Movie was based upon the series on TV.
It featured stories about Impossible Mission Force (IMF)(Note that the adjective goes in the right place here), a team of secret agents employed by the United States government. The team is sent on covert missions to fight dictators, evil organizations, and crime lords.
Whenever a mission was deemed 'impossible' to complete, it got stamped with a stamp that read "Mission: Impossible"
The colon is the separator between the general word mission and the descriptor, which could be (I assume) anything from Mission: Easy through Mission: Slightly More Difficult than Opening Those New Plastic Packages all the way up to Mission: Impossible

The name of the film is correct. Usage of adjectives after the noun goes back to times when French (Norman Conquest) was influential; there are quite a few terms in English that have the adjective in the same position: Postmaster General.
Sometimes it can be used as a stylistic device for the sake of emphasis.
