Tom Cruise Jumps Out of Plane 25,000 Feet Up in Death-Defying Stunt for Mission: Impossible – Fallout

That boy Tom Cruise is at it again! Cruise, a stuntman who occasionally acts, decided to jump from a plane at 25,000 feet. Cruise claims he did this for the upcoming Mission: Impossible film, but we’re pretty sure he did it because he is an awesome crazy person. See the Mission: Impossible – Fallout stunt below.

Tom Cruise loves to risk his life for his movies. In the previous Mission: Impossible film, Mission: Impossible: Rogue Nation, Cruise held his breathe underwater for six minutes and hung off the side of a plane at 1,000 feet. Not one to sit back and rest on his laurels, Cruise has been pushing the stunts even further for the upcoming Mission: Impossible film, Mission: Impossible – Fallout. Cruise broke his ankle jumping off a goddamn building for this film, but that wasn’t enough. He also jumped out of an airplane. Because of course he did.

Fallout director Christopher McQuarrie shared a photo on Instagram of Cruise getting ready for his death-defying stunt. “Just one shot left. At 25,000 feet,” McQuarrie wrote. “At 200 mph. At dusk. Three minutes of available light. Two minutes of action. One chance per day.”

This isn’t the first time this stunt has come up. McQuarrie brought it up a few weeks ago (sort of) by posting these vague photos.

This isn’t the only big, crazy stunt shared by the team behind Mission: Impossible – Fallout. Last month, a video of Cruise piloting a helicopter appeared online. Actually, let me clarify: Cruise doesn’t just pilot the chopper. He points it straight down at the earth and spins out of control during the descent.
