Tom Cruise revealed Wednesday his "most dangerous stunt" in a behind-the-scenes feature for his upcoming film "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One ...

“The other is putting a camera in place that you can see where Tom is doing it.” “This is far and away the most dangerous thing we’ve ever attempted,” said the 60-year-old actor. Even two years ago, the cameras didn’t exist that would allow us to do what we are trying to do today,” McQuarrie added. The video said that he has performed over 13,000 in total. “This is far and away the most dangerous stunt we have ever attempted,” McQuarrie said. “Coming up with the stunt is only one of the technical challenges,” said McQuarrie.

Whether he's skydiving hundreds of times, flying his own helicopter, scaling the largest building in the world, jumping between buildings, or hanging off the ...

Cruise then goes back to the top of the cliff and jumps again, and again, and again. Even without filming, the ramp itself required months of time to be built by engineers and technicians, as parts of the ramp needed to be airlifted by helicopter to the top of the cliff in order to put it all together. Other than the ramp's construction, determining camera placement to get the best possible shots of the stunt was needed, and it required Cruise to perform even more practice jumps to figure out the best angles and drone placements. These practice runs were also essential to the technical preparation of the stunt, as a GPS attached to Cruise's body helped stunt coordinators anticipate the required speed and angle of Cruise's jump to best prepare when it was Each jump was leading Cruise to go off of the massive stunt ramp, and preparation required Cruise to complete over 13,000 separate motocross jumps before he was ready to practice off a larger ramp. This belief in the importance of real stunts and his belief in doing them himself has led to what Cruise and Paramount Pictures are calling "The Biggest Stunt in Cinema History."

The 60-year-old Cruise jumped a motorcycle off a cliff into a freefall six times for the latest "M:I" movie.

If you don’t get a clean exit form the bike…if you don’t open your parachute, you’re not going to make it.” “The other is putting a camera in place that you can see where Tom is doing it.” With base jumping and motocross skills honed, Cruise began training on a replica of the jump, launching himself off ramp into a quarry filled with impact-absorbing cardboard boxes. Even two years ago, the cameras didn’t exist that would allow us to do what we are trying to do today,” McQuarrie added. Cruise trained intensely for the feat. I’ve been wanting to do it since I was a little kid.”

Well, this stunt is by none other than Cruise himself who is seen plunging from the top of a cliff with his motorbike. In the video, the actor is seen jumping off a plane. After the success of his last film Top Gun Maverick, Tom Cruise recently dropped a shocking video of himself pulling a deadly stunt for his upcoming action drama, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning.

The behind-the-scenes clip shows the preparation Tom Cruise undertook to perform the spectacular scene. The clip shows Cruise filming with his team as they prepare for one of the biggest stunts in film history, as the clip even mentions, and with a motorbike included. Paramount Pictures has released a lengthy behind-the-scenes featurette offering a glimpse into Tom Cruise's upcoming “Mission: Impossible” film.

How does an actor and producer follow "Top Gun: Maverick," the biggest movie of his career and the most successful military movie of all time?

If this crazy motorcycle jump was the most impressive stunt in "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part I," there's no way the filmmakers would've leaked this much detail about it more than six months in advance of the release. Even with all that prep work, Cruise did six takes of the stunt on the movie's first day of filming. If you're Tom Cruise, that means taking more risks and pushing the envelope by filming stunts that are even more dangerous than what you delivered the last time around.

Regardless of his suitability, casting one of the most popular movie stars on the planet naturally brought a whole new audience to the property, who later sought out the books. More than that, Ritchson was given much more dialogue to handle than the novel's character did, who is so stoic that "Reacher said nothing" has become a meme among readers. That finally came to pass with 2012's [Jack Reacher](https://screenrant.com/tag/jack-reacher/), a taut action-thriller starring Cruise. Longtime readers of the Jack Reacher novels just couldn't accept Cruise, making for a distracting experience. Says the author, "So it wasn’t a question of firing him or getting rid of him, it was that the project moved on to television, and he would not go with it.
