Mission: Impossible (1996) - Close Call Scene (5/9) | Movieclips

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Ethan (Tom Cruise) starts to copy the NOC list, but a rat and one drop of sweat threaten to jeopardize the mission.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
After he is framed for the death of several colleagues and falsely branded a traitor, a secret agent embarks on a daring scheme to clear his name in this spy adventure. Though it drew its name from the familiar television series, director Brian DePalma's big-budget adaptation shares little more with the original show than the occasional self-destructing message and the name of team leader Jim Phelps (Jon Voight). The film focuses not on Phelps but his protégé, Ethan Hunt (a reserved Tom Cruise), who becomes a fugitive after taking the blame for a botched operation. He responds by banding together with a group of fellow renegades, and he is soon maneuvering his way through a twisted series of double crosses that mainly serve as excuses for spectacular high-tech action sequences. Much of the activity revolves around a missing computer disk, with the film's most famous scene depicting Hunt's delicate efforts to retrieve the disk from a secure, well-alarmed room in CIA headquarters.

Can't believe Tom Cruise started MI at age 34 and still there are 7 MI movies and he is still doing it at almost 60..

[tylernolan]

When it's in the middle of the night and you want to quietly get a piece of cake but it's in a plastic container.

[PAGOEVER]

I love there's no music in this scene, because it might of dull the moment, just only hearing the minor things.

[delegendy]

The part of the movie where no one dares to move and eat their popcorn.

[EGRJ]

According to IMDB, Cruise's head kept hitting the floor, until he had the idea to put coins in his shoes for balance.

[rashta]

It was such a close call that the glasses start sweating

[PuppetierMaster]

the most realistic reenactment of the floor is lava

[Wglass]

Words can't describe how difficult this was in the video game.

[reichspropagandaministerfu]

This is exactly how careful I am before I text a girl I like.

[danielquiroz]

One of the most tense scenes in film history. Leave it to Cruise.

[Downsmooth]

Way back in '96, I remember the theater was dead silent in this scene. Until I realized I was holding my breathe and started giggling uncontrollably. Lol! Yeah, that was me that you heard.

[Jamo-pqqf]

This scene could have been its own standalone short film with no context and still been amazing

[ZachValkyrie]

Remember when that computer was state of the art?

[MeneTekelUpharsin]

Was the rat part of the security system?

[rocketlabd]

As iconic as this scene is, just never understood why a place that could afford the most state of the art security couldn't at least have the most basic motion sensor inside that would have just prevented this whole thing lol.

[CedricYarishVideo]

Tom Cruise kind of looks like steve jobs here

[ForJustice-blrs]

Tom Cruise must've had fun working on this scene.

[Irshu]

there is no way to catch that sweat drop

[eddiejones]

First mission impossible is my favorite. I'd put it up there as one of the best spy movies I've seen. Love the tone and espionage vibe. The tension here in this scene is unreal.

[firehawk]

0:50 how many times did he fall on his face while filming this 😂
