Watch: Tom Cruise Pulls Off Heart-Stopping Stunt – ‘Most Dangerous Thing We’ve Ever Attempted’

Say whatever you will about movie star Tom Cruise, but you can’t say that he’s not crazy.

And unlike when referencing, say, his appearance on Oprah, this particular use of the term “crazy” is used in the most complimentary way possible.

Cruise, sharing a video first uploaded by the official “Mission: Impossible” Twitter account, took to social media to promote an insane stunt he and his team filmed.

The clip was both promotional, clearly getting “Mission: Impossible” fans excited for the upcoming movie, and practical, as the insane stunt will apparently play a big role in the upcoming “Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One” film.

Filmed in Norway in 2020, Cruise and his team took every young boy’s dream — building a ramp in your backyard to ride a bicycle onto it and go flying — and turned it into an absolutely wild stunt.

“This is far and away the most dangerous thing we’ve ever attempted,” the video begins.

“We’ve been working on this for years,” Cruise is then heard narrating. “We’re going to shoot it in Norway and it’ll be a motorcycle jump off a cliff into a BASE jump.”

BASE jumping, for those unfamiliar, is the recreational sport of jumping from fixed objects, using only a parachute to safely reach the ground again. Those “fixed objects” can include things like buildings, bridges and cliffs.

In Cruise’s case, it’s a massive man-made ramp on a Norwegian cliff. You can watch the whole clip above, but spoiler: He successfully completes the stunt and does not plummet to an unfathomably gruesome death.
