Tom Cruise recalls getting over his first "Mission Impossible" at the last minute

Due to the many action scenes that he does without specialists, Tom Cruise seems to have been eaten by his character in fiction Ethan Hunt. The spy IMF (Impossible Mission Force) is used in each delivery to overcome a maximum security obstacle with the risk of death or instant detection by the villains on duty. Outside of fiction, Cruise does the same by preparing himself and risking the most to make the scene feel as real as possible. Sometimes the risk is as great as the one he recently counted for Mission Impossible 7, in which he had to jump a motorcycle down a ramp and open a parachute.In an interview on the anniversary Blu-ray edition of Mission Impossible, Tom Cruise spoke with director Christopher McQuarrie about the mythical free-falling scene hanging from a cable that has so often been parodied in recent cinema. At that time, the actor was not that expert in doing this type of action scenes and it was difficult for him to balance quickly with the cable from which he was hanging. “We were running out of time, and he kept hitting my face and the shot didn’t work out,” Cruise recalled frustrated. In the end he had to ask team members for pounds sterling to put on his shoes as counterweights. Tom Cruise and Brian de Palma on the set of “Mission Impossible” (Paramount Pictures) To put in a situation to all those who do not remember the complexity of the mission, Ethan Hunt had to access a room to steal information from a computer. trouble? The space itself had a security system by which any pressure force or contact with the ground triggered the alarm.Everything seems to be going wonderfully until Jean Reno’s character is loosed by a rat and Cruise falls another so many meters until he is grabbed again by the restraint, with which the protagonist must make a balancing gesture to not even touch a floor that was a few inches. Director Brian de Palma said to Cruise: “One more and then I’ll have to cut” to which he replied “I can do it.” Then the scene was repeated and he succeeded and the actor remembers thinking at that moment: “Oh my God, I didn’t touch him.” “And I was holding it, holding it, holding it, holding it. And I’m sweating and I’m sweating And keep rolling ”. After holding the shot for a long time, Cruise realized that De Palma had gotten the shot and was stretching it out to play with him. Finally the director cut the scene laughing.
