref> They went through two screenplay drafts that no one liked. De Palma brought in screenwriters [[Steve Zaillian]], [[David Koepp]], and finally [[Robert Towne]]. According to the director, the goal of the script was to "constantly surprise the audience."<ref name = "Green" /> Reportedly, Koepp was paid $1 million to rewrite an original script by [[Willard Huyck]] and [[Gloria Katz]]. According to one project source, there were problems with dialogue and story development. However, the basic plot remained intact.<ref name = "Brennan">{{cite news |last= Brennan |first= Judy |title=Cruise's ''Mission'' |work= [[Entertainment Weekly]] | date=December 16, 1995}}</ref> The film went into pre-production without a script that the filmmakers wanted to use.<ref name = "Green" /> De Palma designed the action sequences but neither Koepp nor Towne were satisfied with the story that would make these sequences take place. Towne ended up helping organize a beginning, middle and end to hang story details on while De Palma and Koepp worked on the plot.<ref name="Green" /> De Palma convinced Cruise to set the first act of the film in Prague, a city rarely seen in Hollywood films at the time.<ref name = "Penfield" /> Reportedly, studio executives wanted to keep the film's budget in the $40–50 million range, but Cruise wanted a "big, showy action piece" that took the budget up to the $62 million range.<ref name="Brennan" /> The scene that takes place in a glass-walled restaurant with a big lobster tank in the middle and three huge fish tanks overhead was Cruise's idea.<ref name = "Penfield" /> There were 16 tons in all of the tanks and there was a concern that when they detonated, a lot of glass would fly around. De Palma tried the sequence with a stuntman, but it did not look convincing and he asked Cruise to do it, despite the possibility that the actor could have drowned.<ref name="Penfield" /> The script that Cruise approved called for a final showdown to take place on top of a moving train. The actor wanted to use the famously fast French train the TGV<ref name="Penfield" /> but rail authorities did not want any part of the stunt performed on their trains.<ref name="Green" /> When that was no longer a problem, the track was not available. De Palma visited railroads on two continents trying to get permission.<ref name="Green" /> Cruise took the train owners out to dinner and the next day they were allowed to use it.<ref name="Penfield" /> For the actual sequence, the actor wanted wind that was so powerful that it could knock him off the train. Cruise had difficulty finding the right machine that would create the wind velocity that would look visually accurate before remembering a simulator he used while training as a skydiver. The only machine of its kind in Europe was located and acquired. Cruise had it produce winds up to 140 miles per hour so it would distort his face.<ref name="Penfield" /> Exterior shots of the train were filmed on the [[Glasgow South Western Line]], between [[New Cumnock]], [[Dumfries]] and [[Annan, Dumfries and Galloway|Annan]]. Most of the sequence, however, was filmed on a stage against a blue screen for later digitizing by the visual effects team at [[Industrial Light & Magic]].<ref name="Wolff">{{cite news |last=Wolff |first=Ellen |title=''Mission'' Uses Sound of Silence |work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] | date=May 22, 1996}}</ref> The filmmakers delivered the film on time and under budget with Cruise doing most of his own stunts.<ref name="Portman" /> Initially, there was a sophisticated opening sequence that introduced a love triangle between Phelps, his wife and Ethan Hunt that was removed because it took the test audience "out of the genre", according to De Palma.<ref name="Green" /> There were rumors that the actor and De Palma did not get along and they were fueled by the director excusing himself at the last moment from scheduled media interviews before the film's theatrical release.<ref name = "Portman" /> ===Music=== {{Main|Mission: Impossible (soundtrack)}} The film uses [[Lalo Schifrin]]'s original "[[Theme from Mission: Impossible]]". However, originally [[Alan Silvestri]] was hired to write the film score and had, in fact, recorded somewhere around 23 minutes of the score.{{citation needed|date=March 2016}} During post-production, due to creative differences, Silvestri's music was rejected and replaced with new music by composer [[Danny Elfman]].{{citation needed|date=March 2016}} According to some sources, the decision to replace Silvestri was made by producer Tom Cruise.<ref>{{cite journal | url = http://www.runmovies.eu/?p=4679 | title = Composer Alan Silvestri Disavowed | publisher = Runmovies.eu | place = EU | date = 2000 | first1 = Ford A. | last1 = Thaxton | first2 = Randall D. | last2 = Larson | journal = Soundtrack Magazine | volume = 19 | number = 74 }}</ref> [[U2]] bandmates [[Larry Mullen, Jr.]] and [[Adam Clayton]] were fans of the TV show and knew the original theme music well, but were nervous about remaking Schifrin's legendary theme song.