TOM CRUISE REVEALED HIS ‘MOST DANGEROUS STUNT’ AND IT IS EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVEThe stunt

Tom Cruise Does It Again, Death-Defying Stunt He Did For Mission impossible 

2022 has been a banner year for Tom Cruise. The iconic movie star gave one of the biggest hits of the year with Top Gun: Maverick which grossed a whopping 1.4 billion dollars worldwide. Up next, he’s set to entertain audiences yet again with Mission Impossible 7 and if the behind the scenes footage is anything to go by, the actor is pulling out all the stops to make his next film as epic as his last one.

Tom Cruise is no stranger to pulling off crazy stunts. After all, he was scaling and jumping cliffs all the way back in 2000 for Mission Impossible 2. Since then, he has run on sky scrappers, barely hung on a flying plane with his bare hands, hung from helicopters using his legs, jumped from one building to another, and even performed in zero gravity. So it’s probably not all that surprising to read about yet another dangerous stunt performed by Tom Cruise. However, this time, he has truly outdone himself and performed what could be a strong contender for the most dangerous stunt in cinematic history.

What is Tom Cruise’s death-defying Mission Impossible 7 stunt about?

For MI7, Cruise has, yet again, successfully performed an incredibly dangerous stunt. The stunt involves Cruise riding a motorcycle on an elevated ramp off a cliff. As the motorcycle jumps off the cliff, Cruise jumps off the motorcycle and after some tense seconds, opens his parachute. The crew, including director Christopher McQuarrie, are visibly stressed till Cruise is seen opening his parachute and safely landing on the ground.

To successfully pull off the stunt, Cruise had to undergo an entire year of training, including base jumping. Not just that, the crew also reported that Cruise had to do a whopping 500 skydives and 13,000 motocross jumps to properly prepare for the dangerous stunt.

It seems Tom Cruise never shies away from an action scene! The Hollywood star has revealed his “most dangerous stunt” and it is extremely impressive. Fans of the actor were surprised to see him doing his own stunts, after he shared some behind-the-scenes footage of ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.’

This is far and away the most dangerous thing we’ve ever attempted,” The 60-year-old actor said, posting a video jumping out of a plane and driving a motorcycle off a cliff. “We’re going to shoot it in Norway and it will be a motorcycle jump off a cliff into a base jump.”

The stunt coordinator for the film, Wade Eastwood, explained that Cruise had to study and train to perfect his skills. He spent “a year of base training, advanced sky-dive training, a lot of canopy skills, a lot of tracking.”

Tom’s coach Miles Daisher described the star as an “amazing individual” and praised him for his dedication in doing his own stunts. “You tell him something, and he just locks it in,” he said, talking about “his sense of spatial awareness” and adding that “he is the most aware person [he has] ever met.”

The director and writer for the film detailed the most challenging parts of making the scene come to life. “Coming up with the stunt is only one of the technical challenges,” said Christopher McQuarrie. “The other is putting a camera in place that you can see where Tom is doing it. Finding the right lens, the right platform, the right medium. Even two years ago, the cameras didn’t exist that would allow us to do what we are trying to do today.
