MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE: The most iconic hacking scene and a mole hunt

The first Tom Cruise Mission: Impossible film debuted in 1996 and created a multi-decade film franchise that continues to this day. Director Brian De Palma created a surprisingly complex storyline, at least for a Hollywood popcorn flick, that focuses around an espionage mole hunt with a surprising twist. The movie delivers the single most iconic scene of computer hacking in film history as well as other highly memorable sequences that have held up well as the decades passed. While not entirely coherent and with some questionable cinematography at times, Mission: Impossible remains a fun and iconic movie worth revisiting. Learn more about your ad choices.
