‘We couldn’t tell if he was conscious’: Tom Cruise got stuck on top of biplane shooting Mission: Impossible sequel


The star, who at 62 performed his own stunts for the forthcoming Final Reckoning, tells Cannes press conference ‘I don’t mind encountering the unknown’

Tom Cruise got stuck on the wing of a biplane shortly before it ran out fuel during the filming of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, the director of the eighth instalment of the action franchise has revealed. Cruise, who swooped into the Palais de Festivals as part of a multi-stop promotional tour also including stops in Japan, Korea and London, talked up his prowess as he joined the director on stage. McQuarrie, who first made a mark in Hollywood as the scriptwriter behind 1995 cult thriller The Usual Suspects, bemoaned that the US film industry in its current state was “driving a wedge through cinema” by increasingly forcing film-makers to choose between seeing themselves as artists or as entertainers.
