mission: impossible

An American multimedia franchise based on a fictional secret espionage agency known as the Impossible Missions Force (IMF). It began as a CBS television show created by Bruce Geller that aired from 1966 to 1973 and was later revived on ABC with a new cast of characters which aired from 1988 to 1990.

Beginning in 1996, it also included a series of action spy films starring Tom Cruise as IMF agent Ethan Hunt. There have been eight Mission: Impossible films thus far, with the latest being The Final Reckoning, released in 2025. The seventh, Dead Reckoning Part One, also featured a promotional collaboration with Spy x Family (post #6482952, published on Twitter both by Spy x Family and Mission: Impossible's official Japanese account), which included the Spy x Family cast standing in for Dead Reckoning Part One characters in the movie poster (for example, Twilight as Ethan).
