Features: DVD
The hit series Mission: Impossible returns to DVD, featuring all 23 Season Five episodes on 6 discs! By the fifth season, the show's changing times meant changing crimes, as the emerging drug culture forced the IMF to spend more time in America, battling organized crime and drug czars.But the winning formula stayed the same: Jim Phelps (Peter Graves) gets his assignment, Barney Collier (Greg Morris) makes the required special effects, and Willy Armitage (Peter Lupus) supplies the muscle. And while Paris (Leonard Nimoy) has the makeup skills to become any character required, it's the team's newest member -- the gorgeous Dana Lambert (Lesley Ann Warren) -- who gives this season an added boost, and makes this set of Mission: Impossible the most thrilling DVD experience yet!
"All-time classic '60s spy series...in glorious, remastered transfers and 5.1 sound..." Andy Dursin, The Aisle Seat
"...the gold standard by which other spy thrillers have always been measured. There's an attention to detail here that is rarely seen on TV..." Cynthia Boris, DVD Verdict
"Sure the movies are exciting but this is what started them off. As a television series the stories still hold up amazingly well." Home Theater Info
"...consistently thrilling and suspenseful, and always technically impressive." Michael Rubino, DVD Verdict
"...[it's] easy to see why viewers came back week after week, for plots as finely tuned and well-sprung as a good watch." Noel Murray, The Onion A.V. Club
Editor's Note
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.
