Storyline

Jim Phelps is the head of a super-secret government agency ("Impossible Missions"), and is often given secret anonymous covert missions to attempt; quite often they are unmasking of criminals or the rescuing of hostages. He picks his team depending on which tasks need to be done. One thing is vital on an Impossible Mission: the mission must be carried out in entire secrecy, often relying on high-tech equipment and elaborate deceptions. Written by Murray Chapman <muzzle@cs.uq.oz.au>

Trivia

Martin Landau and his then wife Barbara Bain jointly left the show after the third season due to a contract dispute after their demands for a salary raise weren't met. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: In almost every episode someone has to pick a lock. They insert the pick, wiggle it a few times and open the door. To actually open a lock you must also rotate the cylinder just as you do with a key. For this you would use a second "L" or "Z" shaped pick to exert pressure while you moved the pins with the first pick. This is never done. See more »

Quotes

Voice on Tape: Good morning Mister Briggs.

Crazy Credits

Episode titles were not shown on-screen. Although this became commonplace
with dramatic series in the late 1980s, it was unusual in the 1960s for a
one-hour action series to not have episode titles. See more »
