Someone has ranked every single one of Tom Cruise's running scenes on screen, and you'll be shocked by how many there are

Ethan Hunt running.

It's reached a point in his incredible career that Tom Cruise would hype up the audience by running just as much as he would by hanging off a plane. Seeing the cinema-saving star going so fast, even the cameras are struggling to keep up with him, is a must-have moment in his films now, earning a place in the "Mission: Impossible" movies checklist alongside a fuse being lit or Simon Pegg getting yelled at while he's giving IT advice. In honor of this trademark talent of the star moving like a Cruise missile on foot, one fan has taken to Reddit and managed to compile and rank every time he's run in his movies, and his top 10 instances are crammed with some iconic scenes.

Of his 44 films, Tom Cruise has managed to get caught running like he's mad at the floor an incredible 295 times, with the collective sprints in a single movie only growing as the years have gone by. For example, according to the detailed fan assessment, in his last film, Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning, Cruise is seen running on 17 different occasions throughout the film, with each instance spread across the list, all earning their specific spot for very different reasons.
