Mission: Impossible Seasons 1-5 (DVD)

Decades before it hit the big screen via a glossy Tom Cruise remake, the classic television series MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE captivated audiences with its tense and stylish thrill-ride through Cold War espionage. Following the globe-trotting exploits of a covert taskforce of government spies--team leader James Phelps (Peter Graves, replacing the debut season`s Steven Hill), electronics expert Barney Collier (Greg Morris), tough guy Willy Armitage (Peter Lupus), master-of-disguise Rollin Hand (Martin Landau), and femme fatale Cinnamon Carter (Barbara Bain)--the series distinguished itself with intricate plotting, high-tech gadgetry, inventive cinematography, and, of course, an indelible theme song. In the show`s later years, which included roles for Leonard Nimoy and Lesley Ann Warren, the squad increasingly turned from international missions to foiling domestic threats. Smart and iconic, the vintage series is resurrected in this collection of the show`s first five seasons. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
