Actor Tom Cruise, who just turned 61 this week, pulled off a death-defying stunt in the newest Mission Impossible film that has been acclaimed as the "biggest and most dangerous stunt in cinema history".
Crew from behind the scenes of Paramount Pictures gave an inside look at the master plan behind executing the daring scene in the seventh instalment of the Mission Impossible series franchise Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.
Cruise has been famously known in Hollywood for fearlessly performing his own stunts, and he's not slowing down now. In a 10-minute video posted by Paramount in December, the star shocks audiences with a scene of him driving a motorcycle off the edge of a cliff and falling from the sky, then dismounting the bike and parachuting into a Norwegian valley.
