Watch The Mission Impossible 7 Stunt Tom Cruise Had To Train Three Years For
Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie wanted to up the ante for the latest Mission: Impossible adventure
Setting up the stunt was only the first challenge; the other was developing new technology to show Cruise performing it. The crew devised a gimbal rig with cameras hanging from both sides, operated from a helicopter not far from Cruise's Ethan Hunt while in flight.
"Flying very close to rocks looks quite beautiful," McQuarrie said. "Behind the scenes, we were all in absolute terror."
Dead Reckoning Part 1 will finally hit theaters on July 12, with Part 2 arriving next July. There have been more features about the wild stunts that Cruise and his team performed for the film. The most talked-about ones include the wrecking of a 70-ton train and a base jump scene that was filmed on the first day just in case Cruise died.
