Tom Cruise’s 10 Most Extreme Stunts Outside Mission Impossible

Tom Cruise and his brand of performing over-the-top stunts go beyond the Mission: Impossible franchise. He has already climbed a mountain, faced a knife to his eye at a fatally close distance, held his breath underwater for six minutes, and rode off a cliff for the Mission: Impossible movies but even beyond his antics as IMF Agent Ethan Hunt, the action star has had a notorious history of performing thrillingly dangerous stunts. While he had been involved in such theatrics since the ’80s and ’90s, his “need for speed” only seems to have increased with age – just take into consideration how much Tom Cruise runs in every Mission: Impossible movie.
