Mission: Impossible is an American multimedia franchise based on a fictional secret espionage agency known as the Impossible Missions Force (IMF). The 1966 TV series ran for seven seasons and was revived in 1988 for two seasons. It inspired a series of theatrical motion pictures starring Tom Cruise beginning in 1996. By 2011, the franchise had generated over $4 billion in revenue, making it one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time.

As of 2025, the latest media released in the franchise was the live-action spy film Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, which premiered in Tokyo on May 5, 2025 and released internationally on the 23rd of the same month.
