Tom Cruise risks his life in the latest stunt for Mission: Impossible 8. In other news, the sky is blue, and the grass is green.

As Hollywood's biggest movie star, Cruise has made his bones by executing several of the most jaw-dropping stunts in cinema's illustrious history. In the last decade, Cruise has performed a halo jump in Mission: Impossible – Fallout, piloted multiple aircraft in Top Gun: Maverick, and rode a motorcycle off a cliff in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning.
For his next trick, Cruise will hang upside down from a biplane in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.
