Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell and Vanessa Kirby star in Christopher McQuarrie's sequel.
One of the most impressive action sequences to come out of Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One saw Ethan Hunt and Grace making their way through a train while the wagons fall off a destroyed rails segment. Apparently, that sequence alone was originally set to last as much as a short movie, expanding the sequel's runtime into something closer to the four-hour mark.
was about an hour-and-a-half long in our first iteration. We got it down to like 50 minutes in the finished movie. The point in which Ethan Hunt gets to the train in Christopher McQuarrie's movie is directly related to the climax of the film. After chasing an artifact that could define the future of the world for most of the movie, Hunt receives word that Alanna Mistopolis will be carrying it on the train, with the problem being that the agent won't be allowed into the transport due to the heavy security set around it.
Ethan Hunt drives a motorcycle off the side of a cliff to reach the train via parachute, in a death-defying stunt that Cruise himself performed six times when the scene was filmed. When he finally gets to the train, Ethan has to wait until the perfect moment to enter, retrieve the device and leave before Alanna's henchmen kill him. However, Gabriel was already two steps ahead of him, making the rails explode to drop the train into the river in case anything went wrong.
