The original Mission: Impossible television show is probably closer to the reality of a few of the missions that intelligence operatives undertake, but much of it is still fiction. What is probably most real is the planning that goes into executing an espionage mission in a foreign country. It's very unlikely that there is a dedicated team that receives secret instructions by, say, a recording in a janitor's closet in the back of a hotel kitchen, for example. Teams are put together all the time for special missions, but those teams typically only exist for a specific mission. Also, much of the drama that goes into the typical spy movie or television show is missing from the real operations, mainly because of the advance planning. So I think the answer to your question is "no," the IMF is probably not real, but the care and strategy with which they put together their missions certainly is real.
