According to director Christopher McQuarrie, it’s been in the works for years. The duo began teasing this stunt back at CinemaCon 2023 during early promo for Dead Reckoning, and they've spent the last two years carefully crafting and shooting this aerial insanity.Cruise, who once clung to the side of a cargo plane as it took off (Rogue Nation), and later jumped out of a real plane for a high-altitude skydive (Fallout), seems determined to make these death defying stunts the unofficial theme of this franchise.The Final Reckoning picks up with Hunt and his IMF team in a full-throttle race to stop The Entity once and for all. Stakes are higher, explosions are bigger, and if this biplane stunt is anything to go by, Cruise is going out swinging—literally.This is shaping up to be the most intense Mission yet.
