While playing Ethan Hunt, Cruise hung off the side of an airplane, performed a HALO jump at 25,000 feet, and drove a motorcycle off a cliff before skydiving to safety.

Tom Cruise has run the gauntlet of on-screen stunts in the Mission: Impossible series. From HALO jumps at 25,000 feet to literally clinging to the side of a plane during takeoff, Cruise has put his body on the line as Ethan Hunt across seven movies and almost 30 years.
