The trailer of ‘Mission Impossible- Fallout’ has garnered massive attention on social media since its release last month. Tom Cruise risked his life while performing a brand new stunt for a two-minute scene in the movie. Tom Cruise had to jump 25,000 feet at 200 miles per hour from a helicopter within two minutes that required him 200 hours of prior training to become an actual helicopter pilot so as to not to cheat the audiences.
Since they were shooting at dusk they only have three minutes of light to get the shot and therefore can only try it once in a day. Tom Cruise had to wear a proto-spacesuit to ensure an adequate amount of oxygen during the jump.
