Tom Cruise heads up the new Impossible Missions team, whose latest assignment is to unmask a traitor in the organisation. However, the mission ends in disaster with the rest of the team wiped out. With Cruise the only survivor, he is accused of being the mole, forcing him to go on the run to clear his name. Meanwhile, the real villain intends to sell information about the world's undercover operatives to the highest bidder.

Director Brian De Palma festoons his film with explosions, plot twists and nerve-jangling moments galore.

Mission Impossible airs on Saturday, 9 May at 20:00 on Sony, channel 127 on DStv.
