When Ethan Hunt, the leader of a crack espionage team whose perilous operation has gone awry with no explanation, discovers that a mole has penetrated the CIA, he's surprised to learn that he's the prime suspect. To clear his name, Hunt now must ferret out the real double agent and, in the process, even the score.

— Critical consensus, summarised
Brian De Palma's slick first MI is more spy thriller than action picture, anchored by the Langley vault sequence that became iconic on first viewing. Critics liked the craft; the franchise's reputation only grew from here.
