Tom Cruise | Tom Cruise sheds light on death-defying motorcycle cliff jump from Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One
Tom Cruise has released additional behind-the-scenes footage from the production of “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” showcasing his dilemma and subsequent triumph while performing a high-risk motorcycle stunt. The latest installment in the spy thriller franchise presented challenges for the 60-year-old actor, which he overcame during the shoot.
The actor took to Twitter to share the footage, which includes a new death-defying stunt. In the caption, he wrote, “Why are we doing this? Because it is ‘Mission: Impossible’.”
Director Christopher McQuarrie, who helms “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” also appears in the 31-second-long video to discuss the dangerous stunt. At one point, Cruise expresses doubt, saying, “What am I doing, this is a terrible idea.” However, he quickly changes his tune and declares, “When do we start?”
The behind-the-scenes footage then transitions to the moment Cruise performs the daring stunt, plunging off a cliff on his motorcycle. The clip concludes with both the director and actor looking concerned and unsure about the outcome.
In December 2022, Paramount Pictures shared an extended behind-the-scenes video on YouTube, referring to the stunt as “the biggest stunt in cinema history.”
The seventh and penultimate installment of the “Mission Impossible” franchise is set to hit theaters on July 12. The film also features Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Henry Czerny, Vanessa Kirby, Frederick Schmidt, Hayley Atwell, and Mark Gatiss.
Tom Cruise will reprise his role as the daredevil Impossible Missions Force (IMF) spy Ethan Hunt. “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” is a collaborative effort by Paramount Pictures, TC Productions, and Skydance.
