help Mission: Impossible FAQ
Why is Ethan Hunt framed in the first Mission: Impossible movie?
After the IMF operation in Prague collapses and his team appears to be killed, Ethan learns that the mission was a trap intended to expose a mole. IMF director Eugene Kittridge suspects Ethan because he is the apparent lone survivor and money has been placed in his parents' account.
What is Ethan stealing during the CIA vault scene?
Ethan's team infiltrates CIA headquarters in Langley to steal the real NOC list from a secure computer. The scene has him suspended from the ceiling above a pressure-sensitive floor while analyst William Donloe works in the room.
Is Jim Phelps the same character from the Mission: Impossible television series?
Yes. Jim Phelps led the IMF team in the original television franchise and appears in the 1996 film as Ethan Hunt's mentor, played by Jon Voight.
Was the Channel Tunnel train sequence filmed on a real train?
The climax depicts Ethan fighting on a high-speed train as a helicopter follows it into the Channel Tunnel. The finished sequence combined large-scale sets, models, stunt work, and visual effects rather than filming the entire action literally on a moving Eurostar.
