Tom Cruise Shares Video of Stunt That Could Have Suffocated Him (It’s Terrifying)

Tom Cruise reveals an exhilarating yet potentially lethal behind-the-scenes footage from Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. In this clip, the actor gets ready for a risky underwater scene, taking several deep breaths before donning his gear. As Cruise dives into the tank, it’s likely director Christopher McQuarrie’s voice urging caution, expressing a wish to halt filming rather than endanger someone severely. The video concludes with an unnerving shot of Cruise submerged in water before fading to black.

McQuarrie prefers that if you notice a problem, instead of shouting “Cut!”, you should exercise caution and halt production to prevent anyone from getting injured. You can check out the video on Cruise’s official X account.

In a recent news sensation, Tom Cruise’s daring stunt has been under discussion, as he shared that he faced the risk of suffocation during its filming. The actor explained the hardships involved in capturing this scene, revealing that he was essentially inhaling his own carbon dioxide, which had a significant impact on his health. For this sequence, Cruise was enclosed within an enormous 8.5-million-liter tank. McQuarrie further clarified that Cruise was situated inside a spinning structure, and it proved challenging to create a scene that seemed both chaotic and disorganized while ensuring safety for multiple retakes.

As a dedicated movie buff, I can’t help but be thrilled by the anticipation surrounding Tom Cruise’s death-defying exploits as Ethan Hunt in “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning”. This May, we’ll get to witness the action firsthand. Just this past week, the man himself gave us a glimpse behind the scenes of one of the movie’s breathtaking stunts by posting a video of him hanging off a biplane high above the ground. Talk about heart-stopping!

From these videos, it’s evident that when creating “The Final Reckoning,” Cruise and McQuarrie spared no effort. The Mission: Impossible series is renowned for Tom Cruise’s death-defying stunts, and he’s attempting to surpass himself yet again. During a screening of “The Final Reckoning,” someone mentioned feeling like they were choking through one of the movie’s intense scenes. McQuarrie didn’t specify which scene elicited that response, but it might be this one. It seems likely that Ethan will be pushed to his very limits during the underwater sequence, mirroring what Tom Cruise experienced in real life while filming it.

The exceptional feats performed by the cruise ship (or Tom Cruise, depending on context) during the stunts in “The Final Reckoning” serve to emphasize the movie’s sense of conclusiveness; it marks the end of almost three decades of storytelling spanning across eight films, and there is uncertainty about whether Tom Cruise will reprise his role for another installment. If this turns out to be the last chapter in Ethan Hunt’s tale, it seems fitting that he and his team would strive to make this journey more spectacular than any other preceding it. This unwavering commitment to creating lasting impressions on the audience is what has made the Mission: Impossible series a beloved franchise for many fans over the years. Thankfully, Tom Cruise was able to execute all the stunts without sustaining major injuries, and we eagerly await seeing what more he has planned when “The Final Reckoning” hits theaters in a few months.
