Imagine if in The Force Awakens, Han Solo had turned out to have arranged for the outright murders of Poe, C-3PO and, hell, let\u2019s throw Chewbacca in, that occurred early on in the film, as he tells Rey how he\u2019s actually joined the First Order and is working with them, forcing Rey to kill him to stop his evil plan. Or if in Creed 2, the fix was in and Rocky Balboa was actually helping the Dragos defeat Adonis for his own, bitter reasons. And then, um, I guess Adonis has to kill Rocky\u2026 Let\u2019s just go with the analogy here, okay? <\/p>\n

Such was the case 30 years ago this week, on May 22, 1996, when the first Mission: Impossible movie opened. Based on the TV series that ran for seven seasons between 1966-1973, the film involved IMF agent Ethan Hunt left as the only survivor when his team is killed off, while on a mission to protect a list of CIA undercover agents from being stolen. As the story progressed, Ethan\u2019s hunt (hah!) for the mole who betrayed them, and framed him in the process, leads to the big reveal that the actual treasonous villain was team leader Jim Phelps, the heroic protagonist from the TV series, where he was played by Peter Graves. The movie then concluded with Jim dying in a fight with the film\u2019s new hero, Ethan. <\/p>\n

Were fans of the original series upset about this? They were! And even with the internet in its early days, I recall seeing complaints popping up on some film sites and stories on entertainment shows about it. Most of that is lost to time, but you can find more recent<\/u><\/a> complaints from old school fans since it still pops up as a talking point. But a few things helped soften the blow for Paramount and keep it on the down low. There\u2019s the obvious lack of social media (and the internet in general still in its infancy), which stopped things from amplifying in the way it would have today. A new actor, Jon Voight, was playing Phelps, meaning this didn\u2019t actually have to be considered the same version of the character. And lastly, most hardcore Mission: Impossible TV show fans who cared about Jim Phelps were, generally speaking, older than the target audience for the movie and Paramount was likely happy to ignore their complaints as long as they didn\u2019t snowball. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The 1990s were an especially busy time for old TV series being revived as modern movies. Whether comedy or drama, still culturally relevant or mostly forgotten, every old show with any sort of name value (and even a couple that didn\u2019t have much of that any longer) seemed up for this treatment: The Brady Bunch, McHale\u2019s Navy, The Fugitive, The Beverly Hillbillies, freaking Car 54, Where Are You? And that\u2019s not even counting the many animated shows revamped as live-action films\u2026 <\/p>\n

But while there were several hits among these films \u2013 and The Fugitive even became an Academy Award-winner \u2013 the example that turned into the biggest long-term success has to be Mission: Impossible. M:I wasn\u2019t just a big hit in its own right, it would launch an eight-movie (and counting?<\/u><\/a>) franchise that has brought in well over $4 billion worldwide in the decades since. This is especially notable and impressive; while Mission: Impossible had been a hit series, the show really didn\u2019t have the staying power that kept people watching again and again or particularly popular with the generations that followed. <\/p>\n

Something Old, Something New<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As someone who grew up in the \u201880s and \u201890s, I vividly recall how constant syndicated reruns and merchandise made the \u201cbefore my time\u201d likes of The Brady Bunch, Star Trek, Batman \u201866, and The Twilight Zone incredibly familiar to my friends and I. Yet Mission: Impossible was, for the most part, not really something on the radar for us, beyond recognizing the title and knowing that amazing and iconic theme music, which was still a go-to in commercials and as a needle drop in movies. <\/p>\n

Fans of the original lamented that the movie quite literally blew up the team dynamic the show was known for, killing off almost everyone at the film\u2019s start.\u201c<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

That allowed the first M:I to be its own thing for many of us watching, even as fans of the original lamented that the movie quite literally blew up the team dynamic the show was known for, killing off almost everyone at the film\u2019s start so that Tom Cruise\u2019s Ethan Hunt could take center stage. But the Jim Phelps twist got a lot of attention in particular because it was so egregious for old school fans. Though he wasn\u2019t in the show\u2019s first season \u2013 he replaced Steven Hill as the original lead, Dan Briggs \u2013 Graves\u2019 Phelps was the center of the series from Season 2 until the end, serving as the show\u2019s focal point and poster boy. He was for all intents and purposes M:I\u2019s Captain Kirk and it would sound outrageous to suggest making him an outright irredeemable villain in a new story. <\/p>\n

