Watch: Tom Cruise riding off a cliff in dare-devil stunt for Mission Impossible

Tom Cruise has shared a new BTS clip from the sets of the upcoming Mission Impossible films. It shows him riding off a clip on a bike and then achieving a perfect base jump. “So excited to share what we’ve been working on. Mission Impossible,” the 60-year-old actor tweeted alongside the clip.

In the BTS video Tom Cruise prepares for the final shot by performing over 500 skydives and doing around 13,000 motocross jumps. He then nails the actual stunt on an elaborate ramp constructed on a cliff in Norway. Director Christopher McQuarrie closely watches him on screen, with his hand over his head. A crew member said Tom Cruise “rode off the cliff six times” the day he shot the final take. After the actor completes the stunt, he lands on the ground safely and tells Christopher McQuarrie, “Thanks man, I think I can hold onto the bike a little longer.”

The clip starts with Tom Cruise preparing and coordinating with director Christopher McQuarrie and experts from various fields to execute the master plan in Norway’s Hellesylt in 2020.
