The shocking rescue of Tom Cruise by the 'Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning' team: "It was very dangerous"

Last Friday, May 23, 'Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One' was released in theaters and everything points to the fact that, in its first days at the box office, its box office would exceed the two previous ones with no less than 77 million dollars. Thus, the closing of Ethan Hunt's story seems to be a success, something that is increased due to the risks usually run by its protagonist Tom Cruise.

The actor, whose maxim of shooting action scenes himself has led him to some scares in the past, did not cease in his efforts to undergo any particularity, no matter how wild it may be. In 'Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning', this thought led him to suffer a problem that forced the film's team to rescue Tom Cruise to avoid a serious setback.

Tom Cruise's action coordinator praises the actor's dedication

In one of the most surprising scenes in the closing of the saga, Cruise walks on the wing of a biplane. That situation, as has been revealed, caused a scare. "It left him exhausted. The wind was hitting him and also the gusts of the propeller. It was the hardest training he has done, it was very dangerous and very exhausting for him. Many times we took him off the wing because he was very tired," explains Wade Eastwood, the film's action coordinator, in The Times.

Eastwood also praises Cruise's ability to work as if he were 20 years old, despite the fact that he is almost 63. He does not hesitate to reject any speculation about a possible retirement: "No way. He's a machine. He acts like he's 20 years old and there's no trickery here. It's just hard work and discipline along with his diet, nutrition and training."

The coordinator also acknowledges that Tom Cruise really shows himself to be happy and delighted with every action scene he has to shoot. "He always had fun during all his stunts, even when he was tired. He always has a positive attitude, with a smile and enjoys it."
