Mission: Impossible (1966)

S1E1 Pilot

IMF team leader Dan Briggs gathers his crew for their inaugural mission: to retrieve two nuclear warheads from a hotel vault in Santa Costa, currently held by General Rio Dominguez. Jim and Willy manage to sneak safecracker Terry Targo into the vault, where he devises an escape plan. The team successfully captures Dominguez, but Targo suffers broken fingers during the process. With no other options, Briggs decides to lock himself and Dominguez in the vault, threatening to enter a random combination unless Dominguez reveals the code. Dominguez ultimately gives in. Once the warheads are disarmed, Willy retrieves them. Briggs stays behind, using Targo's earlier intel to escape during a fireworks diversion created by Barney. The team makes a frantic dash for safety and boards a plane just in time to evade military capture.
