Tom Cruise, driving a motorcycle and plunging off a cliff in 'Mission: Impossible 7,' filmed the most dangerous scene on the first day of shooting.

"Can we shoot it and know on day one, do we have a movie or not?" he said.

The implicit message is that the action scenes in 'Mission: Impossible 7' are more dangerous than in 'Mission: Impossible 6.' The previous film had to pause production midway due to Tom Cruise breaking his ankle while jumping off a rooftop, resulting in significant losses. Learning from that experience, they scheduled the cliff jump scene for the first day, so if there were severe injuries or fatalities, they could call it quits without incurring excessive losses.

During an interview with Empire Entertainment, Tom Cruise discussed the preparations for these dangerous stunts: 'If the wind's too strong, it will blow me off the ramp. When I'm on the bike, I've got about six seconds to pull my chute, and I don't want to get tangled in the bike. If I do, that's not going to end well.'

They performed this dangerous scene six times to achieve the best result.

Tom Cruise is a frequent participant in hazardous stunts and has extensive experience with dangerous performances. He underwent extensive training, including over 13,000 off-road motorcycle jumps and more than 500 skydiving training sessions.
