Tom Cruise's Most Dangerous Stunts In Mission Impossible

Tom Cruise is an adrenaline junkie and a thrill seeker. Even as a kid he loved bike racing, fast cars, motorcycles, hiking, climbing and other adventures. He does death-defying stunts in his films and doesn't even use a body double. He does them all by himself. The only stunt for which Cruise has used a double-double was the one where he had to kick a female actor in the stomach.

Here are some of the most dangerous stunts for which Cruise risked his life because he loves the adrenaline rush!

1. Hanging on a moving plane

In Mission: Impossible 〞 Rogue Nation, Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt runs across a moving plane as it speeds down the runway. He hangs on it trying to open the door, which obviously is shut. So what does he do next? He hangs on it while the plane takes off.

2. Free fall from an aircraft aka Halo jump

In Mission Impossible: Fallout, he did the impossible halo jump. Cruise himself said, "We were told on numerous occasions that it's impossible ... and it's never gonna happen." But he did it. He jumped from a moving aircraft at 200 miles per hour from an altitude of 25,000 feet. On his way down, he deals with lightning and revives August Walker (Henry Cavill) before pulling his parachute for landing.

3. Climbing the Burj Khalifa

In Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol, Cruise climbed the world's tallest building with an incoming sandstorm and his malfunctioned high-tech climbing gloves. He was 829 meters above the ground.

4. Drove a motorbike off a clip

In his film Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One which has been released in India today, he drove a motorbike off a clip leaving himself to free fall before pulling out his parachute for a rough landing. This was the first stunt he shot for the film. He called it the most deadly stunt he ever performed.

5. Held his breadth underwater for six long minutes

For Mission: Impossible 〞 Fallout, Cruise trained himself extensively to hold his breath for six minutes. He increased his lung capacity and slowed his heart rate for the underwater stunt. The stunt required him underwater for four minutes but for safety reasons, he learnt to hold his breadth for six minutes.

6. Leaped from one building to another - broke his ankle

For another stunt in Mission: Impossible - Fallout, what his fans feared had happened. He injured himself. While leaping from one building to another, he broke his ankle but didn't leave the scene incomplete. He performed it in pain and the scene made the final cut.

7. High-speed motorbike chase

In Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, the high-speed motorbike chase has all the thrill - from gunfire to exposions and crashes. In the scene, Cruise has his knee scraping the road before he overtakes the truck.

8. Chases scene in narrow streets of Paris

In Mission: Impossible 〞 Fallout, Cruise drives a motorcycle in the narrow streets of Paris amid many hurdles and vehicles. The scene is also proof that Cruise has amazing riding skills and the ability to handle dangerous situations.

9. The train chase scene

This one is from the first Mission Impossible movie. In this one, Cruise climbs on top of the moving train and hooks the chopper to one of the carriages moments before the train enters the tunnel and he flings on it.

10. Free climbing

Cruise is not only a good driver, pilot and even a good climber. He took leaps across the rock and even dangles one-handed. The scene didn't add to the plot but it did keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

11. Shanghai skyscraper swing

In Mission: Impossible III, Cruise's Ethan Hunt takes a massive leap from the top of a skyscraper. He then swings from a metal cable, detaches in mid-air and then on the slanted glass surface of another second building, and then he slides down several stories.

12. Helicopter chase

In this stunt, Tom Cruise dangles beneath a helicopter using a rope to climb up to the cockpit and then climbs aboard, defeats the pilot, and flies the helicopter himself. So, not just in Top Gun Maverick, he has displayed his pilot skills in this one as well.
