Editor's Note

Forty years before it hit the big screen via a glossy Tom Cruise remake, the classic 1960s 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 Daniel Briggs (Steven Hill), master of disguise Rollin Hand (Martin Landau), electronics expert Barney Collier (Greg Morris), tough guy Willy Armitage (Peter Lupus), 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. Smart and iconic, the vintage series is resurrected in this collection of 28 digitally remastered, remixed, and high-definition episodes from the debut season, which netted two Emmy Awards (Best Dramatic Series and Best Actress for Barbara Bain) and featured guest appearances by Lloyd Bridges, Carroll O'Connor, Ricardo Montalban, George Takei, and Eartha Kitt.
