Editor's Note
Forty years 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 globetrotting exploits of a covert taskforce of government spies--team leader James Phelps (Peter Graves), electronics expert Barney Collier (Greg Morris), tough guy Willy Armitage (Peter Lupus), and master of disguise The Great Paris (Leonard Nimoy, replacing Martin Landau)--the series distinguished itself with intricate plotting, high-tech gadgetry, inventive cinematography, and, of course, an indelible theme song. Smart and iconic, the vintage series is resurrected in this collection of episodes from the fourth season.
