With a budget of 80 million it reached 457 million and became a blockbuster.
Returning to the 1966 TV series, which had a remake in the mid 80s, it is faithful to it in many ways but its idea of a reboot.
Here it tells of a mission, in search of a list of undercover agents, that goes wrong and Ethan Hunt (Cruise) is blamed for it. He seeks to clear his name and avenge his fallen friends.
The main success was to keep the original music and the secrecy in giving the mission with "the following message will be destroyed in".... Or "If one of your agents is caught the agency will deny all responsibility".... Yes, impossible and suicidal missions.
From here Tom Cruise, who serves as producer, began to establish himself as an action hero who has maintained a steady and consistent box office that has lost him the ability to continue filming.
Here the acclaimed Brian de Palma moves well between the thriller that gave him so much success. Danny Elfman's music helps a lot and the effects, for being before the last century, were well crafted to prepare us for what was to come.
