Tom Cruise Reveals Decades-Long Preparation for Mission Impossible Stunts

Tom Cruise has revealed that his jaw-dropping stunts in the 'Mission: Impossible' series are the result of decades of preparation, involving extensive training and mastery of aerial maneuvers. Speaking at the global premiere of 'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning,' Cruise emphasized his commitment to performing his own stunts to emotionally engage audiences rather than have them simply watch the movie. He has been flying airplanes, studying aerial photography, and learning aerobatics for over 40 years, applying these skills to create authentic and thrilling cinematic experiences. The latest film showcases Cruise hanging off planes, jumping off buildings, and participating in underwater sequences, all requiring meticulous technical and physical preparation. His dedication has set a new standard in Hollywood action films, pushing the boundaries of stunt work and immersive storytelling. Despite the film’s technical achievements and impressive stunts, some critiques note a lack of a coherent plot and a compelling villain to match Cruise’s performance.
