熱門電視劇Mission: Impossible講述「虎膽妙算」是個團隊，他們專門負責解決最高難度的機密事件，不僅任務給的機密，而且成敗自行負責，政府完全不承認有這個組織和任務，每次任務的給定，都是來自錄音帶中出現的聲音，任務交代后，聲音即被銷毀。團隊首領「龍頭老大」負責企畫，他深諳底下每個成員的能力，做出最精密萬無一失的布局，讓每個人適任適份的扮演好自己的角色，而后按布局完成任務。這很典型的是冷戰(zhàn)時代會出現的影集。 An elite covert operations unit carries out highly sensitive missions subject to official denial in the event of failure, death or capture. This 7-year series chronicled the adventures of the Impossible Mission Taskforce (IMF), a team of government spies and specialists who were assigned "impossible missions" by the unseen "Secretary". Although the cast varied over the years, the main characters included The Team Leader (Dan Briggs the first season, then Jim Phelps the other six), The Techno-Wizard (Barney Collier), The Strongman (Willy Armitage), The Master of Disguise (first Rollin Hand, then The Amazing Paris), and The Femme Fatale (Cinnamon Carter, Casey, Dana Lambert, Mimi Davis). The series is best known for its opening mission assignment (conducted by a pre-recorded tape), the theme composed by Lalo Schifrin, the leaders selection of mission agents from a dossier, the opening briefing, the intricate use of disguises and a typical "mask pulloff" scene near the end of most episodes, and the relative lack of characterization of the characters.
