Mission: Impossible – Fallout” with star Tom Cruise and filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie finally revealing and explaining the film’s big stunt piece involving Cruise – a uniquely filmed HALO jump.
Explained in great detail via animatics and rough takes, the sequence took a year to figure out. The action sees Cruise’s Ethan Hunt and CIA agent August Walker (Henry Cavill) skydive from a high 35,000 feet altitude at sunset, jumping into a lightning storm above Paris.
Mid-jump, they are struck by lightning and Hunt must catch Walker, who is now unconscious, and resuscitate him mid-air. Cruise reportedly did 106 jumps out of a plane in order to get three usable takes which will be merged together to look like one. The lightning will be added digitally, but otherwise the whole sequence was done for real.
