With Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning arriving in Indian cinemas on May 23, excitement is building for Tom Cruise’s final and most daring mission. As Paramount Pictures India drops the high-octane trailer, it’s the perfect time to revisit the franchise’s most thrilling stunts — the moments that made Ethan Hunt a legend.
Here’s a countdown of the boldest, wildest, and most unforgettable action sequences from the Mission: Impossible series.
1. Burj Khalifa Climb – Ghost Protocol (2011)
Cruise climbs the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, 2,722 feet above ground. No stunt double. Just suction gloves, wind, and a fearless star. It’s one of the most iconic visuals in modern cinema.
2. Motorcycle Cliff Jump – Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)
Cruise rides a motorcycle off a cliff in Norway, then BASE jumps — all for real. No wires. No green screens. Just pure insanity.
3. Helicopter Chase – Fallout (2018)
Cruise learned to fly a helicopter just to perform this scene. A high-speed chase through the mountains, featuring jaw-dropping barrel rolls and real aerial danger.
4. HALO Jump – Fallout (2018)
A 25,000-foot skydive, filmed in one take at dusk. Cruise trained with experts to pull off the HALO (High-Altitude Low-Opening) jump. Precision, timing, and guts — all in one shot.
5. Underwater Heist – Rogue Nation (2015)
Cruise held his breath for over 6 minutes to film this intense underwater scene in a single take. One of the most realistic and dangerous underwater shots in cinema.
6. Train Fight Finale – Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)
An old-school action sequence with modern scale. Cruise runs on top of a speeding train, dodging obstacles, leaping between carriages — all while the train crumbles.
What’s Next for Ethan Hunt?
As The Final Reckoning draws near, one big question looms:
How will Tom Cruise top himself?
Each film has redefined action. With one final mission, fans expect Cruise to deliver his most unforgettable stunt yet.
