About this sound
This is the wordless Mission Impossible theme, a fast orchestral tune driven by a repeating five-beat pulse and racing strings. It feels tense and thrilling, turning a small task into a covert operation with close calls and last-second timing. Lalo Schifrin wrote it for the 1966 television series, and it later became the centrepiece of the Tom Cruise films from 1996.
