Mission Impossible 1: Plot 

The film begins with a scene in which the IMF's operation ends in failure and the team members of the IMF (Impossible Mission Force) agent Ethan Hunt (played by Tom Cruise) die. After this incident, Ethan Hunt questions his competence and goals as a spy for the IMF. In this situation, IMF director Jim Phelps will be informed by the US government that the NOC agent list (the secret agent list of the US government) has been stolen. The list contains a list of important people linked to secret intelligence from various countries, which could threaten the security of the world if it gets into the hands of malicious people.

Jim Phelps is asked to gather a team of special abilities to carry out this impossible mission in order to regain the list. The mission is to retrieve a list of NOC agents from the CIA headquarters at the U.S. Embassy. However, during this mission, Jim Phelps' betrayal causes the team to die in the course of the mission, except Jim Phelps and his wife, Claire Phelps and Ethan Hunt.

In the process, Ethan Hunt is misunderstood and pursued as an internal traitor to the IMF. Ethan Hunt, along with Claire, Ruther Stickel, and Pratz Krieger, secretly infiltrates the CIA headquarters in Langley to find the real traitors of the IMF, and he gets a list of NOC agents. Ethan Hunt finds a list of NOC agents at the CIA headquarters, but when he finds out that Jim Phelps and Claire are traitors, he informs the IMF of this and he makes a plan to keep the list of NOC agents and carries it out. In the process, when the IMF finds out that Jim Phelps and Claire are traitors, Ethan Hunt is framed. However, Claire is killed by Jim Phelps, and Jim Phelps eventually dies on the way out.


 

Mission Impossible 1: An impressive scene

The movie connects the core contents around several symbolic scenes. While connecting each of these scenes very well, it shows a very good story composition even though it is a spy action movie. This makes the audience fall in love with the interesting story that they watch until the end of the movie.

The first scene is about meeting the director of the IMF and being mistaken for a traitor to the IMF, but eventually running away after all of his team members die while on a mission to secure the NOC agent list. The IMF director actually created the NOC agent list to find a traitor within the IMF, and Ethan Hunt, the only survivor, is misunderstood as a traitor who was captured by Max and faces arrest. Ethan Hunt is on the verge of arrest when he blows up the restaurant's aquarium.

What makes this scene especially important is that it symbolically shows the entire plot of the film. In other words, finding the IMF's traitor is the heart of the film, in which the core plot is revealed. Later, the stories are about Ethan Hunt's search for the IMF's traitor and escape from being framed. The picture below shows Ethan Hunt running away after detonating a gum bomb, making the scene very impressive when the aquarium explodes.

The second scene is a secret infiltration into the CIA headquarters in Langley to secure the NOC list. It's probably the most famous scene in Mission Impossible 1. This scene is a very simple story about infiltrating and securing a NOC list, but it's a great scene that makes viewers very nervous through a lot of factors such as sweat falling, knife falling, mouse appearing, and string suddenly loosening.

The third scene is when Jim Phelps, who thought he was dead, meets again and finds out that the IMF's traitor is Jim Phelps. This scene is the heart of the whole story.

The first Mission Impossible movie revolutionized the paradigm of action movies.

Each film in the series demonstrated technological innovation, especially the style and spectacular visual effects in action scenes, which made the series even more impressive. The various stunts and action sequences, starting with the first episode of Mission Impossible, were visually fascinating, and many films have since imitated similar techniques and styles.

In addition, the Mission Impossible series also influenced the complexity of storytelling and plots. Each film deals with complex conspiracies and strategic espionage, and this style, which began with the first episode of Mission Impossible, inspired many other films.

The success of the series has greatly affected not only the spy action genre, but also Tom Cruise's status as a movie star. His passionate stunts and action scenes impressed the audience, and as a result, other actors have increased their movement to try and copy similar levels of action scenes.
