Collection on Screen:
Mission: Impossible I, II, III
March 22 to April 20, 2025
In the 1980s, there were already plans to turn the successful cult TV series Mission: Impossible (1966–73) into a theatrical film, but only in 1996 did the secret agent series make it to the big screen, tailor-fit to Tom Cruise. As lead actor and producer, he continues to leave his mark on the long-running franchise whose eighth part will soon be released in cinemas. In our collection, we have prints of the first three parts, especially notable because Cruise hired star directors with their own signatures: Brian De Palma for Mission: Impossible, John Woo for Mission: Impossible II, J.J. Abrams for Mission: Impossible III. After the second installment runs in our main retrospective, we will take the opportunity to show all three films over one weekend.
