Answer: Mission: Impossible

"Mission: Impossible" made in 1996. Starring Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, the American agent and Jon Voight as Jim Phelps the leader of Ethan's original team. Here's an interesting tiny error in the movie for all the die-hard fans. Ethan gets blood all over his hands when he finds one of his teammates dead. You see him in the phone booth wiping it off, and right after that he goes to the restaurant to meet one of the heads of his agency.

There we see him throw the gum bomb and his hands are clean, right after that he takes off to the apartment hide-out where his hands are once again covered with blood and he washes it off.

This fact was found at www.imdb.com.
