Abstract: Contemporary space，an important theme of contemporary life，is recognized in the realm of economic production，political power，cultural activities and aesthetic appeal far more than the realm of daily life. Film space is not only involved in the production of contemporary space，but also an important part of it. There are three main aspects of space expression in Mission: Impossible series （MIs）:homogeneous spatial presentation，virtual space making and symbolic space abstraction. In this sense，the film space in MIs is a highly symbolic signifier and qualified with characteristics of both realism and visual wonders，thus providing a typical lens to inquire into the features and nature of contemporary space. Placed in the multifaceted contemporary space integrating material，spiritual，psychological，bodily and semiotic dimensions，we are faced with the challenge of how to holistically understand it and assure our own proper positions in it，which is not simply an issue of existence，but also an issue of economic planning，political system，cultural activities and aesthetic awareness. 

Key words: contemporary space, Mission: Impossible, being lost, remapping
