A scene played by tom cruise in Mission: Impossible – Reckoning Part Oneleft the production team in “absolute terror”. Cruise, who is known for dispensing with stuntmen in parts of his action shots, agreed to do a take of speed-flying himself, a dangerous sport that involves gliding with a parachute to glide through the air at great heights.

The scene in question is already considered one of the most dangerous ever performed by the 61-year-old actor. She was shared in an exclusive backstage shared by Cruise. “It’s a very beautiful and delicate sport,” he said in the post (via Yahoo! Movies).

In the clip, the film’s director, Christopher McQuarrie, said that, despite being similar, speed-flying is not the same as skydiving, another modality that emulates free flight. “Speed-flying is very unpredictable,” he said.

“Flying through rocks sounds pretty cool, but behind the scenes we were all in absolute terror.”