<ref name="Gunderson">{{cite news |last=Gunderson |first=Edna |title=U2 members on a 'Mission' remix |work=[[USA Today]] |page =12D | date=May 15, 1996 |url= https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/USAToday/access/16341979.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT}}</ref> Clayton put together his own version in New York City and Mullen did his in [[Dublin]] on weekends between U2 recording sessions. The two musicians were influenced by [[Brian Eno]] and the European dance club scene sound of the recently finished album ''[[Original Soundtracks 1|Passengers]]''. They allowed Polygram to pick its favorite and they wanted both. In a month, they had two versions of the song and five remixed by DJs. All seven tracks appeared on a limited edition vinyl release.<ref name="Gunderson" /> The song entered the top 10 of music charts around the world, was nominated for the [[Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance]] in 1997, and was a critical and commercial success.{{citation needed | date = May 2012}} ==Marketing== [[Apple Computer]] had a $15 million promotion linked to the film that included a game, print ads and television spot featuring scenes from the TV show turned into the feature film; dealer and in-theater promos; and a placement of Apple personal computers in the film. This was an attempt on Apple's part to improve their image after posting a $740 million loss in its fiscal second quarter.<ref name="Enrico">{{cite news |last= Enrico |first= Dottie |title= Apple's mission: Hollywood Computer ads take new turn |work=[[USA Today]] |page =4B |date=April 30, 1996 |url= https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/USAToday/access/16362018.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT}}</ref> ==Reception== ===Original television series cast=== Several cast members of the [[Mission: Impossible|original 1966–73 TV series]] reacted negatively to the film. Actor [[Greg Morris]], who portrayed [[List of Mission: Impossible characters#Barney Collier|Barney Collier]] in the original television series, was reportedly disgusted with the film's treatment of the Phelps character, and he walked out of the theater before the film ended.<ref>{{Citation | url = http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/9605/29/imposssibles/ | title = 'Mission: Impossible' TV stars disgruntled | publisher = CNN | date = May 29, 1996}}</ref> [[Peter Graves]], who played Jim Phelps in the original series as well as in the [[Mission: Impossible (1988 TV series)|late-1980s revival]], also disliked how Phelps turned out in the film.<ref>{{cite news | url = http://articles.cnn.com/2010-03-14/entertainment/obit.peter.graves_1_phelps-character-mission-publicist | archive-url = https://archive.is/20120709062419/http://articles.cnn.com/2010-03-14/entertainment/obit.peter.graves_1_phelps-character-mission-publicist | dead-url = yes | archive-date = July 9, 2012 | publisher = CNN | title = Interview with Maggie Q | date = November 14, 2007 }}</ref> Graves had been asked to reprise Phelps, but turned it down when he learned his character was going to be revealed to be a traitor. [[Martin Landau]], who portrayed [[Rollin Hand]] in the original series, expressed his own disapproval concerning the film. In an MTV interview in October 2009, Landau stated, "When they were working on an early incarnation of the first one — not the script they ultimately did — they wanted the entire team to be destroyed, done away with one at a time, and I was against that. It was basically an action-adventure movie and not ''Mission''. ''Mission'' was a mind game. The ideal mission was getting in and getting out without anyone ever knowing we were there. So the whole texture changed. Why volunteer to essentially have our characters commit suicide? I passed on it ... The script wasn't that good either!"<ref>{{citation | url = http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2009/10/29/martin-landau-is-not-interested-in-appearing-in-a-mission-impossible-movie/ | title = Martin Landau Discusses 'Mission: Impossible' Movies | publisher = MTV | type = blog | date = October 29, 2009 | deadurl = yes | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20091228001842/http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2009/10/29/martin-landau-is-not-interested-in-appearing-in-a-mission-impossible-movie | archivedate = December 28, 2009 | df = mdy-all }}</ref> ===Box office=== ''Mission: Impossible'' opened on May 22, 1996 in 3,012 theaters—the most ever up to that point—and broke the record for a film opening on Wednesday with [[United States dollar|US$]]11.8 million, beating the $11.7 million ''[[Terminator 2: Judgment Day]]'' made in 1991.<ref name="Thomas">{{cite news |last=Thomas | first =Karen |title= 'Mission' is successful, breaks Wednesday record | work= [[USA Today]] | page = 1D | date =May 24, 1996 |url= https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/USAToday/access/16348281.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT}}</ref> The film also set house records in several theaters around the United States.<ref name="Hindes">{{cite news |last=Hindes |first=Andrew |title= ''Mission'' Cruises to B.O.