And yet not only did the first Mission: Impossible movie do this, but the filmmakers originally wanted Graves to return to play the character, which would have much more firmly positioned the film as a legacy sequel to the TV show (and its brief 1988 revival). This would have made the outrage over Phelps\u2019 heel turn much more intense, removing any distance a new actor provided. As it turned out, Graves himself heavily disliked the idea, turning down the offer to reprise the role. In an interview with CNN<\/u><\/a>, Graves lamented how the filmmakers chose to make Phelps the villain, preferring they simply had his character \u2013 whether established by a cameo or just mentioned via dialogue \u2013 go into retirement, and a new character be the IMF traitor ultimately played by Voight. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Of course, none of this stopped Mission: Impossible from being a huge hit, bringing in over $450 million worldwide on an $80 million budget. Its success is easy to understand because that first movie still holds up. Hiring Brian De Palma as director, who already had a sizable and acclaimed body of work under his belt with movies like Carrie, Dressed to Kill, and Blow Out, was an offbeat but inspired move, utilizing his knack for crafting suspenseful sequences on a much larger scale than ever before. Cruise, in the midst of a hell of a run of movies in the \u201890s \u2013 he\u2019d have another major hit later in the same year with Jerry Maguire \u2013 put his movie star charisma to terrific use as Ethan, and we get the first glimmers of his \u201cput me in, Coach\u201d propensity to do his own stunts that would escalate to increasingly wild, death-defying levels as the series continued. Here, it was more down-to-earth stuff that was still highly unusual for a movie star, like actually running from a massive exploding aquarium on set, instead of using a stuntman. And of course, the terrific CIA break-in sequence and its instantly iconic image of Cruise as Ethan hanging by those wires was one of the most talked about movie scenes of the year. It\u2019s still referenced and memed to this day. <\/p>\n

Getting Away With the Jim Phelps Twist<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Today, it feels like Mission: Impossible would have a much harder time \u201cgetting away\u201d with the Jim Phelps twist without too much of an uproar because the online pile-on and blowback would probably be so much louder and angrier. You see it happen a lot now with a big IP-based movie, where some folks are genuinely upset about something being altered in a new adaptation, even if they didn\u2019t have a personal connection to the source material. This is an example that\u2019s now already 13 years old, but I directly recall the over-the-top fury about the Mandarin twist in Iron Man 3 including people writing variations of \u201cI didn\u2019t mind it at first, but then I heard that\u2019s not what happened in the comics and that sucks!\u201d as though they should be upset by osmosis. I have a feeling it would go that way with Jim Phelps being made into a bad guy today. A small group of Mission: Impossible TV show fans would be legitimately upset and it would snowball into a bunch of other people screaming about it as though they also knew who Jim Phelps was a month before. <\/p>\n

The filmmakers originally wanted Peter Graves to return to play Phelps, which would have much more firmly positioned the film as a legacy sequel to the TV show\u201c<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Of course, the flip side of this is acknowledging that, yeah, it was <\/em>pretty crappy to sell out Phelps like that! I think people can generally be far too precious about changes in adaptations, but in this case, I get why this particular change would be so upsetting because it really was altering not just the details about Jim\u2019s backstory, but who he was as a heroic figure. <\/p>\n

From my perspective, I mostly just thought Mission: Impossible was a really cool movie and am grateful for it, considering it would turn into an absolutely fantastic staple of an action franchise as the years went on. It\u2019s a shame that last year\u2019s Final Reckoning may have ended things \u2013 should it really be the finale \u2013 on an uncharacteristically weak note, but it was notable how one of that film\u2019s problems was trying too hard to connect back to the franchise\u2019s past. That included a very clumsy reveal that Shea Whigham\u2019s Jasper Briggs (get it with his last name??) was actually Jim Phelps\u2019 son, in what seemed like a half-hearted attempt to suddenly once more address Ethan Hunt killing Mission: Impossible’s original hero so long ago.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/output><\/p>\n

If Tom Cruise truly is done with Mission: Impossible, no doubt Paramount will eventually come up with some way to revive the series, and it would be cool if, one day, Jim Phelps can once more stand proud as the leader of the IMF and be redeemed in the form of a new incarnation who\u2019s once more a true hero to his core. But in the meantime, I\u2019d still recommend checking out the 1996 movie again. It remains a really fun watch filled with clever beats, like how Ethan pretends to believe Jim\u2019s fake story while actually piecing together that he\u2019s the one behind the team betrayal, or the crowd-pleasing moment when \u201cJim\u201d pulls off a classic Mission: Impossible mask, revealing he\u2019s actually Ethan, tricking Claire (Emmanuelle Beart) into revealing she was Phelps\u2019 accomplice. <\/p>\n

Well, crowd-pleasing to those of us who didn\u2019t have a prior history with Jim Phelps to sour us on all of this, of course. It\u2019s complicated!<\/p>\n
