Tom Cruise’s film crew on his latest Mission: Impossible epic feared the American actor was about to die after he appeared to pass out on the wing of a stunt plane over South Africa.
The 62-year-old Hollywood star, who does his own stunts and was flying the biplane alone, was laid out flat on the wing after spending 22 minutes out of the cockpit – 10 more than safety guidelines allowed, the movie’s director Christopher McQuarrie told a masterclass at the Cannes Film Festival 2025, where Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning premiered.
