Ethan Hunt is the main protagonist of the film series. He was a pupil of Jim Phelps who worked with him and his team on various missions.

In the first movie, a mission in Prauge to apprehend an IMF traitor named Alexander Golitsyn goes horribly wrong and results in the deaths of Jim, his wife Claire, and teammates Hannah Williams, Jack Harmon and Sarah Davies. However Ethan is able to survive, but upon meeting with Director Eugene Kittridge he is told that the whole mission was a mole hunt and everything he had been lead to believe about the mission was false information. Ethan is then accused of being the traitor and goes on the run and is labeled Disavowed. Using information from Kittridge he goes on the hunt for an arms dealer code named "Max" who will lead him to the real mole who Ethan discovers is called "Job". Ethan also discovers that Claire had survived the betrayal as well and ground him at the same house. Ethan was able to deal with Max to get enough money to hire two Disavowed agents Luther Stickwell and Franz Krieger to find the Noc list ( a list of all the deep undercover agents ). Upon finding it, he discovers that the mole Job is actually Jim Phelps who turns up alive the next day trying to pass off Kittridge as the mole. The next day on a train, Ethan reveals that he knew about Jim because of his bible from Drake Hotel. Jim shoots and kills Claire but Ethan is able to dodge his bullet and goes after Jim. The fight takes them on top of the train with Krieger piloting a helicopter attached to the train. Eventually Ethan plants a bomb disguised a chewing gum to the helicopter killing both Jim and Krieger and taking him off the disavowed list.
