Tom Cruise admits treading on real life danger when he started doing his own stunts for "Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation." His pictures showing him hanging on the side of an A400 were as real as they could get, sidestepping the creation of special effects. As a pilot himself, Cruise is very familiar with the dangers of foreign bodies hitting the propellers of the plane and one stray stone could mean a bullet hitting him.

According to USAToday, the plane climbs so hard that his feet literally dangled, and to make him do the stunt four times in just two days are very impressive.

Apparently, his stunts were not the only thing that challenged the whole team. Cameras and other effects must also be properly installed in order to capture the dangerous stunt as well as keeping them from falling and hitting the actor. In an interview with Tom Cruise, he said, "You're concern about any piece of the camera breaking off. The speed of it, it would have gone through my head." The cold temperature as it climbs also challenged the actor as he remembered feeling hypothermic after his idea of wearing a suit didn't work.

Director Christopher McQuarrie acknowledged the fact that his responsibility was with Cruise if something crazy happens. He said, "I was responsible for what happened if he got hit by a bird, it was pretty nerve racking." The movie trailer posted on USAToday shows just how much the stunts went over the edge.

"Mission," whose casts includes Tom Cruise as "Ethan Hunt," Jeremy Renner as "William Brandt" and Alec Baldwin as "Head of the CIA," started filming in August 2014 in Vienna, Austria and wrapped up on March 12, 2015. Its target date of release is on July 31, 2015 under Paramount Pictures.
