Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt HALO jumping out of a plane in Mission: Impossible - Fallout
We are all very used to seeing Tom Cruise go to extreme lengths to almost die frequently for our entertainment, and the upcoming Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning looks set to raise the bar even further. Serving as a sequel to Dead Reckoning, the eighth installment of the blockbuster franchise will see Cruise return as super-spy Ethan Hunt, facing off against Esai Morales' Gabriel and the menacing artificial intelligence known as The Entity .
“We had a small screening and someone said, ‘I was suffocating throughout the entire sequence. I almost had a heart attack.’ And I thought, ‘I guess we did something right.’” In Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Cruise jumped out of a plane at 25,000 feet, performing a High-Altitude, Low-Opening parachute jump, which required him to undergo extensive training and perform over 100 jumps just to get the shot. Oh, and let’s not forget the helicopter sequence, where Cruise not only piloted the chopper himself. Oh, and in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, Cruise decided to hang off the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
