- Tom Cruise's latest film, Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, features a thrilling plane sequence where he performed his own demanding stunts.
- During the aerial scene, Cruise revealed he almost broke his back and separated finger joints due to the immense force of holding onto a seatbelt.
- He also performed a wing-walking stunt, a childhood ambition that took decades to realise for the film.
- Filming the plane scene caused him to pass out due to lack of oxygen at high speeds, necessitating specific breathing training.
- Cruise was awarded a Guinness World Record for 'most burning parachute jumps by an individual' for a stunt in the film, involving 16 jumps from a helicopter with a burning parachute.
