The latest installment of the M.I. franchise "Mission: Impossible- Rogue Nation" will showcase yet another death-defying stunt carried out by Hollywood star Tom Cruise himself.
Since the earlier "Mission: Impossible" movies, the actor has been famous for carrying out the film's daring stunts and dangerous sequences by himself without a stuntman. In "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol," Cruise left movie fans stunned as he scaled the world's tallest building in Dubai.

This time, for the fifth installment of the blockbuster action movie, fans will see Ethan Hunt hanging from outside of an airplane as it takes off, doing the stunt all by himself without a double.
"It was intense," Cruise told Access Hollywood in an interview, describing the terrifying stunt that he revealed they had to shoot eight times to make sure they got it right.
"I wore a vest and had one wire that kept me to the side of the plane so I wouldn't fly off as we were going down the runway," he explained.
Cruise also opened up about assuring his film crew that he was all ready to perform the stunt.
"I said, 'Look. If I look terrified, don't stop. We're gonna keep going, because I'm acting, no matter what you see me do.'"
To prepare for the death-defying stunt, the Hollywood star checked out the plane they were going to use the night before just to get the feel of it, TV3 reported.
But perhaps nothing could fully prepare him for the daring stunt, as Cruise enthused that he went, "Holy sh**t!" as the plane went down the runway.
"Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation" will deal with the "complications of friendship," NDTV reported in a statement by Cruise.
"I think Rogue Nation is about finding that intimate aspect of true teamwork in the face of pure evil," the statement added. "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation" opens July 31 nationwide.
