Overview

An Eastern Bloc nation is trying to develop a mind-controlling drug, a project led by Dr. Karl Turek. Phelps devises a plan to play Turek off against a rival, Colonel Borodin.

But the complicated plan goes awry and the episode ends with Phelps under fire by guards.

Primary

The film's central conflict involves a shadowy organization seeking global control, a universally condemned threat. The narrative focuses on individual ingenuity and decisive action to counter this threat, presenting the core problem and solution in an apolitical context of good versus evil.

The movie features visible diversity within its main cast, which was progressive for its original broadcast era, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. Its narrative maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of traditional identities, focusing on espionage without explicit social critique.

Secondary

The film 'Mission: Impossible - The Controllers' does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its plot or character arcs. The narrative focuses solely on its espionage premise, resulting in no specific portrayal of queer identity to evaluate.

Based on available information, the film 'Options' (movie, 1969) does not contain identifiable transsexual characters or themes, thus precluding an evaluation of its portrayal.

The film features Casey Randall as a primary female agent. Her role involves espionage, infiltration, and technical support. However, there are no scenes depicted where she or any other female character engages in and wins direct physical combat against one or more male opponents using hand-to-hand or melee weapon skills.

This 1969 episode of the original Mission: Impossible television series features the established cast in their canonical roles. No characters, whether from prior installments or external source material, are depicted with a different gender than their original portrayal.

The characters in "Mission: Impossible - The Controllers" maintain the racial portrayals established from their initial appearances in the television series. No character originally established as one race in prior canon or source material is depicted as a different race.
