Tom Cruise is back in action, pushing the boundaries of risk and adrenaline in Mission: Impossible 8. Recent images from the filming set reveal Cruise engaging in a heart-stopping aerial stunt, hanging from an upside-down plane without a visible parachute.
This latest death-defying scene underscores Cruise's commitment to performing his own stunts, continuing the legacy of high-octane action that defines the Mission: Impossible franchise.

New Stunt Details Revealed

In newly released images, Tom Cruise can be seen clinging to a small biplane as it flips upside down, leaving the actor suspended mid-air. The stunt, filmed in Oxfordshire, England, also features Cruise's co-star Esai Morales, who reprises his role as the antagonist Gabriel from Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning.

A second pilot, dressed in a green screen suit, suggests that he will be digitally removed, making it appear as though Cruise is grappling alone in the perilous scene.

«When the plane flips upside down, Cruise — who did not appear to be wearing a parachute — is left hanging off it,» a source reported via The Mirror.



«The characters appeared to be filming a fight scene where they grapple with one another before the plane turns upside down. The pilot was dressed all in green, suggesting he will be removed from the scene and Cruise and Morales will be the only ones in the plane”, as quoted in a report by Movieweb.
