Tom Cruise is a multi-talented individual who has established himself in the action film industry.  The work that Cruise has put into his action movies is superior to that of other franchises, such as james Bond, Die Hard, and Fast & Furious.  Most of Cruise's stunts are from the Mission: Impossible franchise, and he does all of them himself, unlike the other actors. 

He has a reputation for going above and above and achieving the seemingly impossible.  He may be considered an actual Ethan Hunt.  Because each of his action films features more riskier stunts and higher stakes, Cruise has consistently impressed his fans.  Although Cruise has found himself in some really difficult situations, he managed to acquire the picture and create an action scene that will live in the memory for a long time. 

5. Hanging Off a Plane
'Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation' (2015)


Cruise has already done some death-defying acts by the time he arrives in Rogue Nation, but that doesn't stop him.  Cruise is seen hanging on the side of an aircraft as it lifts off in the opening scene of this edition.  The speed and air pressure make this extremely risky, yet Cruise seems to be enjoying himself.

 4. Low Flying Flyby
'Top Gun: Maverick' (2022)


Cruise did not perform most of the stunts in the first Top Gun, but he did learn how to fly the planes.  The action star decided to teach the other members of the group how to fly in Top Gun: Maverick.  Everyone learned how to fly an F-14 when he took them all to school.  Cameras are positioned in the cockpit with the actors to accurately record their reactions, raising the stakes both visually and from an action perspective.

3. The Halo Jump
'Mission: Impossible - Fallout' (2018)


Because the camera was focused directly on Cruise's face rather than a wide shot with a stunt double, the Halo jump in Fallout proved successful.  His emotions were evident to the audience as he attempted to assemble the others during a thunderstorm.  As an actor, only Cruise would be composed enough to pull off this stunt with ease.  

2. Burj Khalifa Climb
'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' (2011)


Cruise has the ability to scale a train, climb a mountain, and, of course, scale a whole skyscraper.  Because of the way it was filmed, the Burj Khalifa wall crawl is one of the most thrilling scenes in the Mission: Impossible franchise and one of the best action sequences of the decade.  Brad Bird, the director, employed aerial shots to show Ethan Hunt scaling the walls.

1. Motorbike Jump
'Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One' (2023)


Christopher McQuarie, the director, acknowledged that the stunt was recorded on the first day of production.  It was arranged so early in the production not just to serve as a significant marketing tool but also to give the crew and directors as much time and money as possible to rethink the filming procedure in the event that the stunt didn't work out.
