The Big Picture For nearly thirty years now, Tom Cruise has been wowing audiences everywhere with death-defacing stunts as Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible series of action films. Based on the original television series from the 1960s, Mission: Impossible was relaunched as a film series in 1996, and we've been thrilled ever since. But every once in a while, a character appears in the Cruise-led series that never returns.
Release Date May 22, 1996 Director Brian De Palma Cast Tom Cruise , Jon Voight , Emmanuelle Béart , Henry Czerny , Jean Reno , Ving Rhames , Kristin Scott Thomas , Vanessa Redgrave Runtime 110 minutes Emilio Estevez Played a Break-out Character in the First 'Mission: Impossible' When the first Mission: Impossible starts, Ethan Hunt works as an agent directed by his friend and mentor Jim Phelps with the Impossible Mission Force .
Along with Jack, agents Sarah Davies and Hannah Williams are killed on the same Prague mission. As it turns out, their team leader, Jim Phelps, and his wife Claire , are the ones behind the betrayal, and though Ethan survived to take the fall, he too was eventually supposed to die. Thankfully, with the help of Luther Stickell , Ethan clears his name and the rest is history, but his team is still dead, and that means no sequel for Jack Harmon.
Estevez later recounted a conversation he had with Cruise a year after Mission: Impossible came out. "'Man, we made such a mistake killing you off,'" Cruise reportedly told him, a sentiment we can't help but agree with ourselves. "He and John Woo were trying to figure out a way to bring me back for part two, but it just didn’t make sense," Estevez explained.
