The Mission: Impossible franchise is one of the top grossing film series of all time – netting $2.7 billion even before the new movie Fallout -- the sixth in the franchise. In it, Tom Cruise is Ethan Hunt, an agent with the Impossible Missions Force, or IMF. To achieve the impossible, Hunt gets help from all manner of technology – from Spiderman gloves and exploding sunglasses, to shockingly realistic disguises. In real life, scientists are hard at work trying to make these seemingly impossible devices possible.Aug. 2, 2018
