After he is framed for the death of several colleagues and falsely branded a traitor, a secret agent embarks on a daring scheme to clear his name in this spy adventure. Though it drew its name from the familiar television series, director Brian DePalma's big-budget adaptation shares little more with the original show than the occasional self-destructing message and the name of team leader Jim Phelps (Jon Voight). The film focuses not on Phelps but his protégé, Ethan Hunt (a reserved Tom Cruise), who becomes a fugitive after taking the blame for a botched operation. He responds by banding together with a group of fellow renegades, and he is soon maneuvering his way through a twisted series of double crosses that mainly serve as excuses for spectacular high-tech action sequences. Much of the activity revolves around a missing computer disk, with the film's most famous scene depicting Hunt's delicate efforts to retrieve the disk from a secure, well-alarmed room in CIA headquarters. ~ Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide

Mission Impossible 1 is one of my all time favorites. Don't read the synopsis if you haven't already-it gives too much away. This movie combines Hitchcock suspense and paranoia with slam bang action sequences and features one of the best plots you'll ever find in a summber blockbuster. Mission Impossible 1 is A plus, 5 star entertainment. In my humble opinion this first Mission Impossible movie is a thousand times better than MI 2.

Good action packed movie with lots of twists and turns. You better pay attention if you want to keep up.

This movie is as thrilling as the series with the action, disguises, twists and turns. However it started a trend that continued even into the remake of "The Green Hornet" and that is taking a good guy from the series and turning them into a evil bad guy in the movies.

Good in its day, but hasn't aged well. As a fan of the classic series, I have never been fond of some of the plot twists.

This was my first time seeing this movie, and although it was good, it wasn't the best. I don't know if I didn't like it all that much b/c it just seemed old or it just isn't that good. I meant the plot was good, but I felt bored at times. The technology was an eye sore! I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the moives though!

This film has a lot of nostalgic value for me. I just recently viewed again and I have to say this is still a great movie 'till this day. I'll admit the story is a little too crazy to be completely believable, but it's not too far fetched. I consider the first Mission Impossible to be a sophisticated James Bond movie. The films lead Tom Cruise was at the top of his game for this one. The film also has a great supporting cast that really get's the job done. This movie is tense, action packed, and thoroughly entertaining. I highly recommend it! 9/10

This disk is so scratched that our dvd player cold not start. The image was pixilated. I'm looking for the area to report the DVD.
