For Mission: Impossible 6, producer David Ellison says Cruise has been training for a year for the film’s marquee stunt scene.
The older Tom Cruise gets, the more he seems intent on pushing the boundaries of making movies to places they’ve never been before.
Cruise did 64 takes of the zero-gravity sequence, which Variety says was shot over two days and four high-altitude flights.
In the Mission: Impossible films in particular, he’s hung off the side of a tower in Dubai, and clutched onto the exterior of cargo plane upon take off.
